Deal of the Day: More Target Dollar Spot Finds

Call me a geek. Go ahead. I know it's true. Why? Because I love these dollar aisle flashcards and workbooks. My kids love the Space cards box I got them and they also have U.S. Presidents and Rhyming Words thanks to their thoughtful auntie. Fun enough for a party favor or road trip treat but informational and educational, too! Right now you can buy Crayola crayons for $.25 so grab a few boxes and a few books. You can pair a pack of cards and book for a $2.25 treat for a new big sister or brother or anyone who needs a little cheap and cheerful present! Geeky? Or just plain smart?

Deal of the Day: $1 Note cards from the Dollar Spot

Need a hostess gift? A stocking stuffer? A little something for your child's teacher? Check out these adorable note cards from the Dollar Spot at Target. I remove the crinkly overwrap and drop them in a cute gift bag with tissue. Instant gift.

Cheap and Cheerful wants to know: What are your go-to "gifts" for under $3?

Retail Therapy: Maptote

Looking for a little something to splurge on? It's not your $.99 Trader Joe's resuable bag (which I happen to love!) but it might make you feel right at home.

Check it.
