Having three boys, even spaced as ours are can be hard on our budget for birthdays. I always seem to be struggling to make goody bags for our guests, which consists of almost all family. With my middle one having a birthday at the beginning of December, I got the idea a couple of years ago to hit the clearance sales after Halloween. It worked out great as he wanted a Spy themed party. The yellow crime scene type ribbon was perfect for decorations. I never think to look at other after holiday clearance sales.
This week, I thought about it since I have one with a birthday at the end of March and the youngest at the end of May. I found some great party favors(paddle balls, yo-yos, and fresbies) at Walmart for a quarter a piece the other day. Then yesterday at Target I went to their Valentines clearance section, which was 90% off. I spent about $2.50 and got tons of boxes of cards. Several of these boxes had pencils in them. What a great idea for party goody bags!! This also gives my 7 year old several choices for cards next year without having to pay the higher prices. I was thrilled.
Now I still have St. Patrick's day to go and then Easter clearance as well. I try to get the things that actually do not have the holiday theme or name on them and it works great.
Hope this helps out some others as well.
