and spider web...(this I'll get later very cheap (90% off)
I use it for Santa hair and beard, it also works well for Angel hair....

Look at things for next years costumes....

I have tons of decorations so I won't be looking for much of that....

What will you be looking for ?????????

I hadn't even thought of going shopping tomorrow (maybe because we don't celebrate Halloween in the traditional sense), but you're right - it will be a great time to go pick up some candy. I just may have to get ds up early in the morning so we can hit Target when the doors open.

This site shows a schedule of the Halloween markdowns at Target... http://www.aliendeals.com/target.htm

Happy Shopping!!!!!

Lori - I just wanted to add - I saw some bags of spiderweb on 75% off clearance at JoAnn today. I don't know what their markdown schedule is (when it will go to 90% off), but I thought I'd mention that in case you have a JoAnn store near you.

Thanks QuilterMom !!

oooh would the spider web stuff be good for like a fake snow effect? I plan on doing up our living room like a winter wonderland (instead of doing a tree with ornaments)

Other than that I plan on looking for costume peices, books, decorations..I got the CUTEST stuffed pumpkin scarecrow last year for about two bucks on the 90% off sale..

and of course candy

i already got candles(3in ones) for 60%off..didnt want to wait .they were scented (punkinm i think) wanted them for a friend. i got her a fireplace candle holder that hold 5 candles. at 1.20 each it was a good buy and i didnt want to take the chance they would run out..but i will stop by rag shop to see what is left.

I'm going to look for a costume for (oh gosh this sounds pathetic!) my dog! I want one for next year for when the little trick or treaters come to the door. (oh boy, I can't believe I posted this.....)

last year I bought costumes for $2.00 and made my nieces costume boxes for xmas. They loved them I took the halloween labels off and put them in a box I had covered in $1.00/yd fabric. I will be looking for things I can use for girls dress up and candles dks got enough candy for an army last night so I think I am okay there for awhile.

Well anyways I got 2 beautiful ceramic pumpkin cookie jars for .99 originally 11.99 LOL Love that 75% off. I got 10 candles originally 8.00 for .50, fake blood .10, I got my grandson a costume with a cd and makeup for 3.00. So all in all I think I did pretty good.
