My Harrowing Trip to Target

This morning I saw this post about the sale priced LeapFrog Tag Reader Systems on hip2save. I immediately brushed my teeth and flew like a bat out of hell to Target.

Now let me explain why going to Target is such a big deal....

I hate the Target that is closest to me. The cashiers are rude, the people are rude, i have to drive through crazy city traffic to get there, and the shopping center it is in is a mess. Today was no different.

So as i drive I am praying that there be one of these things there. My niece's 4th birthday is coming up and this is the perfect thing.

I get there and I all but jog to the toy section (because so many other people must know of this awesome-ness...lol) and there are not any of the ones on sale. I almost cried.

So here I am standing in front of the leapfrog display, hating all the new full priced boxes and then see something weird. The last box on the shelf looks different. It is hidden behind all the full priced ones, but as I pull it up I see that it is in fact...duh duh duh...DIFFERENT!

So I run to the price check, hate all the children who don't understand lines and cut in front of me, and then FINALLY see that it is in fact what I wanted! The $12.48 LeapFrog Tag Reader System. And yes friends, I did have a coupon...a $10 off coupon!

I also bought a full priced book in my glee of getting the $2.49 reader. I got her a Disney Ariel book at $15.34, but hey, it is sill an amazing savings. For the book and reader it cost me $18.99. The new ones that come with the Cat in the Hat book are $49.99 (or $39.99) after the coupon, so I saved at least $21, and I got to pick out a book she would like more.

All in all not a bad trip in my mind :)
