Toys R Us shopping trip

So...tonight at almost 9:00 my mom and I decided we needed to go to Toys R Us...  NOW.  So we did.  And I'm glad we did!  We went for the B1G1 card game and B1G2 Crayola markers/crayons/pencils deals.  Here's what I got:

Crayola markers/crayons/pencils...buy one, get two free (!!!)
6 - 8pk Crayola crayons (was $2.99 each) for $5.98 ($.99 each)
3 - 8pk Crayola classic colormarkers (was $2.99 each) for $2.99 (.99 each)
3 - 24ct Crayola colored pencils (was $4.69 each) for $4.69 ($1.56 each)

Decks of cards...buy one, get one free
3 - Phase 10 (was $5.99 each)

1 - Pictureka (was $4.19)

1 - Scrabble Slam (was $5.99)
1 - Monopoly Deal (was $5.99)
2 - Uno (was $6.99 each)
     all for $24.06 ($3.00 each)

5 "educational" books - alphabet, numbers, erase/reuse, hidden picture, etc for $18.05 (50% off)

3 - Melissa and Doug pieces...buy two, get the third free
     2 - magnetic dress up (was $12.99 each)
     1 - pattern blocks and boards (was $17.99)
     all for $30.98 ($10.33 each)

1 - Whac-a-Mole (was $24.98) for $9.98

All of these items are gifts (for my niece and nephew for Christmas, LeeAnn's best friend for her birthday coming up in a couple weeks, for LeeAnn (maybe saving for another holiday) and for the little girls our Girl Scout troop is supporting this Christmas). 

All said - I spent $103.61 (and I about fell over because I was like HOLY CRAP I spent a ton of money!) but I saved $74.07 (and actually, I saved about $10 more than that because the Whac-A-Mole was marked down to $14.98 so it only shows a $5 savings on it on my receipt).  So I saved about 60% on my purchases...  Not too shabby in my opinion.
