Don't forget- there is a $4.00 rebate on the Bebe Sounds heart monitor in the current issue of Baby Talk magazine, which is free at most Babies R US stores and pediatrician's offices if you don't get the free subscription. I just sent mine in. I am very excited about getting the monitor for $1.00 after rebate! Great deal!!!

I lucked out at Toys R Us a few weeks ago. They were putting up the ads for the new spring outdoor equipment on a wall in the front of the store, but they still had the display in the back of the store near the bikes with last year's stuff. Almost everything was sold out, but I got a nice Kettler metal swingset for $50. (It was on the very bottom of the display board, so maybe that was why there was one left.) I thought that was a steal. I posted on the offline deals forum about it, but I don't think anyone else has been able to find one. You may want to keep an eye out though just in case. Good luck!

I missed the 75% baby clearance at my local store, so drove to the next closest one last night and hit the jackpot! I got the Fisher Price Digital Baby Monitors (12.50), Winnie the Pooh bottle gift sets (3.24), Baby Books (3.24), 7 piece baby gift sets with hooded towel, wash cloths, socks etc. (4.24), several 2 packs of sleepers and knit pants (2.48), 4 packs of onesies (2.48), mam Pacifiers (1.00), bibs (.74), 6 packs of socks (1.74) and much more! They also had a few crib sets down to 16.00, a Snugli infant carrier for 12.50, and 2 breast pumps for 75% off. I could not believe my luck! Great day at Target!!!

Target in NC had the Singer Protege sewing machines today for $45.00, marked down from $180! Also, lots of 75% off in the fishing items and sporting goods.

The one I saw at my Target in NC was the Evenflo brand, but I cannot remember anything else about it! They made it easy at ours- all of the 75% big baby items were on a shelf between the car seats and the start of the shoe department. I checked the regular shelves but it looked like everything clearance had been pulled out. I wish I could give you more details! I am pregnant too, so I understand about lifting those boxes! Good luck.

I was in another Target today and found some great baby deals. It was weird, because at the Target closest to my house, all of the baby stuff disappeared! This Target had the Evenflo travel systems for $32, several baby gates for $12-$13, a car seat marked from $150to $37, a high chair for $6.24, and Baby Trend Jogging Strollers for $25! I was so excited! Especially since we are expecting our second baby in May. What great deals! And all of the items were marked. Now, the smaller stuff was still only 30% off, so maybe it will come down soon. By the way, if you are interested in the Bebe Sounds heart monitor to listen to your baby's heartbeat in the womb, it is at $13 and there is a $4 rebate in this month's Baby Talk magazine. That is a pretty good deal, but especially if they mark it down more!

I did scan in hopes the tags were wrong, but everything scanned at the marked price! I can't believe they moved it all to the endcaps and it is still only 30%! They were working in the deparment setting up the shelves, so maybe a big markdown is coming very soon!

I was in Target in NC today, and they were resetting the baby department. All of the big items (strollers, furniture, baby gates) that had been on clearance were gone. They had also pulled all of the smaller clearance items from the shelves and they were stacked up in piles on all of the endcaps in the baby department. I looked through most of it, but almost everything was still only 30% off! I really wanted 75%! Guess I will keep waiting.

Droolbug2, sorry to hear that you didn't get a swingset. I am sure the only reason I got one was pure luck! I just had to share the deal in case someone else out there could find one!

I was at Toys R Us today and saw a lot of toy markdowns, but none as good as Target. Then I happened to notice a Kettler swingset for $50 marked down from $250! I bought it of course! Apparently, this was one from last year, as the employees were working up front putting up pics and price tickets for all the swingsets and outdoor equipment for this spring. The clearance swingset ticket was on a display for outdoor toys in the back near the bikes. There were others on clearance too, but everything else was all sold out.

Rogersx4, How weird that we both live in Kernersville and have Aidans! I was at the Kernersville store this morning and they were consolidating some of the clearance toys from near the seasonal into the aisles over by toys that had clearance. I am hoping that means tomorrow is the big markdown. I have been to the Wendover Target and the High Point Target in the last week and their prices were not nearly as good as the Kernersville store. I just don't want to miss it! I am going in the morning when they open just in case. Maybe I will see you there!

I went to my Target this morning hoping to get the toys at 75% off but they are still 50%. I am in North Carolina. Anyone else from NC? Just wondering if other Targets in this area have marked things down more. I am planning to be there when they open tomorrow, since everyone seems to be getting great deals. Maybe mine is just a day late. I'm tired of waiting!

I went to Target tonight and got some great deals! Christmas cards at 90% off, Fisher Price Infant to Toddler Stroller for 30.24, and a ton of toddler clothes for my little boy, all at 75% off. I spent $76 on $450 worth of merchandise! Not bad! All of the baby items were still at 30%, although the strollers, baby gates, and some of the bigger items were at 50%. Toys were mostly 50% with a few at 75%.

At Sears in NC, the Christmas was 75% last night. They had a few stockings and lights left. They had mostly trees, which you can buy online at their website and pick up at the store. We did that yesterday. Bought a 7 foot prelit tree for $75, originally $300

Just got back from Target in Kernersville, NC. Baby items are still 30%. Most toys are 50% but they were re-setting the toys today and had moved all the clearance ones into 3 aisles. There were also a few 75% off toys scattered in with the 50% off ones, like the My Little Pony Rainbow Castle for $15 (was $60), so you really have to look. The Christmas was still at 75% but the manager was back there and an off-duty employee from another store asked her when they were going to 90 and she said they have a new system in place for clearance based on store sales, and they get an email telling them the day before or day of to mark it down. She said they had gotten word as late as 6:45 am to mark things down for opening that day. She also said that if she were guessing, it will probably go to 90 tomorrow. But it depends on sales so every store will be different!

Last year, the Targets near me (central/Piedmont North Carolina) marked their toys to 75% off on a Thursday in mid-January. I believe it was the second or third week of January. I went to three Targets that day and scored big! I hope to catch it again this year! Regarding the baby clearance, I was at Target yesterday and they had items on every aisle of the baby department marked 30 percent. Swings, bouncers, strollers, cups, bathtubs, potty seats, bottles, and the hanging layette items were all included! I am expecting our second baby this spring, so I will definitely watch this and update if they go to 50%. If anyone sees the Baby Trend Sit and Stand Stroller on clearance, I would love to know! Thanks.
