Saving money on Valentine Parties at school

Today I will helping at my daughter's Kindergarten Valentine Party! I am in charge of drinks, snack, goodie bags, paper products and crafts for 31 kids. As a bargain shopping Momma, I saved money by buying Valentine Goodie bags and the stuff to go in them last year on clearance.  I even hit Michaels this year and got our craft projects for $.09 each. 

So a helpful tip, next week hit Target, CVS, Walmart, etc and you can pick up trinkets, pencils, stickers, goodie bags, etc. on clearance.   Since my daughter started school, I have been picking up items after each holiday for the next years party!  Paper products, bags, pencils, stickers don't go bad!  Remember to hit the craft area this year too, just in case you are in charge of crafts next year too.

Save on Valentine cards, by using any of the card deals that I have prev. posted.  At this point you won't have time to order and receive by next week, so plan early and in January start watching for photo deals and order then.
