  1. Final Clearance (green tags) started today. Ends Saturday.

    Lots of items are 75% off original prices.

    I only bought 3 long-sleeved tops for DD6 for $2.97 each (after the 15% coupon from

    the survey, they came out to $2.52 each).

     

    They also had:

     

    Womens leather boots $19.97

    Womens leather coats $$29.97 to $39.97

    Womens belts $1.97

    Womens/Juniors small purses $4.97

    Womens/Juniors dresses $9.97

    Lots of womens sleepwear separates $4.97

    Lots of mens flannel pajama type pants $2.97

     

    Be careful when they ring up items. All of my shirts came up the wrong price, but

    the cashier corrected them all.

     

    Also, 2 pack liters of shampoos and conditioners (Paul Mitchell, Biolage) are 50%

    off on Saturday. So, you end up paying $14 to $16 for both bottles.

     

    I had DD3 with me and she did not want to shop, so I did not end up buying much.

  2. I agree. There are a lot of flakes out there. Years ago, when we had a washer

    and dryer on sale, a girl and her dad came by and said they would buy it. They

    did not put any money down, but I believed them. My husband said that we

    don't need to hold it for them. I felt like I was betraying them, but guess what?

    They never came back! So, since we didn't hold it, we ended up selling them to

    the next person who came by.

     

    You should line up the other buyers, and tell the first one that you have other

    people interested. If she really wants it, she will find a way to get over to your

    place and buy it.

  3. Sorry for the late post. I went to Target on Friday and today. I found:

     

    Toddler size Dora helmet and knee pad set 75% off -- $4.98

    Callaway set of golf balls 75% off -- around $6.48

    Hello Kitty sheet sets & comforter sets- looked like 30% off --

    they also had other clearance sheet sets for kids, but I can't remember which ones.

    Looks like they are bringing in some new lines of bedding.

     

    Not much clearance going on at my store. Most of the 75% off clothes are gone.

  4. Found some Hello Kitty stickers at 75% off- which I have been waiting for, my daughter is having a Hello Kitty Party in March. Let me know if anyone sees any Hello Kitty things go cheaper. My mom got a few things when the toys were 75% off!

    My DD4 is also having a Hello Kitty party in April, so I would also appreciate any tips

    on good deals. I found 2 Hello Kitty lip gloss sets clearanced for $1.96. I didn't buy them

    because they seemed a little pricey for goody bag fillers. But it might make a nice little

    gift for your daughter.

  5. Went to Kohls today. Lots of juniors tops marked down 80% and 90%. I got:

     

    one Juniors Union Bay top 90% off for $2.49

    Derek Heart sundress 80% off $7.70

    Apt. 9 sleeveless dress $8.80

    sunglasses for $2.40 to $5.20. they rang up as Men's, but I am going to wear them.

    Heavy men's sweatshirts (Croft & Barrow brand) were marked down to $10.20

    Mens long-sleeve sueded tees and henleys $6

     

    They still had lots of toddler boys and girls long-sleeve shirts for $2.00 and $3.00.

    Toddler boys sweatpants for $3.00. Toddler girls knit pants for $2.00 or $3.00.

    Some Yankee Candle jars marked down to $12 I think.

    Soccer memo board $2

     

    Women's coats still seemed pricey at 60% off. I was only going to buy one if I got

    a great deal on one.

  6. The second Easter/Spring line is going out Monday.Markdowns at the outlet will be happening this weekend.I only know this becasue i work at one.(LOL)

    OMG! Thank you for this awesome tip! So do you think I should go back on Sunday or Monday?

    I don't want to miss out on any great deals. In the summer, I got lots of t-shirts and shorts for 0.99.

  7. I went to my local store today to use the $5 off $20 coupon. My first total was $23.95 b/4 tax and coupons. I wanted to use the $5 coupon first and then my manufacture coupons. The cashier was having difficulty scanning the coupon and called the manager. He saw my other coupons and would not allow me to use this unless my after-coupon total was over $20. He was completely rude and arrogant. He was short with the cashier and said it was like stealing to try to use both coupons on the same items. I was completely humiliated. The customer behind me was even telling him I had purchased the correct total. There were two other customers in line behind me. He finally sent them to another register without apologizing. It did not state anywhere on the coupon that the total had to be $20 after using my manufacturer coupons. After I added more items to my purchase, the coupon still would not scan. He then made the poor cashier void the transaction and redo it. In the end he had to manually enter the coupon and was very frustrated. He was abusive to the cashier as if she had done something wrong. She was so upset her hands were shaking. This manager was the head manager of the store, according to the cashier. I have sent a report to all contact departments off their website. I hope they reply. Sorry, I had to vent.

     

     

     

    Mom of Five:(

     

    Don't apologize. We've all been there. I'm sorry you had to deal with a rude manager.

    That can certainly ruin an otherwise uplifting shopping experience. There are a few stores

    and restaurants I have been to where the cashiers & waiters have been so rude. I'm afraid

    to go back cuz they always recognize me. Like I'm causing trouble for shopping at their

    stores!

  8. Went to Target to return a bunch of stuff, and of course found some good deals:

     

    Tinkerbell lip gloss sets 75% off $0.96

    Toddler Boys t-shirts $1.24

     

     

    I bought a table runner for my mom. It was only 30% off ($10.38), but there weren't

    that many left, so I'd better just buy it now.

     

    I also saw:

     

    Colgate Cavity Prevention Toothpaste - 3 pack - $2.50

    Girls hats & gloves 75% off

    Baby crib bedding -- sports theme -- 75% off

    Amy Coe really cute mobile 75 % off $6.48

    Toddler Boys plaid button-up shirts $1.74

    Pampers Splashers swim pants 50% off I think $2.48 or $2.98

    Girls soccer cleats 75% off (located in sporting goods) $4.98

    Large pack of 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper 50% off $4.98

    Baby Phat perfumes 50% off $12.48

     

    I was really there to return stuff, but I ended up spending half of what I

    returned. How does that always happen to me?:eyepoppin

  9. Thanks for the picture. That is a cute coat. I went to the CP Outlet today, and they were

    also having the extra 50% off clearance prices. They didn't have the coats you found, though.

     

    I found the girls microfleece pants for $3.99 and $4.49, as well as girls long-sleeve shirts for $2.99 and $3.49 (all after the 50% off).

     

    I am trying to stock up for next year, so these prices were great. The shirts were really

    cute. I am going to check back in a few weeks to see if the prices drop even more.

     

    Don't forget to use the 20% off coupon!

  10. Our newspaper The Sacramento Bee has a columnist who helps people find substitues for their favorite products, or helps people find products. You may have luck emailing her. I don't know if she can answer a personal letter since you are not in Sacramento, but it may be worth a try.

     

    Her name is Leigh Grogan, and you can email her at [email protected].

     

    Here is a sample of her letters and answers:

    Good Luck!
