  1. Great deal on GPS-Maestro 3100 for $37.52, I bought one and there was like 20 on the shelf, went back about 1 1/2 hr later (maybe not even that) and bought the last two, he said they went fast. Orginally $149.99, Target #092050013, they are marked 50% $74.98 on the sign, he only marked a couple since they were selling fast (I think the employees were probably honing in on this deal). Also found some other electronics deals like PSP case for $4.98, camera case for $6.xx, some music cards Cheetah Girls and Disney Radio for $3.74. Defiinitely worth looking in today, I think tomorrow, its going to be gone.

    WOW! Awesome deal on the Maestro. Were they on an endcap or just on there regular shelf? Anyone else see this deal?

  2. I don't think $4.98 for the globe would only be half off because I am pretty sure if it's the one I am thinking of was originally around $25-30?

    Wow..I think you are right...I thought it retailed for $9.98 because that was above the $4.98 price...

     

    I was told that they wouldn't do price adjustments on these clearance items. Is that not true?

    Yes that is true...But what I and everyone else does is buy it when it goes down again and return it with the receipt for the higher purchase....

  3. Found lots of goodies today...

     

    2 - Elmo Doodles $6xx

     

    2 - build it kits (the little experience) $3xx (Princess Castle for DD & Build A Boat for my nephew)

     

    1 - Wiggles Book With Microphone price on it was 4.98, but rang up at $2.98

     

    2 - Easter My Little Ponies...They were with the regular My little ponies..They both rang up NOF...The cashier gave them to me for .75 each.

     

    1 - Dora VTECH globe...$4.98(this was only 50% OFF...I will buy and return if they have them when they go 75%...They only had 3 on the floor....

     

    2 Crest Toothpastes...Just .68 after my coupons...

     

    2 Fission Music player 1Gb $9xx

     

    1 Sony DVD player...Was marked at half off $64 something...Orig was $129...But rang up for $34. I asked the cashier working cameras if there was anything wrong with it..He said no..I suspect it was an internet return...

     

    10 - American girl books....All marked to .88

  4. We have had Directv for 5 years with no problems untill....

     

    We had a big windstorm and knock our dish down...We called them and they wanted to charge us for someone to come out...They said since we were not paying an extra maintenance fee every month then they would charge us for the visit...

     

    I said transfer me to account closings (our contract had long since expired) and mysteriously he was able to send someone out free of charge to replace our dish...

     

    I mean we had been with them for 5 years..Always paid our directv bill on time...I didnt feel like we should be charged $150....Other then that they have been fine...

     

    So Directv is fine if you NEVER have any problems nor need any type of work to be done where they have to come out...

  5. Getting a VS card is worth it if you buy alot in my opinion. I earned "platinum" status a while ago and they send me $10 giftcards with no minimum purchase regularly. AND I get the free lipgloss, free panties cards all the time too.

    Not to mention the Reward cards....I just got a $40 reward card..From points put on my VS card...

     

    On another note..I received that beauty tote...and although I usually love VS gwp...That tote was not worth a $50 beauty purchase...

  6. I have worked hard to cultivate relationships with the markdown teams at my regular stores. They like me and take care of me. I even bought them a round of Starbucks pastries during the toy markdown. They were taking their break down there and I knew I wanted a few things marked out of turn. They had been telling people they couldn't check their items because everyone and their brother was interrupting them and not letting them get their work done. But when they came back I was allowed to put my few items in their pathway so they would mark them for me. No problem. But they still kept turning others away

    I think that is so awesome! Unfortunately I am never around when the markdown team is marking at either of my stores...But I do have my favorite cashiers....And I often bring extra coupons to give out to them...

  7. got several Color Wonder sets for myself and my friend. I also got some jewelry sets to give as gifts, a paint by number and some of the stepping stone kits. Also a cool fingerprint science kit for DS. We love Color Wonder but HATE Color Explosion (the black sets) as that black stuff gets on their fingers and ends up all over the place. Yuk!

    Is the color wonder in the stationary/office supply section? I am going tonight....

  8. Target often offers a gift card with purchase. It is usually advertised in the weekly sale ad, and on the shelf tag.

    Yes...Look for them in your weekly Target flier...They are usually in small lettering next to the product...

     

    I remember back when Target had the Glade flameless candle deal....After that week was over I had $90 in Target gift cards..and enough candles to last years..lol...

  9. I also had a manuf. Q for $1.00 off any tylenol. The 8 ct at Target was .97 and even though my coupon scanned, the cashier deleted it and said I had to spend more that the Q, I was al little and this but I let it slide since I had DS2 and DH with me!

    I am sorry..But that cashier was wrong...Next time look for a youngish cashier...They dont care..and usually let overage pass throught without any problems...

  10. My deal of the day was an Aero Garden for $24.48!! I was ecstatic! I have wanted one of these since I first saw them in a catalog, but they were around $500 then. They are "down" to $180-$200 most places now, but that is still too high for me. I saw this one on clearance about a month or so ago at the Glendale Galleria store, but figured they'd be gone by the time they went down enough. Sure enough, they were gone, but I saw one on an endcap with regular merchandise, turned so it wasn't obvious it didn't belong. Anyway, I was doing that "oh, please, oh, please" prayer we all do from time to time, all the way to the scanner. It was NOF, and the cashier did a "name your price" thing. Whoopee!! I am not even going to tell DH as he'll be annoyed at the size. But I will have to clean out some office space in the house to set it up. I have a home office, so he can't complain too much.

    You got a super great deal! I have wanted one of those for the last year...but like you didnt like the prices...I didnt even know Target had them. What were they marked down to before they went NOF?

  11. Yeah, we use AE for all our family expenses. We have a points account, not the rebate one. But it pays for all our hotel stays for vacations since we can transfer the points to various hotels. I am able to use the Target Visa for business, so when I want a big item from Target, I just use the 10% off and the Target card. it sure is nice.

    Did you know that the Disney Cruise line is now cruising on the Southern Cali Coast? I think out of San Diego although I am not for sure...Its to the Mexican Riviera (Cabo San Lucas, Mazatalan etc)...and I believe Amex was or is running some type of special with points for that cruise...

     

    Just a heads up for the future...

     

    Back to Target stuff....I found 3 clearance Wii games today....marked down to $3.26. One was a Tiger Woods game....Cant remember the other 2....I gave them to my nephew when I picked him up for school....He got a Wii for x-mas and his parents my brother & sis in law refuse to pay for those expensive games...lol...I was like why did you buy it then?

  12. For any of you that purchased the Smith & Hawken copper fire bowl, I put mine together and noticed that it did not come with the poker (that the box says is included). I emailed the company and was told that Target decided to pull that accessory after the packaging was printed. They are sending me one in the mail and they also told me that if I knew of anyone else that purchased the fire bowl that would like to get the poker, to send them an email. This is the address I wrote to:

    Thanks so much for that..I havnt opened mine up yet...But what is a poker? Can you copy & paste the letter you send and PM me with it?

  13. I forgot to add one more thing about the Target Visa. Every time you earn your 10% off card for use in-store, they also send you a 10% off code to use online. It used to be easy on the internet to get free 10% off codes for target.com but doesn't seem to be anymore so I am glad to know I always have one I can use for online orders

    I really miss getting the 10% off coupons from Target...I rarely use my Target Visa anymore...I started using my Amex card last year....It has 1% rebate on everything, 3% on restaurant & gas purchases and 2% on anything travel related....I put everything on that card and pay it off every month...This year I got a $3100 check in the mail....

     

    Today was a great day at Target...I found one of those firepit things everyone has been getting...Was marked down to $22 from $89.99...and 3 MM Fruit Punch....lol...I havnt found any juices in 6 months.....SO I was happy....

  14. I was able to use the toy coupon this morning on Easter toys, so it is worth a try on the markers and stuff.

     

    Someone stocked the Thomas Easter trains in the wrong spot, so I got them for $5.99 each and used the coupon. I bought six because I trade trains with people in the UK & Australia who also are into Thomas. That way we are able to get the exclusive trains from each other's countries.

    That is so neat! Do you meet other traders on message boards?

     

    Also does anyone know when sunnypatch was marked down last year? My DD picked up a watering can from that selection and begged me for it. (She has her own flower & vege garden)...When I looked at the price my heart stopped...lol...$6.99 for that plastic thing?
