target 90 percent off clearance

Target Christmas clearance was down to 90 percent off this weekend the neighbor texted me it went down yesterday, but I decided not to go since I had already went when it was 70 percent off last week and didn't need anything (we have so many Christmas decorations since I shopped the sale last Christmas) and I ended up buying a whole much of cheap candy and kind of regret it since I have been eating too much of it. However, I was shopping with a friend today and it was right next door so I went. Didn't get anything great, got socks for 50 cents (I can wear them all year around because they are gray stripped with some red and the Christmas part is on the top which you won't see with pants. I got some white tissue paper for 10 cents and that was pretty much it. I was going to buy some other stuff but put it back because I didn't really need it. I am trying to be better about not buying stuff I don't need just because it is a good deal. We are working on reducing the clutter in our house- we have cleaned out many things in the past couple of weeks.

The husband got the tool box he has been eyeing for the last like year. It was way to expensive to buy, )but told him if he got the money from one of his clients who hasn't payed (2600 dollars!) he could buy a tool box (we were thinking about 1,000 dollar couldn't justify buying a 1800 tool box. He took him to court and all that didn't show then had to file all this paperwork ect- did all the work but still hasn't been paid yet. Anyways when we were at Lowes yesterday they had one that was missing a drawer (it had been damaged) so he went to find out how much they were going to mark it down. The manager said they were going to just order a new drawer for however, he could mark it down instead he looked at the price they paid for it 1300 and something dollars and said he would let it go for 1200 dollars, my husband being the bargain shopper he is said I can't do 1200, I was trying to spend around 1,000 he looks at me and says right? And I was like if it was 1,000 no higher so the manager says if you can take it today I will give it you for 1,000. So now he has a huge tool box with a stereo inside of (he is going to order the new drawer or do without if it is too expensive). The husband was ecstatic about the purchase and did a lot of organizing of his tools materials and found 80 something dollars of stuff to bring back to Lowes we had lying around. I figure this will save us money from buying duplicate tools since he can never find what he is looking for since they are scattered all over the house, plus it made our house less cluttered and he already cleaned out the garage. Of course I still think spending 1,000 dollar on a tool box is ridiculous.
