Ours was 50% off. Same as last year.

That is possible, but not necessarily true. They did that only at some stores last year. Ours and many others posted 50% 11/1.

No, it doesn't. If you aren't there in the morning when they open, you might be missing it. It all goes clearance (as long as it is in special Halloween packaging). There are people who will take out cart loads of it. No idea what they use that much candy for, but I have seen people just loading their carts to the top and going through checkout. I always get M&Ms and Hershey's bars because those are my kids favorites. I have a bunch of coupons that don't expire till later in November, and I'll get it for them. By the the 2nd day, you usually can't find any regular or peanut M&Ms and most of the main brands of candy are gone, so I always buy it straight away or hide a couple of packs.

They give you 7 days. You could always re-buy and return on the old receipt.

Not necessarily. They may not be going clearance at all stores. Worth a check, certainly, but I wouldn't count on it.

Lucky you. It was a fresh markdown here. Bummer that they will be dragging it out.

Bad news. They marked the fall colored storage stuff manually down to 30% today. I did not see whether they marked the orange stuff, but definitely all the maroon. There were also a bunch of baskets with fall colored liners that were part of it. anyway, that means it isn't part of the Halloween clearance like they have been in the past. Last year I got some good stuff from that area as Halloween clearance.

Thanks! I'll let her know.

Thanks! That's the one. I think I deleted it in a spurt of cleaning up my desktop.

anyone still have a link to the TAG coupon that doesn't expire till 12/31/09? They've got the new one on sale at TRU in their Big Toy Book coming up and sis wants one.

I agree it is a bummer, but the policy is pretty straight-forward in that regard: How Our Low Price Promise Works Within seven days of purchase, guests can bring the actual printed competitor ad and a Target receipt of purchase of the same item to our in-store Guest Service area to receive a price adjustment. Photos/copies of advertisements or receipts will not be accepted. In an effort to ensure that our checkout lanes are efficient and quick for our guests, we’ll handle price matches at our Guest Service desk. If a guest wants to do a price match in the checkout lane, our team members will ring up an item at the current price and then direct the guest to the Guest Service desk to do the price adjustment. Price matching will apply to current, local print ads for in-store products only. Our price-match policy is not applicable to Target.com or other online ads. The following is a full list of exclusions: * Target.com or online retail promotion * Competitor’s Free Product * GiftCards * Limited quantity items * Open box or damaged * Clearance or closeout * Mail-in offers * Services (warranties, assembly, etc.) * Bundle offers * Special order * Sales-tax promotions * Liquidation/going out of business * Special financing * Coupons * Used or previously owned * Display merchandise * Pricing or typographical errors * Club or loyalty

The official policy says that they won't price match if it requires a club card. We've been lucky so far, but they'll probably straighten that out so we don't get it anymore. I use the Walgreens ad a lot.

The little orange sticker thingy is connected wirelessly. It could have been in the next aisle out of site, but still would have worked.The 2 different handhelds are just 2 versions of the same thing. The difference is what part of their system they are in. Only the markdown team can check the price change, so if it wasn't someone on the team, or if she didn't have it set into the price change mode, it would not have done anything.

Since you have a copy of the reply, I'd still go ahead and do it. They can look through their records based on the guy's reply to find your original.

When this happens to me, I write a very detailed letter and include print outs of emails, etc. to the CEO of the company. It is not an appropriate response on their part, and clearly you aren't going to get a response. I have had VERY good luck doing this. They usually pass it on to someone lower, but the issue IS addressed. Here is the Target name & address if you want it. THis is corporate, not personal: Gregg W. Steinhafel Chairman, President, and CEO Target Corporation 1000 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, MN 55403

I'd report it, either online or to the 800 number. Names, descriptions, etc. about the way they were buying them for themselves. Our store just fired about half the markdown team a couple of months back because they marked down a bunch of DVD players in the back that never saw the sales floor. They bought them all themselves.

Forgot to mention....if anyone in SoCal is looking for the Elmo Live, there are 6 at the Madre store in Pasadena.

Hmmmm....never thought of that! I may have just started feeling less negative toward the space it takes up!

We've had a Cuisinart one for years and it works like a dream. Just takes up too @#$%^ much space in my freezer!

They have a little bar code they scan for it. They just started a few days ago. In one store it is on the drawer below the cash drawer. In another store they have those paper coupon printers like grocery stores and it is on that. They just scan it for each bag. There is no sign or anything, they just started doing it. Sometimes I have to remind them.

Not much happening out here now, but they did start doing the $.05 for each bag you use instead of theirs. Now I make a point of not bringing in my big Ikea bags anymore. Despite the fact that I can fit 4-5 bags worth of stuff in them, they still only give me a nickel for it. I've got loads of bags, so I just bring them in.

You want to grab them right away. Ours all disappeared the minute they went 50%

Electronics

I've got two of them and love them! I wouldn't count on it still being there for less.

i don't think the online checker is working....again. I haven't been able to get it to find anything recently.
