Heads up: Hot Toys ‘R Us toy deals!

If you still need some last minute items for your Easter baskets, Toys ‘R Us is having a Doorbusters sale that starts tomorrow. Even if you don’t need anything for Easter baskets, these are still great deals and you may want to pick up a few to store in your “gift” stash.

One of the things I noticed in the ad was that the Playskool Busy Basics Lullaby Gloworm will be on sale for $4.99 (50% off).  Pair that with the $2 Playskool Gloworm printable and get it for $2.99!

They will also have Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head on sale for $3.99 (50% off).  Pair that with the $2 Mr. Potato Head printable and get it for $1.99!

You can check out the entire ad here.

If you need something for “bigger” kids, check out the deals on games.  When you spend $20 on ANY Hasbro board games, you will get a $5 Toys ‘R Us gift card.  You can “roll” the $5 gift card into the deal again, too!
