Board Games for $2 - and not from a garage sale!

Ah, the holiday shopping deals have begun! I don't normally shop there, but Toys R Us has such a deal going on right now on Hasbro board games that I had to share it. Evan's preschool has a holiday toy drive for a women's shelter, and so I bought a bunch for the kids at the shelter. We did keep "Don't Spill the Beans" which Evan LOVES.



This deal is good in-store only through 11/14. Here are the details:
  • Select Hasbro/Milton Bradley games are on sale at Toys R Us for $3.99: Ants in Pants, Don't Spill the Beans, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Cootie, Don’t Break The Ice, Hi-Ho Cherry-O, Memory. There are more games on sale for $7.99 and $9.99 as well. See the full list of games on sale here.
  • Buy $25 worth of MB/Hasbro board games and you will receive a $10 TRU gift card at checkout (BTW, they activate it 6 hours after you get it, so it's good for a future purchase.) To get the gift card, I bought 7 of the $3.99 sale games.
  • Print and complete the rebate form and mail in with your original receipt. All of the games I bought were eligible for $2 rebates each. I brought the rebate form with me to the store so I knew which games were included in the rebate promotion; not all of them are.
Net with all the discounts and rebates, they ended up costing about $2 each, AND I got a $10 TRU gift card (so if you include that, the cost is about 80 cents each.)

Awesome! I have tomorrow off and was planning to start my holiday shopping. TRU is now on my list. My son AND the charity drive will benefit. Thanks for passing this along :)

Thanks for the tip, Allison - it came just in time, and I've opted to do the same for the annual holiday food & toy drive at work. ^__^
