Birthday present shopping- my good deal - frugal boy
Buddy asked for a transformer for his birthday and named a few he wanted. He said they were about $11.
I looked at Walmart and couldn't find them.. So I looked on Amazon. The ones he asked for were listed between $50 and $70.
That was a noway are you getting that for your birthday that price.
Next time I was a Walmart I decided to go look at the Christmas clearance even though I didn't really need and Christmas stuff. I found out they had toys on clearance in there.
In fact just the one Buddy wanted and it was $11 originally $22.
Apparently, my son had been window shopping for birthday present ideas in the clearance section. Smart boy."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS
