Every year I somehow forget until I walk into a store in late January, that late January is a bad time to go shopping. The store shelves are all picked over and somewhat empty after Christmas, the new shipments haven't really come in yet. Each year I lament that I didn't remember to get Jet's birthday presents at the same time I get his Christmas presents--when the shelves are packed and everything is on sale. Or at least that I wasn't smart enough to go right after Christmas to get a few things for him on post-Christmas clearance. By the end of January, all of the good stuff is long gone. I was commenting to Niles about this as we walked into Target a week or so ago--"Why can't I ever remember how dismal it is to go shopping in late January?!"
Then we turned a corner in the toy section and hit gold:
This fun voice command quarterback game for $8.50 (originally $32)
And this 14-in-1 game table for $32 (originally $130). This thing has foosball, air hockey, pool, ping pong, bowling, soccer, basketball, etc. etc. Yahoo!
Of course, Niles was rethinking how great a deal it was as he spent hours putting it together (I helped a little). But I think after our family home evening foosball tournament and pool match last night, he decided it was a good deal after all!
