Target Mini Update

I forgot to include this Liv playset in my last post. It's a rather cute scooter (I like the stripes!) and a random 'pet' set. (hey, I rhyme!)

The cutest thing about the pet one is the little hamster wheel, but you can't see it in the photo.

I was just going to edit the previous post to include the picture, but for those of you (any of you?) reading this blog regularly that are in the US, I just wanted to mention Target has a lot of this new stuff on sale! Bitty Buttons are $20 each (instead of $25) and the clothing sets are a $1 off. I should've maybe waited to buy the sets I bought, but it was only a dollar, so I'm not that sad. I did want to get a second doll (because $4-5 off is not bad) and I was going to get it this weekend (tax free weekend!) but they really didn't have many in stock. Pretty much just the one I have and the one with the owl. Hopefully I can locate another one before the sale ends. I still want spots splatter and the girl with the blue hair. That blue hair girl is extremely scare so I don't have much hope for her. But maybe I can find Spots? I tried checking the Target webpage, and it supposedly tells you what is in stock near you, but having done it immediately after hitting the store I can definitely guarantee that this feature of their webpage is either totally useless or else they have a lot of stuff hidden in the back that you need to ask someone to locate for you (I didn't try this).

Liv dolls are also on sale, as well as the clothes sets. The clothes sets are $8 at the moment, rather than $9.99. It's still not 'cheap', but I guess it's better anyway... I already got the clothes set I wanted most, unfortunately, but I picked up a second. I considered getting a wig (also on sale for $4.50), but I decided it wasn't worth it because I don't *need* a wig, and I am sending money lately like my wallet is on fire. I really wanted to get the 'nature' line doll with the blue plaid shirt and the bunny (Hayden) but for some reason although all the other dolls were like $16ish, that one was randomly $18! Why is just that one more expensive? So weird. I mean, it wasn't even the whole 'nature' line that was $18 or anything - just her! So I didn't get her. >.< (yes, I know, she was still on sale. But also, like I said, I don't need to be buying so much stuff!

I thought the flier also said Moxie was on sale, but I didn't see any sale moxies, so I didn't buy any. Of course I have also noticed that Target (at least near me!) is doing a lousy job of updating the price signs that are on their shelves. When I scan things, they are often cheaper. This is better than them being more expensive, of course, but it's sort of weird. I mean, if it's cheaper, isn't it better to say so? Is this some sort of surprise reward if you decide to buy it? I noticed this especially for the Disney fairies (I bought the purple girl too. ^^;) - they are marked correctly in CT, but have been wrong for 2 weeks in Boston. Odd!

Here's a shot of my purchases (you know, the non-practical ones):

You can click through for notes if you like and are not coming in thru flickr anyway - I don't think there's anything particularly 'noteworthy' (ha!) but just in case. I'm too lazy to re-write what I said there here, esp. since I said a lot of it above... ;P
