Lego Score

On a few of the many coupon blogs I follow, I found the Walmart deal on Duplo Legos before Christmas. Hubs and the boys are Lego Maniacs. Legos are one toy that does not lose much value and go for quite a bit on Ebay. I've found them at yard sales really cheap and have even scored a Lego table.

So the Walmart deal was the 71 piece tub for $29.99, which is regular price, but it came with a $20 Walmart gift card so it was like getting the tub for only $10. This was one of Baby Jaws' gifts and we used the other $20 to buy Big Brother some Legos too. This was a great deal on something we would have bought anyway.
Fast forward to this past weekend when Hubs took all four kids to Bass Pro. I told him to just drop me off at the thrift store and to have fun. Muhahahaha! I walked the aisles finding a couple of books for the boys. I had went through the entire store and called Hubs to tell him I was ready to go. While I was waiting for him to come back to pick me up, I walked back through a couple aisles. I looked up and saw the exact big green tub of Duplos we had just bought for Christmas. I picked it up and found the price $4.98. That was a great deal for a $30 tub of Legos. I wasn't sure if it had ALL 71 pieces, but it was pretty full. I counted them on the way home and all 71 pieces were there. I was a little shocked, but very happy.
Now Baby Jaws has 142 new pieces of Legos plus the bazillion pieces he already had.
