Shopping Score (!) of the Week

Pin It

The weekly Thrifty Treasures party over at Rhoda's ended with the yard sale season, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to continue writing about finds I might come across this Fall and Winter. I don't go thrifting often these days...no need for extra *stuff*, but I can't swear off all shopping forever.

That would be crazy.

So I thought I'd share one of my finds from the week with you today. I've started picking up a few Christmas gifts here and there, and Target had a great sale this week!

My sister gave Natalie an adorable Our Generation Doll for Christmas last year. "Caitlyn" is very similar to the American Girl line, except that her accessories don't run $65 for a pair of tiny shoes. She came with an ice skating costume, ice skates, a warm up outfit, tennis shoes, iPod, a warm-up bag, medals, and more.

And Michaela Byrd loves the Caitlyn doll too. Sometimes, when Natalie is feeling extra generous, she will let Michaela Byrd sit on her bed with the Caitlyn doll.

So when I saw that Target had the Our Generation dolls on sale last week (and maybe the weekend before as well?) for just $27.00, I knew I had to get one for Michaela Byrd. For just $27.00, "Sydney Lee" came home in my trunk with all her ballet stuff, and I haven't taken her out yet for fear that my two and a half year old will see me doing it.

So you'll have to see a photo I snagged from the site and just trust me when I say that it was a great buy!

These dolls don't have quite as many accessories to choose from as the American Girls do, but they do have a good selection. The horse that goes with the equestrian doll was only $30 this week! I think of these as "starters" for moms who want to introduce their girls to dolls, but aren't ready to pay $$$ for a doll that may or may not have hair in dreadlocks by the end of the week.

{Have you found any great deals this week?}
