Sometimes -- if I am able to anticipate the need. Like last week I bought a table & chair set at Target for 75% off. I don't need it *yet*, but DH is finishing a room in the basement for me and this table & chair set will be perfect for that room. I also buy some toys ahead for the many birthday parties my boys get invited too. I try not to buy too many, and only things I think my kids friends will like. Whatever is left over at the end of the year gets donated to a charity (like Toys for Tots or an Angel Tree) at Christmas time.

I've been a lot more limited in what I buy lately because even if it's a great price, we just don't need it.
