Summer is in full swing at Target dollar, they are full of cute picnic items!  I am still irritated they went from $1, to $2.50, and now they’re at $3. I don’t think the quality has improved enough to be $3 though!  Anyway, in the dollar section they had red checker paper hot dog holders, BBQ sticks for roasting over the fire, plastic cups and lots more.
They also had a section just for July 4th items-patriotic napkins, hats, headbands, bowls and a few other  items.  I hope they add to it! These are pet water bottles-they have a fold out little bowl so you can transport water for your pet.  I have one from PetsMart but bought one of these guys to see how they held up.  Totally worth a $1.   Some fun summer toys for the kids… a few things you could take to the pool or beach and not get mad when they lose them!  They also had these little pails that would be adorable for just about anything.  Seriously.    These last couple items seem to be a staple-random storage containers, stickers, stationary.  Little things they hope you buy 1 or 2 of for your kids every time you go in  I did notice this time that they had a GREAT selection of Crayola products.  Stickers, coloring books and more.  I like seeing the name brand stuff!  These were my favorites.  They’re little ceramic bowls that are made for a summer party dinner!  They have labels like “Relish” ”Limes” ”Mustard” and other condiments inside.  I wanted to get one of each. To complete your picnic they have those glass things you put drinks in.  I worked in restaurants for years and am spacing what they’re called! It must be too early or time for a nap??   The yellow things are plastic bowls for your corn!  How cute are those?

Did you catch anything similar in your Target Dollar?

I ran into Target last night with the intention of only buying some needed hangers. We won’t talk about the stuff I left with. BUt, I will say that Target is NOT pulling a fast one on me. Before Christmas their prices were $1 and $2.50. Now, I didn’t always buy the $2.50 items, but sometimes I thought they were worth it. When CHristmas rolled around they had $1, $2.50 and $3 items. Now they seem to have skipped the $2.50 and gone straight to $3! There were SO many cute items that I was in love with-but then I would see they were $3 and I was slightly irritated. Anyway, you can find a lot of GOOD Easter stuff in the Target dollar section!

Lots of little toys, mostly summer themed.. butterfly nets, buckets, etc.

Fake money. This is always fun for kids who like to play kitchen and store.

Cuuuute ribbon  Always handy to have some of this on hand.  YOu can do so much with it. 

I can’t tell a lie-I might be buying these darling, darling little salt and pepper shakers. How cute are they?  $3 though? Ugh.  Egg holders, baskets, Easter cards, note pads…  Absolutely the most adorable wire baskets ever.  This just might have to be my sons Easter basket this year. These are eggs decorated with paper flowers.  They’re very pretty, but seriously Target?  $3? This is hard to tell what they are-but they’re little nests. Very cute ones I might add. The St Patty’s day stuff is slowly disappearing, if you need something, go grab it now.   Easter is taking over.  They have towels, leprechaun hats, cups, and some other random decor.

Cute bunny ears and flower head bands… they had some Easter themed ties and socks. Ok-I might splurge for these sequin bunny rabbits.  I know last year I bought some good stuff for 90% off at Hobby Lobby but I don’t actually recall WHAT I bought. I have to find the box before I spend anything on these guys though. Its seems like I bought a rabbit similar to this though. And of course, more junk stuff to put in an Easter basket.  My parents didn’t really do Easter baskets for us growing up.  We just went on an egg hunt and had some candy.

What do y’all do for Easter?
