Halloween Clearance

Short Pump Target and Walmart have LOTS of candy @ 50% off.

Either (or both) could go to 75% off as early as Friday.

Use clearance items to:
  • Satisfy a sweet tooth.  Look for your favorite items and stock-up to last a couple of months.
  • Fill Operation Christmas Child Boxes.  Both hard candy and gum can be placed in zipper-type bags and added to these.
  • Stock up on "Christmas" Candy.  (Transfer candies with plain wrappers into clear goody bags to distribute as gifts or party favors.)
  • Get some baking supplies.  (Chocolate bars can be chopped up and used when baking.  Multi-colored candies can be used to decorate gingerbread houses.)
  • Plan for party favors.  (For example:  green, black, orange and pink gel bracelets may be packaged together.   Add black and pink ones to goody bags for a Rock and Roll birthday party.  Slip green and orange ones into goody bags when you daughter has a Luau party.)
  • Purchase princess costumes for your daughter's dress-up box.  (Save for a Christmas or birthday gift.)
