Smart Merchandising!



Next time you're at target and you're buying bubble bath (like we were) look around at how the whole aisle is merchandised...



The other night we went to Target to buy some bubble bath and diaper cream...since I had a few coupons, I thought we'd head over there and save some money on stuff we needed.  After looking for a few minutes I got everything I needed and as I was getting ready to leave...I see Jacob down the aisle playing w/ a 'lightning McQueen' Car!  He's been watching 'the movie cars' in the car lately...so he instantly recognized it. The car was actually filled w/ bubble bath...and Jacob did NOT want to let go of it.  Randy pointed out that it was right at eye level for him to see!  And upon further inspection, all the fun expensive bubble bath was eye level to him...and all the cheaper, boring stuff was eye level to me!  So we ended up spending the money we would have saved!  But in the end, it made Jacob so happy...it was so worth it! :)

I notice that with the candy in the isles. In some stores they have the fun candy right at their level.

Ha ha- I guess that's why we clip coupons so that we can save a little bit and be able to indulge them now and then! Jacob and Anna are so cute, we really enjoyed them the other night, they are so much fun!!
