Target + Goodwill= Happy Ange

February 7, 2012

A few days ago the bub’s and I were out running some errands and I decided we should stop into Goodwill. Did you know that Target brings their clearance to Goodwill?  Not sure if all Goodwills get this deal or not but mine does. 
While browsing the store I saw a beautiful Target box that held a toy organizer but a lady was already looking at it. She walked away and then dropped her coffee all over the floor so while she was distracted, I looked at the box,  saw the price tag

grabbed that box and threw it into my cart. Then we ran for the checkout before someone tried to steal it from us. The bub’s was excited because he thought the bins came filled with the toys on the box. It was probably a little disappointing for him when I opened the box at home and there were only the bins and other pieces, no cool toys. The only thing wrong with the organizer was that one pole was a tad bit shorter than the others but I made it work and you can’t even see it because it gets covered up by the bins..

After we assembled it,  he was really excited to help me fill it with his toys and then he proceeded to play with his toys for a long time. Not only was this organizer a steal of a deal, it also made the bub’s toys appear fun again. 

While visiting Target with my fam on Saturday I came across my Goodwill toy Organizer and was shocked at the price!

Yup, that is the same exact one we have at home for only $10! 

Of course this has my wheels turning and I’m thinking about the bub’s room.   This piece was just what I needed to get the room started.   Right now the walls are a dark greenish blue color and I’ve been saying since we moved in that I need to paint his room.  Today the stars aligned for me at Menards while I was browsing for a blue paint color and wasn’t find anything.  I walked past the mismatched $5 gallon paint section and there was a blue that matched the pale blue bin perfectly!  Five dollars, yes please!  So I’m thinking my next room is the little dude’s room!  So far I have $15 in it and I’m hoping with another $50 I can finish it up.  I found a few pics on Pinterest the other day, this one is my favorite.

    I have two of those organizers from when my kids were little. One I just gave to my brother for his kids and one I added to my pool house for pool toys. You got an awesome deal. I know I paid full price.

    Ahhhhh!!! Ange, I'm almost ashamed to tell you this…but I have that same exact toy bin shelving in my son's room…and I paid full price for it! Ugh. LOL! Does it help balance it out that his headboard only cost $5? :-)I love the direction you are headed in with the bubs room and I know it will look fantastic!

    Awesome find! Not all goodwills get target cast-offs. I wish ours did. I love that you grabbed it and ran while the lady was distracted. Be honest, you knocked over her coffee, didn't you? 🙂
