Fuggs and the Folks that Love Them

As a super thrifty shopper, I like to have cute boots, but I am not willing to pay "Ugg prices" for them.  Instead, I am willing to pay "Fugg prices" for boots. If you do not know what Fuggs are, they are fake Uggs.

If you are in the market to buy some fake Uggs, I highly recommend checking out what Target has to offer.  Their Xhilaration boots are just as good as Uggs, but only about $35.  Wow, that is over $100 less than Uggs.  Sure the fur inside might be fake, but A) you can't tell, and B) who wants to wear real fur anyway?

Target boots stand up to the elements the same way expensive boots do.  You can walk through rain, snow, and slush.  Xhilaration boots are not only durable, but also warm, comfortable, and attractive.  So what are you doing just sitting there?  Go buy yourself the best Fuggs in town!

Autumn Decorations at Target

Fall is swiftly coming and some of us are happy to embrace it.  What better way to celebrate autumn than decorating your home for it?  It might seem costly to decorate for the fall, but a few simple decorations can add a lot of warmth and an autumn feel to your home.

Right now, Target has a number of fall decorations in the dollar section.  Many items are $1, but some are $2.50.  You pick through an assortment of autumn decorations, such as owls, scarecrows, pumpkins, and other fall related items.  You can also choose from Halloween decorations like glitter jack-o-latterns, ghost, and ghoul items.  There are even Halloween pens and pencils.

If you are interested in spending a bit more money for nicer items, Target is fully stocked with other autumn decorations, Halloween items, and even some Thanksgiving supplies.  Some of those items are on sale already, so you can start to buy now!  Get ready for the fall and make you home look beautiful.

Laptop for $249.99 at Target

If you need a new laptop, you are probably not going to find a better deal than the one at Target this week.  Starting today, Sunday August 5th, a Gateway laptop that is regularly priced at $379.99 is now only $249.99.  Obviously, this is an exceptional deal.

Apparently, the Target near me received so many phone calls, the workers expected a small mob to show up on Sunday.  I happened to be in the store on Saturday night looking at the sad two laptops sitting in the case.  I made an important decision on Sunday morning.  Ordering online is a way better idea than getting in a fist fight over the only two Gateway laptops sitting in a display case.

So if you need a new laptop, you can visit your local Target to see if they have any in stock.  Chances are, they don't.  In this situation, Target is not issuing rainchecks or substitutions.  I feel like the best bargain of all is staying home and ordering the laptop online.  Sometimes it is worth paying the shipping cost instead of being trampled at 8 AM on a Sunday morning to fight over a laptop.

Target Electronic Deals for December 11 - 17, 2011

Ah, Christmas is coming!  You can smell the lovely scents of gingerbread, pine, and desperation in the air.  Retailers are desperate to get your business.  Shoppers are desperate to save money.  Let the sales begin!

Although it seems as if Walmart was bringing in the most customers and desperation this holiday season with their Black Friday sales, never count Target out of the competition.  Target is going to have some amazing sales on electronics this week.

One incredible deal I would love to take advantage of if I were allowed to spend money on myself, is a Philips portable DVD player for just $42.  I have several items in my home from Philips and they are a great brand.  The DVD player regularly sells for $85.99, so $42 is an amazing deal.  Just yesterday, my electric was out for hours.  I sure wished I had a portable DVD player that ran on batteries yesterday!

Another super deal I wish I could have is a Compaq laptop for $233!  The regular price is $379.99, so once again, this is an incredible deal.  It even has a DVD burner!  Oh, how I want that laptop!  Target, why do you tempt me so?

So if you are in the market for a DVD player or laptop, looks like Target is the place to go this week.  For me, I will just sit and dream.

Shop for Your Home Now

As I've said before, now is the time of year to do some shopping for your home.  If you need a cheap vacuum, now is the time.  If you need a new comforter, run out to your closest Walmart or Target.  Do you need an area rug?  This is the time!

I say this because it is "back to college" season at the stores.  When students go away to college, they need plenty of items.  This is even for returning college students since every dorm and apartment is different.  Stores use this opportunity to cash in.  Most parents want their sons and daughters to be comfortable in college, and they are willing to buy plenty for them.  College students also usually work the whole summer so they can buy what they need for the dorm.  This is perfect for stores suffering in this economy.

On sale at Target this week are vacuums, comforters, a futon, lamps, office chairs, shelves, storage containers, a cookware set, blenders, a microwave, a long mirror priced at only $4, a mini-fridge, and blankets.  Basically, they are selling items for the dorm at a dirt cheap price.  These items work equally as well in your home.  Also, the colors are brighter and trendier since it is designed for college students.  So keep an eye out for your Target sales paper this week and start shopping!
