Save Money at Target: Shop The Clearance Sale Going on Right Now!

Great kids stuff not just for Valentine's Day!

I had so much fun shopping at Target yesterday that I just had to share it with all of you and to give you a heads up on the great sale going on at Target right now.

I am tired of hearing people say,”Nothing is free these days.” There really are things you can get for free. You just have to look for them and pay attention. All of the items above are items I got for free over the past two months. I will break things down for you and explain how I got each of these items for free, and hopefully, this will start you on a journey of getting free items yourself. Free Donuts at Dunkin Donuts If you are age 50 or over you qualify to join AARP. If you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen many of the free donuts I have gotten….
