Easter is soon approaching, and if you're like me, you've been procrstinating on getting items for your kids' Easter baskets. I thought I'd put togehter a post of some great deals to help you save money while putting together an Easter basket that is sure to impress the Easter Bunny, himself! I'll update the candy and toy match-ups on Sunday with next weeks deals... The Basket... First, you'll need a basket. You can find great options at the dollar stores around town if you're on a budget. For something a little fancier, take a look at these:

These baskets come in different animals (pink/blue bunny, frog, bubble bee, lamb, chick, etc.)and are personalized for a total cost of $14.00.
