fairydustcrissy Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Lil Bratz sleeping bag, orig 24.99, paid 6.24. I bought one in Melbourne , FL, then returned home, bought one here in GA for the same price. In GA though, it was still marked 17.48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 But did it scan $6.24? Or did you show them the receipt from the FL store and they matched it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just price checked it since i knew the other rang up at that price, hoping this one did as well. It did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 It scanned 6.24. I just price checked it since i knew the other rang up at that price, hoping this one did as well. It did!Excellent! This is why the most important thing to learn from the tutorial I wrote (I think of it has the Newbie Guide) is to scan everything you have an interest it. Even if there is no sign that it had even a 15% off markdown. You may wind up being pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustcrissy Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 the best place to look is the endcaps....the ends of the aisles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the itemns actually have the UPC code that scans listed next to the item. With this list, even if the item isn't on the endcap, you can check and see if it's somewhere in the store and then scan it to see if it has been marked down. and any items with the UPC, you can see if they're marked down in your store before even seeing if the item is on the shelves. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Oh, I had what I hope is good news on another forum today. The Target team member who said seasonal clearance was not going to follow the holiday/seasonal clearance schedule posted in the Newibe Guide above qualified his statement today. He said about 30% of teh Targets will be testing the new method of clearancing the merchandise based on sales, but that the other stores should stick to the schedule posted above. So... The schedule says: Traditional Holiday clearance schedule50% off day after holiday for three days75% off fourth day after holiday for three days90% off seventh day after holiday for 1-2 days. Other than Chr-stmas this is the schedule used for holiday clearance, including Valentine's Day, Easter, Summerville, and Halloween, for at least the last two years So for the Halloween merchandise that would translate to: November 1 - 3 = 50% offNovember 4 - 6 = 75% offNovember 7 (and maybe the 8th) = 90% off :::sincerely hoping my Target is not one of the test Targets::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I was at Family Dollar and they had the new Bratz Dolls out. They were on sale for $8 which is a super price, but even better was when I went to the register, they scanned $7. These were the set in their leather outfits. Bought all of the girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmcca Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Well one of the targets in LI had the halloween stuff 75% off. It was ringing up 50% off a thte register and the cashiers were supposed to take the additional 50% off of that. Of couse mine didnt and when i mentioned it to her she only took off an additional 25%. Got it fixed at coustomer service. I was able to get one of those $30 lighted twig pumkins for $7.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Pam Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Nice mjmcca! I didn't even try to have the Halloween stuff adjusted, as I figure it most likely will go 75% off tomorrow. However, the Dollar Spot was ringing up 75% off today on the line of old merchandise and I stocked up on the non-alkaline heavy duty Eveready batteries. 2-packs of Cs, D's, and 9 volts, and 4-packs of AAs and AAA's were 25 cents each.

amyj0_99 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yeah, you couldn't go wrong at the dollar spot. Batteries for .25, Gel Pens for .25, Stencils for .25, Potholders, lots of good stuff....... and mine had their halloween 75%. I picked up three disney princess costumes for dressup for my daughter for christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyj0_99 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 LOL... that is so funny because they are oven mitts...... i picked up two that look like pigs and my 4 yr old loved it and wanted to use them as puppets. she told her daddy he had to make a stage for her......

The price was marked 75% off on the shelves but was not ringing that way at the register. When i went to customer service i got back almost $5 thasts nothing to sneeze at so i am glad that i did.

Gumball Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I was in Target yesterday and bought out the skeins of yarn they had down to 25 cents. Also bought the rest of the knitting needles. :) They also had the horror movies down to 25 cents in the Dollar Spot stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topoly Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 This is great, I've been a member for two days and have found a place for my Target addiction! Thanks for the heads up on the dollar spot! Now here's a tip for you: I used to live in Round Rock,TX (moved to League City in May) and the Target there marks down most of their toys 50% off on CHRISTMAS EVE! Typically in the afternoon is when it takes place. I don't know if this is true for other Targets but its worth watching to see if it happens. My son likes those ridiculously expensive Power Ranger toys and I have gotten really good deals on them on Christmas Eve. Renee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Pam Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 My Target's 90% off Halloween clearance was pretty lame, but I did find the Fuji disposable cameras for 74 cents with the $1.00 coupon inside. I bought 12, and used the $3.00 they 'paid' me to buy them to buy a bag of Milky Way Midnight minis. Mmmm... Fuji camera UPC 07410121855 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I didn't even see any of those cameras at the store here. I don't think that any even made it to the clearance. I did get some of those cheesy horror movies at the Dollar Spot for a quarter tho. They're so bad they're funny. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I was in Target the other day and for some reason they were selling their off brand of drink boxes (10 packs) for .99. I bought 12 of them. I have two kids in school and both pack a lunch daily. I got all the lemonades (8) and 4 fruit punches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posters have found them in the infants department, some by the cash register. I found them with all the other disposable cameras in Electronics. Here's a picture of the packaging on an older package. As you can see, there's no Halloween markings at all. http://www.thetwistergroup.com/store/image.php?imagefile=DBL%3C%3EQUICKSNAP-SF800.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
