I {heart} Target Clearance


Every time to go to Target (or really, any retail store) my favorite places to browse are the back end stands. You know, those shelves on the back side of the shelves? :)  They always have the best clearance there.

On a recent Target adventure, I noticed a ton of white frames. I immediately was super excited! They would go perfect in my scrapbook room! However, upon looking more closely, they were scuffed up pretty bad. I stood there a moment, and then walked away.

Fast forward a couple Target stops later.

The frames were still there. $1.25 for a 4x6, and $1.49 for an 8x10! I couldn't pass it up this time. I stacked a bunch in the cart, and then made a bee line to the cleaning supplies. I picked up a box of Magic Erasers, and went home.

The erasers worked like a charm. Amazing.



I have already started filling them with photos and art! :)

  1. And, heck, if it hadn't worked with the Magic Eraser, you could have always spray painted them!

  2. Woo hoo!!! Nice score. All those cheap cleaned up frames will look amazing!!! Jealous!

    Thanks for your sweet words about our dog, Guinness. Hearing everone's words of encouragement and sympathy is really helpful.

    I hope you're having a happy President's Day!

  4. I saw these for cheap as well, but never thought of using a magic eraser. Next time!
