Hey NaturePixie, Yeppers it is, but what can you do? I went last year often so I did end up being there several times when they had sales on, but thats right before Halloween when they are trying to sell it out. Well, I'll just do the best I can, think positive and positive things will happen!
Last year I scored a huge deal there. Get this. I went to see what was left after Halloween and you know those feathered crows? Well, I took like 2 or 3 up to the till to buy, I think they were on sale for like 40% off or something like that? Anyways, the girl scanned them and they came up 1 cent, yes "1 freakin cent" I said, WHAT!!! Are you sure about that? so she scanned the rest I was buying and they also scanned up for 1 cent, sooooo I said, excuse me but would it be alright if I went back and got the rest of them, she said, oh sure, so I ran my little butt back to the Isle and scooped up the rest of them.
Well, the next time I went there, she said to me. Guess what, it turned out that the computer was messed up and they were actually only 40% off, so you really scored an awesome deal, I said, Yeppers I did!! Thank-You MR.Till
Well I'm hoping to go this coming Thursday or Friday, but we'll see how it goes, I can't wait to go though.

Yes I saw those crows too - awefully expensive for a stuffed bird. They will carry that stuff at big lots for $2.99.
I cant wait to get me some more halloween goodies.

I agree with Hooch - look around through the posts and I bet you will find a ton of ideas for this year. Do you have a theme yet?

So I checked out Michael's and they have some really cool new Lemax spooky town houses. Looks like they are trying to build on the pirate theme this year, which is cool. I wanted to just scoop them all up!!

I think one of the more creative was the carousel. It will be sooooo hard to resist this year!!

Witchy thanks for the alert. I will have to go to garden ridge when i get some extra cash to spend on halloween goodies. I think I need to start a halloween savings account - you know they have them for christmas - so why not halloween.
