How buying Christmas clearance in 2010 paid off in 2011

Last year I stopped by

ew Year's Eve and snagged some great deals on treats.

Walmart had marked all of these items down to a quarter.  It was way ahead of regular marked down schedules after Christmas, they were basically 75 percent off regular price.

So I paid $1.25 for all of the items in the picture.

Why am I telling you about this?

Because I received a note from my daughter's teacher that she is suppose to bring a treat for each kid in her class next week.  Something for the girls and something different for the boys.

They will put it in a giant stocking for each kid.

Normally you would have to run out and buy something at full price.  Normally.  But since you're in the frugal mindset this year, hopefully you've been stocking up on clearance holiday treats throughout the year to meet treat bag requests.

What clearance item did you purchase last year that's saving you money this year?
