Thursdays at the Mall... 1/5 edition

Finally, some resemblance of a calm Christiana Mall.  Although it was calm, I didn't really get into too much shopping except for a few deals at Target that I'll quickly tell you about.

A few notes, no overage for the Mac and Cheese and the Activia at the Christiana Mall was a few cents more.  Still a great deal.  Check the expiration dates though, the first pack I picked up had an expiration date from December - eww.  I also got a pound of Beef Stew Meet for only $1.44.  Look for the red stickers for great deals on meat that needs to bed used immediately or frozen. 

Also, I know most people have New Years Resolutions to get in shape/lose weight, etc... I contacted the Christiana Mall to find out if they had measured the walking distance of the mall yet, and great news.... One complete lap, including all corridors is 1 mile!  Mall walkers can come to the mall as early as 8am.

Happy Shopping!!!

Thursdays at the Mall... 12/29 edition

Wow, so it has been quite some time since I've posted about my mall trips.  It wasn't because I wasn't going, because I was (up until last week), Lady G loves her Story Time at Barnes and Nobles... I just didn't think to get it done.... So now that Christmas is over and some of the craziness is done, hopefully I can help someone out who is going to the Mall.

My friend Allison told me that the Mall was packed on Wednesday and that she only braved Target, but I had a few returns to do and thought it might be better today.  As soon as I pulled up to the light that over looks the mall (where the crazy construction never ends) I immediately was second guessing myself.  The parking lot was crazy crowded and people were everywhere. I guess it doesn't help that school is out as well.  I convinced myself to drive around to Target and at least take a look, at this point, Lady G was super excited about going to the playground and I didn't want to let her down :(.  Luck was on my side.  I found a relatively close parking spot at Target, got all of my things in the stroller... convinced Lady G that if she let me do some quick returns (no shopping) and I gave her some M & M's to keep her busy she could go play. It worked....

• No Line at Target Customer Service
• Stopped in Michael Kor's to look for something for my mother (trust me, not in my $30 budget)
• Really short line at Ann Taylor
• Really short line at Macy's

30 minutes and a trip to the potty later, G is at the playground which had also settled down since our first passing.  Anyways, here are somethings I thought I'd pass along:

• Non-refrigerated Meats and Cheeses (my friend always says this) at Hickory Farms were 75% off.  Lots of people waiting in line for their meat sticks...
• Tomorrow, Victoria Secrets is giving away a free pair of panties with any purchase.  Click here for their facebook page, more information and coupon - Thanks, Hip2Save
• Target had their Christmas Items marked down to 50%.  I was hoping for 75%, maybe by the weekend. 
• Don't forget if you haven't picked up your free piece of chocolate from Godiva this month, you only have 2 more days...
• The Christiana Mall website has tons of info and coupons as well... click here for more information. (Build a Bear, Aeropostale, The Body Shop, etc)
• If you got a Mall Gift Card for the holidays, be sure to go here and see if you won an instant prize.

OK, that's all for now... enough rambling... happy Thursday!

Elf Workshop at the Christiana Mall tomorrow

Starting tomorrow and for the next 3 Tuesdays, the Christiana Mall is having an ELF-ACADEMY.  It is for kids 6 and under and after completing the tasks (crafts, stations, songs) your child will become a certified Elf. 

Sounds really interesting, cute and fun.  Check out this link for more information.
