Clearanced Valentine's Items Make Great Operation Christmas Child Items!!!!! Learn how to get a LOT for very little $Money!

Now that Valentine's day is over, stores will be marking their Valentine's Day items down by 50-90% OFF!!!!
This will give you an opportunity to stock up for next Valentine's saving you money to use elsewhere.
I also like to start my Operation Christmas Child Boxes stockpile. 
The best items to look for are:

• non-chocolate hard candies such as lollipops, jolly ranchers, sweet tarts, etc.  
• Stuffed Animals (smaller ones work better for OCC boxes to allow for other items in the box, but bigger ones can go to Toys for Tots) 
• Baby dolls
• Toys (keep in mind no war related or weapon toys for OCC)
• Bubbles (for your own use. Not allowed for OCC)
• Puzzles
• Games
• Stickers
• Cups
• Valentines for your own use next year
• Play jewelry
• Match Box cars
• Arts and craft items
• Coloring Books
• School supplies
• Toiletry items such as tooth brushes, tooth paste, combs, etc.

Basically anything that won't go bad in a year(if for you) or about 7-8 months (for OCC).

Here's where to look:

• Walgreens
• Right Aid
• CVS
• Target
• Walmart
• Kmart
• Meijer
• Your local grocery store

Keep in mind the longer you wait, the bigger the discount!!! Most start out at 50% off and within a couple days it will be 75% off. Wait just a tad more and it will be 90% off!!!! If their isn't much stock, you should grab it if you want, however if they have a TON, it should be safe to wait a couple days to see if the discount goes up.

Happy Shopping. Let me know if you find some awesome deals!
