Just a quick reminder that Old Navy is having their “secret” Cami shirt sale starting today thru Saturday. You’ll be able to buy $2 layering camis with a limit of 5 per person.  You can either bring a printable coupon or say the phrase “Cami 4 Me” at checkout.  A reader noted that these are not priced $2 in the store (priced $5) – but you will get the discount when you say the special phrase or bring the coupon.  This is an in-store only deal.

I spent about $100 on these items, but saved almost $300!   This is such a great time to stock up on gifts – I was able to buy gifts for my girls, my nieces & nephews & other family members, as well as gifts for my mom to give her grandkids. And all those birthday parties during the year!  I was so thankful that my mom was down visiting to help me out as I did a small coupon class last night & it just happened to be during the Target toy clearance time – so I was able to shop without kids both days – thank you MOM!

The reason I show you the pictures with the items so that you can see how it really does pay to shop these huge clearance events – but also to help you look for items at your stores, if they haven’t marked toys down to 75% off yet.  And if they haven’t, you’re lucky because you’ll know all sorts of things to look for!

For a linkup of all the different items that people are finding at their stores, head over to Thrifty & Thriving & you can link up your deals there if you have a blog.  And check out her amazing deals, too – she found a ton of stuff that I never even saw at our stores! She is definitely the queen of Target clearance sales – she knows her stuff!

And send me your pictures, if you found some great deals at your Target store – you could send the details of what you paid for the items or just a total amount & how much you saved!

Good morning! I just checked some of the coupon forums & also the Thrifty NW Mom Facebook page. It looks like some stores will be starting the 75% off clearance today although other stores could be starting tomorrow, depending on their schedule for marking toy clearance!

A big thank you to Facebook Fan Sarah has let us know that her Target store in New York has their toy clearance at 75% off today.  So, it’s definitely worth checking today but don’t worry if your  store hasn’t been marked down yet . And remember Christy’s tips for shopping Target toy clearance - items could be marked down throughout the day, too.

Don’t forget to check in here to let us know if your Target toy clearance is marked at 75% off! Let us know the location of your store! And keep checking the Thrifty NW Mom Facebook fan page, too, for updates from readers!

Thanks Queen Bee Coupons!

Old Navy is having a “secret” sale on Cami shirts this Thursday July 29th – Saturday July 31st.  You can buy layering camis for just $2 with a limit of 5 per customer (regularly $8.50).  You’ll need to bring along this printable coupon for $2 camis or just say “Cami 4 Me” to receive the discount (if I were you, I’d print off the coupon just to make sure it works at your local store).

The great thing about this sale is that it shouldn’t be as crazy as their 1 day deals since it’s spread out over 3 days, but I’d still try to head there early in the sale to make sure they don’t run out.   I’m definitely going to head there to pick up a few of these camis myself, as it’s a great item to stock up on & use throughout the year!

Thanks The Coupon Project!
