Halloween at our House

October 28, 2009

Last year, on November first, I struck gold. My best friend and I found ourselves in retail utopia, otherwise known as Marshall’s just as the employees were marking down all of the Halloween decor. Giddy with excitement, I piled my cart full with signs and door mats and wreaths. When my first cart was overflowing, I grabbed a second. It was heaven— everything was marked down to a dollar. A dollar. No matter what the original cost, it was a buck. Can you even believe it?

To say that Jeff didn’t appreciate my finds would be the understatement of the century. He couldn’t even muster up the slightest bit of enthusiasm, so I offer them here for your viewing pleasure. {For the record, this is not a paid or endorsed post, blah, blah, blah. I just love me a good deal.}

You better believe that I will be first in line the day after Halloween this year. And next year? Will be over the top.

Eat, Drink and be SCARY! SO so SO perfect. Can not even stand the perfect-ness : )

How could anyone not be excited about that? I am going to marshalls too for those good deals! I love a bargain! I won’t even tell you how RIDICULOUSLY expensive Kaishons costume was. Be still my heart…

I’ve hit up all the stores this week for decorations, TJ Maxx, Michael’s, Target, and Joann’s. I have quite the collection of orange goodness now.
