HELP! Is there a way to find out if an item exsists at any target within a 50 mile radious? I bought Patio furniture but didnt have the table or umbrella to match. It is a very nutral color so I can always match next season no problem. I just wanted to see who else may have this. I tried Target online, but they dont have the item. I have the color card that gives all the details to the products in the line including the item number. Can anyone help me figure this out.
Is the item number in the brochure the DCPI number? It would be a seven-digit number, like a social security format, such as 087-06-0877. If so, I have asked at the customer service desk and they have made me a printout of availability of the closest several stores (it might have been six stores?). This is unreliable though, because Target's store inventory is not updated in real time. It will tell you how many items it thinks they have, but they could be in someone's cart, bought the day before, in the back room, etc. I successfully used this method once: I had previously bought a three-drawer storage unit for 75% off and wanted another. It wasn't listed on the website, but it had the DCPI number on the clearance sticker. I went to Customer Service and they made me a printout. I went to the store that said they had two units available, and was able to find the very last one after hunting all the endcaps. So it CAN work, but you can also waste a lot of time and gas. It is VERY unlikely they would be willing to look for you via phone and hold it for you. Good luck!

question: if garden stuff is to be marked down today and I go now, should it scan properly if it is to be reduced (prices already updated from corporate) or do I need to wait for them to tag and update from floor?
My guess would be they do need to scan each item to trigger the markdown, but it's not a very big job (compared to the big toy markdown, for example), and the markdown team starts very early before opening. So I would tend to think it would be done by the time you got there. I think the only time they don't need to scan to markdown is with holiday items and Dollar Spot (feel free to jump in if I'm wrong!)

Its possible someone has reported on this, but I didn't find it anywhere so heres what I have. All the Snuggies by us have been clearanced to half off at $7.48. If you go to Coupons.com and use zip code 90210 and click on apparel on the left side, there is a coupon for $5.00 off a "varsity" snuggie. Our store didn't have any "varsity" snuggies, but the cashier let me use the coupons for a blue monkey snuggie and a black skull snuggie. So I got each one for only $2.48! I used to think blah blah a snuggie is just another blanket, but I have to say I got one last year as a gift and it is AMAZING. Nothing better than curling up on the couch with my laptop and my snuggie. My store gave me no problem about using them and they had to manually enter it as it would not scan. YMMV.
This was a great tip! I was able to get three for gifts (you know, "joke" gifts that end up being mucho appreciated!). They had all sorts of colors including solids (blue, purple, green, pink) and patterns (cammo, skulls, monkeys, peace signs, tie-dye, clouds). I think these were clearanced because they changed the packaging, the new/full price ones in the As Seen On TV section come with a free flashlight. Anyway, the coupon scanned through with no problem, even though it says it's for the "Varsity" style only (which Target does not seem to carry). Thanks GinaInIL!

Iams cat food, 6lb orange bag (chicken and rice, I think) was on clearance for $5.xx, 50% off. I wish I had room to store more of these!
I saw these too, two different formulas. One was an orange bag and one was an off-white bag. There were quite a few pet items on clearance on an endcap including doggie t-shirts and tank tops for 75% off.

Have I missed any good bedding clearance? Moving has kept me out of the stores for a few weeks. I was hoping to find some Back to College clearance bedding, but I didn't see any at my store. Have they already clearanced that stuff out, or did they not have it this year? Does anyone know how long the Shut the Box or Liar's Dice games have been at 30%? I'd love to pick them up at 75%, but Target is too far for daily trips so I want to make an educated guess when I should head back. TIA.
Domestics and college stuff are still 30-50% here. Some stores have moved the college bedding into consolidated aisles or endcaps, so you have to kind of hunt around. Not as much as last year, and a lot of what's left is hot pink. I'm guessing it might go 75% next week (Thurs?), if last year is an indicator.
-
Backpacks were 75% off today. Signs said 50% but stickers were for 75%. Other school supplies were 50%. Unfortunately, no new markdowns in Garden/Patio here.
Also saw 75% off Yankee Candle votives, jar candles, reed diffusers and plug ins. The scents I saw were Beach Party, Vanilla Icing, Fresh Bamboo, and Black Cherry.
-
For those of you who have the back to school stuff marked down, how long ago has school started for you?
Schools here don't start till tomorrow and last I checked, everything was full price still.
Our school started 8/23 and BTS was marked down to 30% that week (backpacks 50%). I have in my notes from last year that BTS went to 75% around 9/15. Hang in there, they have to make room for the Halloween and Christmas stuff.
-
Meant to add, stuff is going quick at Lowe's - there is easily half what I saw last week and they were consolidating. Home Depot is down to just a few leftover items, so I doubt they'll have anything much left for 75% off. Don't forget to try haggling, especially if you plan on buying a lot, they are eager to get rid of this stuff to move in big ticket Halloween and Christmas items. Like that ginormous inflatable Frankenstein I saw today that was as big as King Kong.

50% off patio, outdoor items at my local Lowes.
TY for this - it has been 25% forever so I stopped checking. Got an item I have been stalking. FYI, here it's 50% off patio furniture, cushions, hammocks and stands, umbrellas and stands, and some accessories like candles; it's still full price for furniture covers, firebowls, swings, benches, and stuff they stock year-round.
-
i'll go back tomorrow and look at the steppers. that's my next stalkin purchase!
My brain just started working - I actually saw two different mini stair steppers, one was an Embark brand (Target house brand?) and it was 50% off at $3X.XX, the other was a different brand with a red box and it was only 30% off at $5X.XX. They looked very similar, small portable hydraulic steps. I think the Embark one had stretchy arm band thingees too.
I seriously can't figure out their markdown logic anymore. They will mark down a section and some items will go straight to 50% or even 75%, and some will linger at 30% (or even the dreaded 15%) forever. And then it varies from store to store. Some items will be 50% off at one store and full price at another identically-sized store that's two miles away.

Just a heads up for gottadealers in the DFW area, the Frisco store had several Intex portable pools 75% off. They are on an endcap in Sporting Goods. There was a small, medium, and large one late this afternoon. I did not see any slides or waterparks or other fun things people have been talking about. Pool chemicals and accessories were still only 50%.
-
our readers are on clearance for 134.xx. i'm watching the sporting good section for the mini stepper. it's reg 79.xx down to 51.xx. i really would like it for about 35.xx as i have a really small cubby hole to work out of and need something small. do you know what day the sporting goods stuff gets marked down? i did see a margarita machine for 49.xx reg 200.xx today
I saw the stair-stepper you are describing today and it was $36.XX (50%). I think sporting goods got marked down today as there were whole endcaps of bargains I have not seen before.

Yep same date here 9/14 for BTS. Therefore everything is still full price:( I am off to look for a mattress pad XL twin for DS dorm) He lost his sheets and mattress pad......I do not even want to know how or why. My guess is a toga party or something like that. Boys.....gotta love 'em:eek:
Maybe stolen from the laundry room? I'm sure your boy is very studious and would never participate in a toga party...
Anyway, college domestics were 30% off here including XL twin sheet sets. Some of them have been moved to consolidated clearance aisles. -
Orange Park Fl Target on Wells Rd has Much of the planters and some storage benches for 50% off. Inside the store there is an aisle of hoses, OFF bugspray, and such that is only 30% (just marked today) Someone Holler when and if they see plants and grills go 50%. Thanks!
I saw one grill that was 50% off today. It was a Brinkman, silver and black (did not get the DCPI's). There was also a red Brinkman that was only 30% off. Planters were only 30% and some were not marked down at all (the really nice ones of course). A lot of garden stuff is 30% now. Seasonal air fresheners (Glade, Air Wick, Febreze spring/summer) and discontinued natural household cleaners (Method, 7th Gen, etc) were 50%.

I know last year I got my swimming pool for 75% off, labor day weekend, in Ohio. HTH!
Labor day weekend is usually a great time for bargains. My notes show that I got swim stuff 75% off last year, including pool stuff (nets, supplies) and sporting goods (goggles, swim cap, also exercise stuff). I think a lot of people are too busy having end-of-summer fun (or worn out from BTS shopping) to swoop on bargains. But again, you have to be vigilant. If there is something you are stalking, start checking regularly or you might miss out.

Thanks..was hoping to see 50 to 75% off on them ...Do you know if they get to 75% off usually? If they are still left by then? Thanks!
It's pretty rare to score a grill at 75% off at Target. You might get lucky, but you will have to be vigilant. Usually it happens because they find some in the back when they are trying to stock Christmas items and they need to get rid of them ASAP. Or you might luck out and find one near the beginning to middle of September when they get rid of most of the remaining garden and patio stuff. I know some BBQ implements are 50% off right now but grills are the last to get marked down. On the rare occasions when I have seen grills marked to 75% they have been portable/tailgater size grills. Good luck.

What is in the yellow dot $ spot (is it mostly outdoor stuff/summer stuff)? I forgot to check it but I guess I will head back on Saturday to see if it goes to 75% off. I am hoping that at some point the brown dot goes on clearance cause I saw so many things DD could use.
Yellow dot Dollar Spot did not include very many items at the store I went to - I remember seeing notepads and toddler dress-up items (tutus, jewelry, gloves etc). Most of what I wanted ended up being brown dot. Yellow dot was small two endcaps only.
-
Pool supplies are 50% off here (chemicals, nets, etc). Also noticed the candles section and some scrapbooking/stickers are starting to get clearanced, they are at 30% now. Yep, they are gearing up for the holiday resets.
-
What was the question you were answering? Not sure which thing you are talking about.
I think she's referring to the question about whether to call customer service to see if an item is in stock before driving to the store. It's great that her store is willing to do that, especially if people are driving a long way. Unfortunately, not all stores are so accomodating, and they are not required to do so.
If anyone sees Electronics go to 75%, please post. There are some games I am stalking. I checked on Monday and they were still 50%.
-
Call the store. First they will do a computer check to see if they think they have it. Then if they say yes, ask them to do a visual check. They'll have someone in the dept look for it.
I would not recommend doing that unless you know the staff there and they are of the nice and helpful variety. Calling in is a good way to alert the staff to a fantastic bargain that they could score for themselves, especially in these tough times. Of course if you are definitely not going to drive out there unless they confirm that it is available, then you have nothing to lose.

At my closest store yesterday they had obviously found some BTS stuff from last year, there were a handful of backpacks and spiral-bound notebooks marked 75% off on an endcap.
Rechecked the toys and the whole department was decimated: empty aisles, stuff piled up by the scanners (from people checking prices and abandoning full-priced items), and all I saw left were Chixos, Moonsand, and water toys.
-
Went to my closest ON today and the sale camis were basically sold out, only five colors in XS or XXL. Luckily I got a bunch of the ones I prefer (same fabric but round neck/wider straps) during the last extra 50% off clearance sale. Also clearance did not have any additional % off. Left with nothing.
-
This great find brought up a question (I've only been PPing since January.) Since baby and toys departments got a large "reset" in January and again now in July, will housewares likely be having another big "reset" soon? Thanks to all the veterans for your sage advice!
I know I found kitchen stuff in September last year. They did a reset of small appliances and some other stuff too. I knocked off a bunch of Xmas presents that way, I'm hoping for (but not counting on) the same this year. September is usually a big month because of the Back to School clearance and I think another Domestics clearance so I am usually pretty broke when it's all done.
Anyway, college domestics were 30% off here including XL twin sheet sets. Some of them have been moved to consolidated clearance aisles.

Sorry, I did not see that desk, just lots and lots of tables that looked like IKEA tables (dark brown particle board with square legs in a flat box/you assemble). I actually never saw that desk (but I was not really looking...) The college decor seemed to be randomly marked down - some was 75%, while some was only 30%.
