What To Buy During The Valentines Day Clearance Sales

I love deals and buying things to use in the future. So, After the kids were off to school on Tuesday I headed out to see what I could find in the Valentines day clearance sales - there are so many great buys and ways to use these deals beyond Valentines day.

I went to Target, Walgreen's , Fred Meyers and Big Lots – try your local Big Box stores, Drug Stores and grocery stores even department stores for more great clearance deals.

Here is what I found and what to look for:

1. Gift Wrap – perfect for to wrapping any upcoming birthday party gifts. You can pick up wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags , party bags etc

2. Groceries- I found Valentine funfetti Pillsbury Brownie Mix – it can be used with out the Valentine sprinkles in the future. Look for other groceries that are now being cleared out because they had a Valentine them to them that you can use still cake mixes, snack foods etc.

3. Paper goods – Valentine theme ones for next year, or non heart ones and solid colors for upcoming birthdays, mothers day, for 4^th of July and Christmas.

5. Table ware - Table cloths, runners, decorations, cups, glasses, serving bowls etc. I found Place mats that I will use next year during the month of February. Look for solid colors for year round use.
