    Tip for Saving Money

    Sometimes a themed party can be a lot of work, but I decided what kind of party I was going to do months in advance so I could keep my eye out for things when I was out and about.  You'd be amazed at how many clearance or thrift store scores you can find if you just plan ahead a bit.  I found the dinosaur bingo at our local thrift store.  I got the dinosaur cupcake kit on clearance as well as the dinosaur notebooks for their favor bags.  My son's birthday was just after Easter so I scored clearance crackle plastic eggs that worked perfect as dinosaur eggs.  Save yourself money and work by watching for things year round!
