  1. hi fellow GD bargain hunters, I have a huge favor to ask and I'm upset that I will not be out joining you all in the joy of the hunting tomorrow and Friday. I will be in surgery Thursday morning that involves opening the back of my head for the 3rd time in 3 months. :eek: I have been checking my stores and as of last week the Smartcycle games were still at 17.00. I am on the hunt for any 5 out of the 12 (or more if your store does have them) of the game cartridges for the Smartcycle by Fisher Price at 75% off (reg price 24.99). I (well Santa) purchased one for my 5 year old DD for Christmas. I will pay for the games and all shipping fee’s if someone is kind enough/lucky enough to purchase the cartridges for me. I'm a single mom and you would make my DD very happy and me too, I am so sorry that I have to ask this and that I am not able to be the one shopping.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    Shannon

    Hey I live down in West Palm, I will have a look out for you & maybe we can meet up & exchange for you :). I will PM u my cell #, give me a call, I am hitting up about 8 Targets today if they go 75% off :)

  2. Just went to a different Target...no Christmas stuff left AT ALL! :( Toys are all still 30% off. Question for all of you pros...I am looking for the Barbie Princess set that has all of them, both of my stores have mysteriously had all of them disappear...which wouldn't be odd if they didn't have a ton left after Christmas. Any ideas if they have moved them to the back room until the 75% off? Also, LEGO's...this store had a few more large boxes on the 30% off...not wanting to spend that much, maybe 50% but really want 75%. My MIL got a TON of LEGO's last year and told me that they were marking those all down the morning she went in and got lucky enough to snag all of them...is this common? Sorry for the questions and TIA for your help!!

    Yes they do sometimes pull new legos on the big clearance days. You can always stash the legos that are there at 30% behind some laerger boxes & then take it to a member of the price change team on the big day & they will adjust it for you if it has gone down further

  3. Heading to about 7 Targets tomorrow to make my list of what I want for my 3 boys but after having a quick scan through the toys last week I am sure the list will be pretty short as they seem to just have cr@p on sale this time :( . I stii have lego sets left over from last year but so far have only seen 2 sets in all 7 stores at 30% off.

     

    Happy with all the Christmas stuff I got at 90% off. I got gift wrap, cards, ornaments, tissue & bags :) .

  4. We have 3 ailses of toys that are all marked 50% off so I am guessing that they will go 75% on Thurs 14th. I dont know about anyones elses store but all the stuff on clearance just seems like crap. The last few years I have gotton some FAB toys for my kids but I just dont see anything that I would go crazy over like I have done in past years :( .... maybe its just my kids have so much of everything there is nothing else left to get , lol ;)
  5. I have only seen the Power Miners legos on 30% so far. The Legos are weird, some stores here go from not even having them marked clearence & then put them straight at 75%, some are at 30% for ages & then only go to 50% off. We got pretty Legoed out this year, LOL I managed to get my 6yr old about 15 different sets all at 75% off so I am saving some for next Christmas just incase I dont find any at 75% off this year.
  6. Ya, I asked one associate at Target yesterday evening. Because I REALLY want the Graco Play set, but want it for less than what it is now, lol. So I asked her when the toys would go to 75% off, she said she wasn't too sure, but to check back in a few days. So I'll be going again tomorrow to see. Probably just go straight in to the toy section, check it, and leave.

     

    Last year he toys went on 75% off on Thurs Jan 15th

  7. Geesh, our target is soooooo sneaky. I must have scanned some 15 funtainers this morning when I found one for 3.98 - but it was a girl one and I have a boy. I too noticed that hangy thing. And when I pulled out all the remaining one with hangy things on them, their barcodes were all ripped off the bottom AND from the Thermos tag attached to them. Since the barcode part of the Thermos tag was ripped off, they were placed inside the Funtainers. When I tried to convince Guest Services, he said no and that the hangy things didn't mean anything. Oh well.

    One of my Targets ripped all the BTS school barcodes off & stuck new ones over the top

    :eek: .

  8. I went back this morning and spoke to management at Target. I can see both sides of this argument. I know that I was not intentionally trying to pull one over on Target. I asked the cashier yesterday if the TAG reading system coupon was fine to use for the TAG reading system books and she said yes. The management at Target agreed the wording on the coupon was confusing. That said...I do undertand people's comments about the picture on the coupon. I would not recommend trying to use this coupon for anything other than the boxed TAG system. Let's please drop this now. Thanks

    Amen!

  9. Anyone in the DFW find any BTS Thermos? I've been looking everywhere for some, but I doubt if any is left over. Our BTS has gone 75% and that usually means a lot of picked over stuff..:(

    Look in the camping section where all the coolers & stuff are. There are some mixed in there. They put them back to stock rather than marking them all down. The only difference is the barcode on the bottom. You will find they look the same but the sticker barcode on the bottom has different numbers.

  10. Which Target's did you go to? I have been looking for the Tag readers but no success. I am sure if there are any left they will go salvage soon.

Lake Park, Okeechobee & SR7, Lantana & SR7, Lakeworth & Jog, Congress & Gateway , Hagen Ranch & Boyton Beach BLVD. I was at all 6 on Saturday.

    \

    Got 5 Tag readers last week for $2.48 each :) :) :) :)

  12. I swear this time last year there were 3 aisles of Back to School at 50-75% off and an aisle of fans at 50% (I checked my old bank statements to verify dates). This year fans are still full price with just some AC window units at 30%. BTS is still full price except for one small section they were marking today at 30%, and they have less than half the stock they did last year. Patio and grills still just 30% and again far less stock than last year. And nothing at all on clearance in toys now except for pools and swim toys at 30%.

     

    Clearly my Target has gotten much more strategic in how much they stock and how quickly they mark down. Good for Target, bad for me...:(

     

    Thats exactly how mine local Target is now. I am lucky that I have 6 Targets around but the closest one is getting so slow with the clearences.
