I hope mine doesn't go 75% until tomorrow!! We just spent a week in Florida and have to wait until payday tomorrow. I really wanted the Sit N Stand stroller too. The Target in Vero had one endcap filled with Hannah Montana at 75% off last week. Everthing else was 30-50%. I didn't see anything in baby there either. Its been killing me to read about all the markdowns. I don't know why I keep reading this thread. I did go to Target this past Sunday because I needed a fix and found 5 MM's. I left one behind for someone else to find. Also found 2 of the Disney Cars 3 packs that were $15, now $3.74. I was surprised they still had those since they had been marked down over 2 weeks earlier. They had no sticker on them though and were in with the non-clearance toys. And every scanner in the store was out of order. I'll be going tomorrow morning hoping to find something left on clearance in baby or toys. Target is seriously becoming an obsession. I had no idea there were so many great deals to be had. Thanks everyone for sharing all your finds!

I have heard that Toys for Tots, Firemen and Police officers shop this sale to stock up for next Christmas and to hand out toys to children in traumas. Not saying this is what they were doing, but I hope it was.

Thank you for posting this! I overslept this morning and almost didn't go until I saw your post. I got there a little before 11 and scanned a couple of items...still 30. Then I was about to leave when I heard the scanner beeping in the next aisle! They had just started marking down to 75% off!!!!! There was only one other woman shopping and she told me that they scanned her items for her. So I filled up my cart and had the very nice patient woman scan my cart. The only clearance item that didn't go to 75 for me was the playskool balltivity. But they had tons of those at 50 off so I think I'll check back later. So if you already checked Target this morning, you may need to run back! This was in Mt Pleasant SC.

We are still 30-50% off toys in Mt Pleasant, SC. They had someone on almost every aisle moving toys and putting out new toys. Most of the clearance toys were in the first few aisles near camping. There were still a few clearance toys mixed in with the others. Also a lot on the endcaps. Global Bazaar or whatever they are calling it this year is 30% here also and on-line as well. Shocked me too. I loaded up in the baby-toddler clothing sale. I bought my son a Circo jacket for $4.24! Carters pj's were 50% off, lots of cute shirts, sweats, even socks were $1 vs $1.50. Strollers were 30-50% off. I really wanted a booster seat, but the carseats aren't on sale. I'll be back tomorrow to see if toys go 75% and to check out the baby gear! Hope I can get the kids up early...did I just say that?!? Never wake a sleeping baby except for 75% off!!

Sent dh to Target at lunch and he said the Air Hogs is still 30% off. I'm sure he didn't look at anything else. He really wants those helicopters lol!

Thanks for the update! I think I might make a Target trip as soon as Dh gets home tonight to check on the baby clearance. They do markdowns on mondays in the baby dept right?

I'll be keeping my eye on them and I'll post as soon as I see a good deal. Dh has taken off with our only booster one too many times! Lol. Thanks for the update. I don't feel as bad about not making it to Target this morning. Well..almost. I need a Target fix!

I'm so hoping today isn't THE day. I got the kids dressed and ready to go early this morning which is a feat in itself, only to find out that Dh still had ds's booster seat in his car! I am def checking the baby clearance for an extra booster seat! Dh promised to go by Target on his lunch break and check it out. He really wants the Air Hogs Lasar Battle...lol. I'm climbing the walls here!

I purchased a huge playdoh set on sale BF 2007 and still haven't made it through all the containers. They are still like new in the container. I think as long as they are airtight they stay fresh. I almost bought some of the Christmas clearance playdoh but decided to finish what we have first.

I don't know about the Body Shop, but if you have a WholeFoods near you they carry some really nice glycerin soaps. Or at least they did the last time I checked. Maybe you can find some on-line? There are a lot of homemade soap sites that use organic and mild ingrediants. HTH

My MIL gave my ds a battery operated guitar with push buttons...very annoying. Come to think of it, she's also the one who gave us the Furreal pets cat that have a really loud meow and shedding fur...I guess the shedding is to make it all the more Fur "real". The parents brand drum and instrument kit is very cute, but I had to confiscate the drum sticks because everything suddenly became a drum. They went to "toy wonderland" as in I wonder where that toy went? Hmmm...

I just remembered seeing in the baby section Pooh Bear holiday blankets, shoes, outfits ect for 75% off.

There were a lot of boxed trees, boxed ornaments, stockings, and wrapping paper left at my store in Mt Pleasant, SC. A lot of lights too. The stocking stuffers and chocolate were really wiped out. I bought 2 32" fiber optic trees for 4.99 each for my kids rooms (were $20 each). Also 5 boxes of lights, some wrapping paper, gift tags for .32, a can of spray snow and some battery operated flicker votives for 3.24 were 12.99. I also bought a playskool busy ball choo choo for dd's first bday for 13.71 was almost 20. And I bought some closetmaid fabric drawers for 5.50 each. Also Goldfish crackers were 3 for $5. In total I saved 87.57. I was happy with that. Just wish I'd looked for tissue paper! Maybe I'll have to go back...lol.

Mt Pleasant, SC 75% off now.

Ds3 LOVES his Little Tykes Cozy Coupe. He has been driving for days. He even tried to sleep in it with a blanket. Lol. So sweet. He also loves his Handy Manny tool box I got at Kohl's and a medical kit I picked up for $7. He's put his tools and dr's kit in his car trunk. The Disney Cars Piston cup 500 race track has been a lot of fun too. Dd 8 months likes the Playskool busy gears and the ball popper. Also the Tiny Love chicken stacker that has soft stacking rings and balls. Also the Fisher price stacking action blocks are fun. My dh and I love the Wii Fit and Shaun White Snowboarding game. I am not a big gamer, but wanted the Wii Fit for the workout. I was surprised at how much fun it is. And you can really feel the workout in your legs! The kids got so much and they love everything. The only real disappointment was the Little Shots camera my mom bought ds. One of the screws was stripped and we can't even test it out. I've got to go exchange it for a new one.

My brother went to the KBtoys in Charleston, SC yesterday. He said everything is 50-70% off now. He bought an activity table for trains with bins under it for $35. He also bought a couple of either hot wheels or matchbox ramps for $5 each. He said he got a bunch of stocking stuffers as well. His son was with his mom for Christmas so he wanted to get some after Christmas deals for when he sees him today. Almost makes me want to go out there myself. We are swimming in toys here after Christmas and I can't imagine buying anything else right now, but dd's b-day will be here soon and it would be great to get some deals.

Actually, its $83 now...even cheaper than the BF price. I paid $88 for mine after PAing it on BF. I can't comment on the quality because we haven't opened the box yet. Its wrapped up and waiting for Christmas. I'm hoping it keeps my 3 yo entertained on our 9 hour road trip next year! We chose this one because of the price and also because it had inputs for games ect. Here are a few reviews from Targets website: http://www.target.com/Trutech-Dual-7-PDVD-LMD-5702RT/dp/B001AJG036/sr=1-2/qid=1229978741/ref=sr_1_2/602-1132524-4625409?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Atrutech%20portable%20dvd&page=1

I ordered a Disney Cars Piston cup race track on the 19th from TRU. I bought it on the spur of the moment because it was on sale for $29 and I know ds and dh will have a blast with it. I just got shipment confirmation today from UPS but no delivery date as of yet. I would love to have it here for Christmas, but I have plenty for ds otherwise and it shouldn't be missed if its late. I also ordered a Wii Fit bundle as a gift for myself. I ordered it at the same time that I ordered the Cars racetrack from TRU and it shipped on the 19th. It should be here tomorrow.

I saw one at Blockbuster last night. I can't remember how much it was, but it was sitting on the checkout counter. Hope you found it!

Outback and Carrabba's have spend $100 on a gc and get a $20 gc.

I can't believe I did that! lol! Thanks for pointing that out to me. I knew it was too good to be true. I'm so sick right now with a nasty cold and a teething infant. I totally thought the books were dvd's. I guess the lesson here is never browse while on Nyquil. Sorry about that. I still think the books will make a good gift for one of the tween's. I am cancelling the second box set. Thanks for letting me catch that before it got delivered!:) BTW, I didn't have an edit button either until I had posted for awhile. Not sure how many posts you have to have, mine was just there one day.

First you have to go to checkout and fill out your name address ect. Then right before you enter your cc# there is a promo code box. You type in FSN25 in the box. I believe most are case sensitive. Then it should update with 25% off and fs. I just ordered one pop-up book for 19.95 before promo and 2 Star Wars dvd box sets for 19.95 each before promo and my total was $44 and change! Thank you! These will make great gifts for some 10-13 year olds i know and maybe DH. Thank you so much!

You're welcome! I wish they carried Clickstart. Ds is only 3 and not quite ready for Leapster yet. Kohl's has had some awesome sales lately.

Thank you! I paid $25 shipped for 2hats, 1 pr mittens, a shirt, skirt and 1 pr leggings! I had to call customer service because of the runtime error. They were super nice and said that I was getting the error b/c so many people are shopping at the same time for the holidays. I'm sure the awesome sale has traffic up on the site too. So if you have any problems ordering, call CS. Thanks again for letting us know about the sale!

I keep getting kicked out every time I try to order! First it didn't have a place to put my cc# in and now it crashes everytime I try to complete my order. It says Runtime error and I get completely booted of the internet! So frustrating! Dh is a computer geek for a living and I'd call him, but don't want to explain why I'm buying more clothes for dd...lol. I hope its just a problem with the site and it'll be working again soon.
