What a bust!

And I'm not talking about mine... because we all know that's disappointing! But speaking of disappointing... The post Halloween sales sucked so hard today! I came up empty and all I got out of it was crabby kids and a ticked off mom!!!!

What happened to all the 50-75% off sales I am used to? I went to Roberts-crap! Old Navy- ziltch! Walmart- junk and only 50% off a small selection. Tia Pan had 50% but no inventory. Children's Place had nothing but a princess wand. What's the deal? I swear I live for the day after sales and now I feel empty!

Don't they know I live for this sort of thing!!!!

Did you guys find any deals? I was hoping to get my kids costumes for next year!

bummer, I hate that... :( It's so unpredictable. When I have intentions on buying a lot of stuff on sale, I can never seem to find anything either!

I think the problem with living in the SL Valley is that there are all these other mommies out there trying to grab deals too! I hardly ever find anything. :(

I did notice at Roberts that they had their coupons for 50% off one Christmas item. Sorry it was such a bust! I bet you can start getting good deals on fall items now that all the winter stuff is coming out though!

i want to go today- but now you have me second-guessing the point!

Disney Store for costumes and Target for decorations. Love the "day after". I hear they're beginning to start the 50% off sales earlier to get rid of inventory faster so there might not be much left "the day after" any holiday anymore. Hope today's better.

Most of the halloween stuff went on clearance 3 weeks ago at least. And I know at Roberts, they sent out 40% off coupons for your entire purchase good for on Halloween day only so I imagine things were long gone ten minutes after they opened. As far as halloween costumes go, most were on deep sales a few weeks ago as well. Sorry!

They have a cute zebra costume on Old Navy's website for 11 dollars. I always used to try Hallmark for decorations after the hollidays. I don't think many people think to go there, but we always found good stuff there! Good luck ;o)

I would be crabby too. The only deal I found was on BabyStyle where I bought a little Octopus costume for my little guy next year! And then there were deals on candy...that is all I saw. It did kind of suck. I was hoping to get some cute decorations too...but no luck!!

My sister lives out there and she got 2 princess costumes for $4 each at Party City. I've never explored this after Halloween stuff myself- but now that I know I will try to score some Halloween decorations next year. Maybe even today...

I didn't go looking, but our walmart had everything for 75% off. But they didn't have anything really worthwhile.
