Target clearance? Yes, please.

An afternoon at Target.  On Saturday. Alone.  Pure bliss.  Daniel went to a friend's house for the afternoon & Dan stayed home with Joel.  I needed to go for our regular list of toiletries, baby essentials, etc.  I love my kids dearly, but when I can go and walk up and down every aisle, taking my time to look at each clearance shelf, without "Mom, can I get this?  Can I have that? Pleeeease?" and stopping in the middle of the trip for a diaper change, my heart skips a beat.  Seriously.  Retail therapy at its finest, I tell you.  I gathered the items on my list first, and then anything else I threw in the cart was icing on the cake.  
Here are my finds from yesterday's trip...

 {2} gold and white cloth place mats - $2.78ea. {reg. 3.99ea}
2-cup fat separator {I will probably use as a regular measuring cup} - $2.98 {reg. 9.99}
Pair of blue commuter flats w/ tote - $3.88 {reg. 12.99}
Zoobles  - $3.88 {reg. 12.99} 
Baby pack of Q-tips - $2.18 {reg. 3.14}
10 oz. package Nestle's Dark & Mint chocolate chips - $1.28 {reg. 2.59}
 and... 
Hello Kitty Lego set - $10.98 {reg. 34.99}
Total spent: $30.74
Total I would have spent: $84.67
Total savings: $53.93
Yes!
They are having awesome clearance sales in every department.  Many items were still only 30% off...I'll keep watching until they are 70% off!  Where do you like to shop clearance sales?  What do you buy?  Share your finds :)
