CocoB

Stopped by my Target today to see if there were any returned toys (none) and happened to walk by the kitchen stuff which had been marked down to 75% and was scattered throughout the kitchen aisles. Pressure cooker was $10 down from $40, lots of Giada studd marked down, 4 packs of wine glasses for $3.50ish, 4 packs juice glasses for $2.50ish, silverware service for 4 were $10ish and other goodies. I bought the following which were all 75% off: ###070070427 Kitchen Essentials by Calphalon 5qt sauteuse (big saute pan) $17.48 ###070021122 Pyrex portables (hot/cold carrying case with a 9x13 glass pan and 2 smaller square glass pans) $10.37 ###070020610 Nordicware for Kids Baking Kit $4.98 (this is an adorable set which would make a great present- giraffe whisk, alligator rolling pin, teddy bear cookie cutter, apron and 2 small nonstick cookie sheets) ###070051684 Vibe stainless steel pizza wheel $2.24 ###070051678 Vibe silicone spatula $1.98

If it was marked 50% they should have given it to you at that price. Doesn't matter that it was a mistake on their part. If it happens again have a manager called over because they have to give you the price on the box.

I really don't know that the Legos will hit 75%. I read a post on some website several years ago that if an item at Target starts at 15% off, it's discount will go 15%-30%-50%. It will never even hit 75%- those that go all the way to 75% are on the 30%-50%-75% schedule. I'm pretty sure most of the Legos I saw did start at 15% but I could be mistaken.

I couldn't believe we went this morning and there was still xmas stuff in the xmas aisle. This store went 90 Tuesday. I would bet all will be gone from the stores tomorrow morning if it's not gone already.

Rockaway, NJ finally went 90% yesterday. Was just there this morning and they still have plenty of single rolls of purple Scotch tape for 20 cents in the reg tape aisle. They also have plenty of 3 packs of Mighty Beanz in the toy aisle for 30 cents each. They must have found some of the red and gold 4 packs of chargers in the back b/c there were about 30-40 packages of these in the xmas aisle today around noon. 49 cents per box of 4 chargers and these make great platters for cookies when going to a party. Still have lots of packages of bows and the 9 packs of xmas balls in the long tube.

I'm no rookie. Of course I scanned.

Rockaway, NJ.............still 75%...................... I am grateful to have a part time job in my field but bummed I have to work tomorrow so won't be able to check until after work. We are supposed to get some snow tomorrow so may not even be able to stop by if it's bad.

Rockaway has a few of the pink Philips LED ones. I did see one package of white round ball-ish ones- not Philips but the other cheaper sets. It was there this morning but doubt it will still be there when it hits 90......whenever that is. I thought some toys went 75% mid-January but it was mostly crappy toys. I think the better toys went 75% later in January last year and I think it was a Thursday.

Rockaway, NJ still 75%.............I was so excited to be the first one in the store this AM. I keep a xmas UPC with me so went to the nearest scanner as soon as I was in the store and my jaw literally dropped. Could not believe they're still at 75%- they went 75% on Dec 29. Did stop by Wash. Twnshp, NJ Target on my way home from work yesterday and they had already gone 90%. Picked up some of the 50 packs of xmas balls, cards and a few knick knacks. Stopped by again this morning after Rockaway disappointment. Shocked to find 6 packs of Philips LED warm white xmas lights- 1.19 each. Bought all 6. They still have an decent assortment of xmas cards- religious and non-religious ranging in price from 49 cents- 1.50. Still a good amount of the 50 packs of xmas balls for 1.50 and the tubes of xmas balls (maybe 8 or 9 in there) for 50 cents, some ornaments and candy but not much worthwhile.

There were two different holiday Thomas'. The metal version was 6.99. The wooden version was 9.99.

I got these last week when they went 75% and I think they're good. They taste like chocolate graham crackers. The marshmallows taste like the dried marshmallows in powdered hot cocoa mix.

My Target went 90% Thursday, Dec 30 and is still ringing 75% this morning

I have found that there are two sets of stores- ones that start 75% and 90% one day early and all others. For the past few holiday clearances (Xmas last year, Vday, Easter, Halloween) one of my stores has been on the "early" schedule and the other on the regular schedule. Thanks for the post about 75%- I'll have to hit up my "early" store after work today.

Based on my experience, it stays at 90% 2 days, then gets salvaged. If it went 90% at your store Saturday, it will be salvaged Monday. If it went 90% today, it will be salvaged Tuesday.

My store that went 75% on Thurs went 90% today. Got a pumpkin flag for the flagpole for 99 cents- they have the single big flags and the double packages of small flags. Thanksgiving flags were also 90% off- got a turkey and one with a Thanksgiving scene, both 99 cents. These flags were in the regular flag endcap.
