After Halloween Sale

I just love after holiday clearance sales! I was able to pick up a couple of things for Coco's birthday party & next year's Witches Tea.

Coco is going to celebrate his 9th birthday with a Mad Scientist Party. I'm planning lots of fun experiments for Coco and 8 of his friends. I was so excited to find these test tubes filled with slime and specimens at Walgreens. They were only 24¢ each and will make great goody bag fillers.
Here's another Mad Scientist goody bag filler I found - Candy specimen slides. I got these at Target for 44¢ each and I plan on giving one slide per bag. Coco's party isn't until February, but the expiration date on the candy isn't until July 2009.

Here are a couple of things for next year's Witches Tea Party. I found these spooky goblets at Walgreens for 25¢ each & grabbed all 16 of them! They are going to look so good on the table next year!
I have been looking at these brooms since they came out, but just couldn't stomach paying $2.50 each for them. Today I got them at 75% at WalMart - only 63¢ each! I'm thinking I'll either use them for the invitations or as a party favor (Karyn & I have a whole year to think about it!)

I also picked up a few decorations like a 4 foot black lighted Halloween tree & a witch inflatable. Did I mention that I love clearance sales??!!

Good tip about checking the expiration dates on perishables like candy!
