Patio 75% here (no grills), Black dot dollar spot marked 30% but ringing 50%, toys mostly 30 but a few 50% off, and patriotic clothing all 50% off.

Two major pieces of news... First, I found my first two MP juice box packs. So that was awesome! And the big one... The Backugan Balls have been marked down!!!! Yes, we thought it would never happen, but today was the day. However, they were marked down to $8.xx, which is not 75% off...closer to 66% off. Weird. The table and chair sets were all gone today...must have been marked down yesterday or the day before.

TONS of Baby stuff at 15% off...strollers, high chairs, car seats...lots!

Okay, toy clearance is officially starting now. My favorite store had already consolodated a bunch of toys to an aisle (with more on endcaps). All 30% off now. It was a real mish-mash. Some Star Wars, good selection of baby/toddler toys, lots of Kai Lan, a few Baby Alives, some summer-ish toys like a Toy Story slip n slide, and lots more. I have to say there was nothing there that got me excited, but I know there will be more! Also found kids car booster seats at 15% off ### Cosco Booster Seat: $13.xx (15% off) ### Graco Booster Seat: $16. xx (15% off) I went ahead and picked up the Cosco one b/c I think they will go fast at even a small discount since they are inexpensive to begin with. I need one for carpooling this fall! Picture frames were 75% off. Found a whole endcap of Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese at $1.88 each (50% off). I had $1.50/1 coupons, so I got a few for $.38 each! Woo!

Oh, and by the way...there are still two Backugan tins sitting on the clearance endcap at $12.48 (50% off). Those things have been 50% off for like two months. I just crack up everytime I see them! Why haven't they been salvaged if they aren't going to mark them down? I'm pretty sure those babies will sit there until Christmas!

Girls jeans 75% off here today...$2.74! Some food 50% off. Lots and lots of toys at 30%. Those snow cone makers are 30% off and I want one so bad, but at 50% off at the most. But there were 5/6 at my store and now only 2, so it looks like they may not last to 50% off! Fingers crossed.

I think the summer toy clearance is starting! I saw a ton of toys on the endcaps today (at 30% off) that were not there last week. I didn't get a chance to check out what everything was b/c I had my kids with me, but there were 3-4 endcaps shoved full of toys. Obviously it will be a long while before the big 75% off day, but it's exciting to see it getting started! Oh, and patio was 30% off, including a whole aisle of smaller patio/garden items. And I went to Target specifically looking for a pot for a potted plant and found a really cute one that scanned $0.00...I asked a team member with a scanner and he told me the last selling price was $3.74 and they sold it to me for that. I love it when that happens!

I got a grill last summer for 75% off...I had to stalk those babies every single day once they were marked to 50% off. I finally scored one on the day that I figured they would be marked down by asking the markdown person to scan them...sure enough, 75% off. I took the one I wanted and I kid you not, the employees were loading the other 3 that were there onto a flat, probably for themselves. So yeah, it's hard to get a grill for 75% off but it can be done! And as I recall, the grills were the VERY last thing to clearance out of the seasonal items. All of the patio furniture and other big items were long gone. There were school supplies all around the grills that were on clearance, I think it was mid August when I finally got one.

I think it's actually CROCS4SUMMER. (With the number instead of the word spelled out).

You can stack it with "STACK15" for another 15% off and DAD2DAY to get free 2-day shipping. Woo!

I did not have a card before the 5% promo started here, but I have to say that I LOVE it. An extra 5% off adds up! And you can get that 5% off online, as well.

FYI...they would not do price adjustments on the flip flops this year (even though they had in the past). I asked the manager last week if they would do them on the tank tops and he said he didn't know...that corporate handed down the "no price adjustment" rule for the flip flops and he wasn't sure if they would do it again for the tanks. So, YMMV on getting a price adjustment. I would for sure ask first. I guess worst case scenario is a return and rebuy.

I went a couple of days ago and can say with confidence that ALL of my coupons except for the Littlest Pet Shop b1g1 were for the right items. Most were even things like "Any Aveeno Suncare Product" and I bought a full size Aveeno sunscreen...absolutely no way that it was wrong. But I would say that 75% of them beeped. And the funny thing was that the only ones that were NOT for the right thing (Littlest Pet Shop...I didn't see the fine print before I used it) when right through with no beeps! That system is totally messed up.

Okay I printed out another one and read the fine print. Seriously? They put the NUMBERS of the products that the coupon is good for on the coupon? When I looked at it all I saw was "Buy a Select Littlest Pet Shop Collectible Pet and Get one Free" not all of the serial numbers under that. I have a feeling they will get a lot of these coupons used on the wrong things because I usually try pretty hard to make sure I'm getting the right thing and this one threw me off. I think it would be easier for people to use if they put the names of the things on there. Or just make it good for all LPS items up to a certain price...that would be even better! Oh, well...no big deal. It did go through with no beeps and automatically took the $1.48 off with no input from the cashier.

I couldn't really tell if the coupon was for the ones on clearance or not...it says for the "collectable" ones...aren't they all? I don't know. But I tried it on the ones at my store and it did work with no beeps. They were on clearance for $1.48 and all at the registers. ETA: I'm talking about the Littlest Pet Shop things.

I asked at my store, too, and confirmed that it's NEXT weekend. And, the weekend after there will be some kind of Father's Day doorbuster or special!

These were the final prices after the B1G1 deal, 50% off clearance, and a $10/$50 coupon I got off of Facebook. Women's Wonder Woman T-Shirt: $7.51 (reg $17.50) Women's Pineapple T-Shirt: $6.23 (Reg $14.50) Superman T-shirt: $4.50 (Reg $10.50) Wonder Woman Girls t-shirt: $4.50 (reg $10.50) **These four were part of the B1G1 Graphic T-shirt deal...the computer wasn't ringing them as B1G1 so they just manually adjusted the price down 50% Girls Brown Short Sleeve Button Up shirt: $2.13 Girls Tweety Bird LS t-shirt: $2.13 Girls Lace Capri Leggings: $2.13 Girls Smocked Maxi Dress: $2.56 Girls Ruffle Hooded Sweatshirt: $3.42 6 pair of Kids Pajamas: All $2.13-$2.99 (LOVE getting PJs for less than $3!!) Boys Superman Graphic T (this one was on clearance): $3.42 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WPQ-5o6JIsQ/S__7pgb1PkI/AAAAAAAABmU/bewd9fhQKpQ/s320/Old+Navy+002.JPG I got there when the store opened and headed straight to the clearance PJs...I was thrilled to get so many pairs!

also just saw on Facebook that graphic tee's will be buy one get one free!!! Wooo!!!

I got one of those big buckets last year during the summer seasonal clearance for 75% off...I haven't gotten it out yet, but it's sounding pretty good right about now!

Went to another Target today and the Disney Princess shoes were still full price there (scanned them)! Went back to the original store this afternoon and yep..still ringing up $3.74 and still marked $10.48. Weird. I hope someone else finds these clearanced at their store...but I'm wondering now if it was a fluke. Girls jeans were 50% off at my store, but there was a small selection that went to 75% off (the folded ones were still 50%, the hanging ones were 75%). Saw a Graco carseat/Snap n Go combo for $35 at the Ward Parkway Mall Target in KC if anyone is interested (it was there at 1:00 pm today). Original price was $144!

Dollar Spot salvaged here!

Thanks for the tip on 75% off Dollar Spot! I went this afternoon and while it was pretty picked through, I managed to get what I wanted, which was a bunch of the Disney Princess hair accessories and bracelets for my daughter's birthday goodie bags. Also picked up a few bug items!

Interesting...they must have changed their policy. I did price adjustments on all kinds of "doorbuster" things last fall and earlier this spring. Thanks for the heads up!

Did anyone go this morning? I didn't bother since I don't think these flip flops are all that comfy, but I'm wondering if it was a zoo!

Well, shoot! I was hoping for a bunch of stuff at 75% off in dollar spot, but that's not going to happen if it went on a Saturday and I wasn't there! I may have to skip over there this afternoon to check!
