Great Deal on Wii Games

I absolutely love this time of the year because I'm able to get a great jump start on Christmas shopping! I was able to get 3 Wii games ($14.99 ea. reg priced) for $19.98 this morning at Target! That's less than $7 per game. This week when you buy 2 Wii games (priced between $14.99-$49.99) you get one FREE (equal or lesser value). To make this deal even "sweeter", Target has released a $10 off 2 Wii or DS games coupon.

Here's the scenario:

Buy 2 Wii Games (priced between $14.99-$49.99)

When you buy 2 Wii games you get 1 FREE (equal or lesser value)

Use a $10 off Target coupon when you buy 2 Wii games found here

FP:$19.98-$89.98 for 3 games

Its October!

I can't believe its October already! Fall is such a wonderful time of the year. I love to see the leaves change and feel the crisp of the fall air. Plus its a busy time of the year for me and my family. Football season (my husband's 2nd love!), school & cheer competitions for my daughter and lots of soccer for my little boy! Its also my mother's birthday month (she taught me everything there is to know about finding the right deals!) Before you know it the holidays will be here so I try my best to take it all in. The deals and bargains will really begin to kick in high gear...I can't wait!

I'll be away from my blog for most of the weekend. I'm coordinating a wedding on Saturday for a friend (congrats Sherry!) Therefore, I decided to have a little giveaway while I'm away! On Monday, October 12 @ 10 am (EST) I'll pick a name using http://www.random.org/ and one lucky reader will receive a $5 gift card to CVS or Target...your choice! To register, leave me a comment on why you like or love this time of the year. Also, if you're not a follower...please join below!

Have a great weekend and Happy Fall!
