I admit it I can be a procrastinator. With 4 children and homeschooling life gets hectic. I realized that I hadn’t gotten my kids anything for Easter yet so I went to Kmart to do my one stop Easter shop!
Prior to going I cruised their curricular. I realized I signed up on line for their Shop Your Way Rewards program as well so I went through my coupons and matched up all I could for the best pricing for Easter shopping.
Then I was headed to Kmart, when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised at the very nice selection of Easter items they had available.
One of the great deals I got was Peepsters are on sale buy 2 get one free, I had a coupon buy 2 get one free so I only had to pay .99 for all 3!
While my 3 little ones were in the shopping cart my 6 year old and I scoured the clearance ends caps in the toy department, looking for a few small things for my other children’s Easter baskets.
We typically keep the kids Easter baskets small for 2 reasons, 1 is that I do not want to take our focus off Jesus. The real meaning of what Easter is all about and 2 we have a large family and each of my children get alot 4 Easter baskets from other family members. It can be overwhelming. So I add a few fun things in their baskets but always adding either a book or something relating to Jesus.
Some of the items I grabbed for their baskets:
Cars on sale for .99 each
The Story of Easter $3.95
Superhero toy clearance to $1.75
Mega Bloks toy clearance to $2.99
Mega Bloks toy clearance to $2.99
Bunny stuffed animal $on sale from $4.99 to $3.99
Ball toy tosser $2.99
Lalaloopsy doll set on sale from $7.99 to $5.00
The Easter Story book $3.95
Princess lip gloss on clearance for .30
Lalaloopsy doll set on sale from $7.99 to $5.00
The Easter Story book $3.95
Princess lip gloss on clearance for .30
Then we headed for the grocery items, were I was thrilled to find a 50% off managers special shelf! At times I feel like our kids are constantly going through a growth spurt so I stocked up and several grocery foods.
Then it was time to check out.
Checking out got a bit hectic. I had quite a bit of items and 4 grumpy children. We had been in the store for over an hour because I was enjoyed looking at all the goodies. There was a bit of trouble at the register with my coupons, the cashier had a problem taking them off but once he did I was pleased when he reached over and handed me a $5.00 Kmart gift card! Apparently since I have Shop Your Way Rewards and spending over $50.00 I got a gift card!
Once I got home I put my kids Easter goodies together, the 1st tip I want to share is that this year I did not buy Easter baskets. With 4 children that gets pricey. They range from $4.99 and up so I purchased gift bags that were $1.49 each!
The Cars toy and Peeps is for my 15 month old baby. After coupons, clearance items, sale items, Save Your Way Rewards I spent $33.38 for 4 kids for Easter!
If you haven’t done your Easter shopping yet I highly recommend heading to Kmart where you will find a wonderful selection for all your Easter needs! They have alot of great sales this week!
