Clearance shopping at Target
Amy and I are among the most frugal (or is it "froogle"?) people on the planet. We usually have most of Christmas presents purchased by the end of the summer and we never pay full price. So, as you can imagine, the 75% off after-Christmas markdowns at Target are like a religious pilgrimage for us.

Last night, I went out to pick up a cheap printer for the computers upstairs (my current Canon multifunction is kind of buggy as a network printer). I was able to pick up a Canon IP2000 photo printer, which is a solid, budget-priced printer according to CNET, for $29 (marked down from $80). They also had all of their photo paper on sale for 50% off, so I got 100 4x6s for $12.

While I was getting my 3 items, Amy and Mira, who had split from the group, had managed to fill an entire shopping cart (past the top) with 75% off merchandise. Because some of it may end up as your Christmas present next year, I will refrain from listing all of the items. However, I will say that she got over $400 worth of stuff for around $100.
