I'm still waiting for the Target brand toys to go to 75% off. The store that I normally go to they were marking them down to 50% off last Friday, the day the other toys went to 75%. Normally they all go to 75% off together, not sure what the delay is on those toys. All of the other local stores marked them down with the other toy markdowns and I missed getting what I wanted. Anyone know when they may get marked down further? Would it be one week or two weeks from the last markdown??

I have a hard time trusting the Target employees, I have never been given accurate information. In fact I asked a guy that works in toys when the clearance would be and he said he didn't know, maybe next week and thankfully I went the next day and they were 75% off. I don't put too much stock into the information that I receive from them.

My kids get invited to a lot of b'day parties so I plan ahead and buy age appropriate toys to give as gifts; I also buy for my kids' b'day, Easter, Christmas, etc. It saves us so much money AND I don't have to run out and buy a last minute gift! :)

Oh, wow, that's a big picture.....lol! Well at least you all can see everything clearly....

Here's a picture and a list of all of my finds today: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z117/elaineb1/DSC09880.jpg?t=1263597415 ### Little Pet Shop Mall Madness game $6.24 ### Dangling Charms Creations $3.87 ### Light up disc shooter .98 ### Nascar Helmet Racers $2.47 ### Counting Money Jar $2.50 ### Nascar with Hauling Truck $3.74 ### Micro Terrain Titans $3.74 ### Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 DVD with 2 cars $1.48 ### Spongebob Sorry game $4.48 ### Exago game $6.24 ### Spongebob Cranium game $4.48 ### Dominos set in wooden case $1.48 ### Little Pet Shop light up dome $2.97 ### Nascar Hauler $4.97 ### Velcro gripes w/ball for toss game $2.50 ### Monopoly Theme Pack for dog lovers $2.48 ### Matchbox Taxi Workday playset $3.24 ### Matchbox Construction playset $3.24 ### Wheel of Fortune electronic game $7.48 ### Clue Carnival game $2.74 ### Hot Wheels over the door hanging display $2.74 ### Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 Battlekey Blast set $4.98 What a great day, I love this sale!!!!

I forgot to add: the Target brand toys were being marked down to 50% in my store, they weren't included in the 75% off sale which is strange since they usually are. The other two stores I checked were completely sold out of the those toys. Did anyone else notice this? Anyone know when they may be marked down further??

I was at the Wooddale, Illinois Target at 9:15 this morning and it was absolutely crazy! People had their carts filled with toys and you could barely get in the isle. I did manage to get everything that I wanted and more, wish I had gotten there when the store opened but I had to get my kiddos off to school. I also went to the Target on Rand Road in Arlington Heights and then the Target on Dundee off of Rand Road in Palatine and both were pretty picked over by the time I got there at 10:30, I still managed to find a few things. I think I spent a total of $150.00 and came home with bags of toys. I love being able to do the happy dance all the way out the store, such a great feeling!!! I will post my finds in a bit......

jpk1102: that is so nice of you, I love the pay it forward and wish more people did that, you are awesome! Shannon: I hope you're surgery went well and you are feeling okay.

I'm stopping by 5 Target's here in Illinois, one of them had better be 75% off, I can't take this anymore!! I'll report back later.......

I was only able to check out the Wooddale, Illinois store today around 4:00 and they were still at 30-50%. I asked a guy who works in toys when they would be marked down further and of course he didnt know anything, I really don't know why I even bother to ask,, they never tell me anything, very frustrating!!! Kids snow boots where marked down to 75% off and some shoes. I did manage to find a king size 700 count sheet set for $30.00, it was only 50% off but it was the only one so I got it. I am planning on going to a bunch of Targets in my area tomorrow morning, will post back what I find. Good luck everyone!

Forgot to add: both stores where rearranging the toy department, when I asked when they were going to 75% off of course they said that they didn't know but it was probably going to be tomorrow.

Checked the Wooddale and Schaumburg Illinois Target's this morning and they are still 30-50% off, will check again tomorrow morning. Ugh, what a let down!!

A big thank you to Rockiesgirl for posting the picture of the tape, I finally got them and was able to do the happy dance all the way out the store!!! I went to the Arlington Heights, IL Target, one that I normally do not go to bc it's a bit farther than the other stores, they had a bunch of them with the little price in the corner but they were scanning "item not found". I went over to customer service, told the woman they were part of the Christmas clearance and should be 90% off and could I still get them. She sold them to me for .19 each without a problem!!! Must have been my lucky day to get such a nice employee!! :) I was able to get 20 rolls of tape!!

They did this to me with some Halloween pixos, they absolutely refused to sell them to me. I told them that there were plenty of them still on the shelf and they better remove them if they don't plan on selling them to anyone, do you know that they are STILL on the shelf??? AND coming up item not found!!

I looked back in this thread and couldn't find the one listing past dates for the winter toy clearance, can someone post those again? Thank you! And sorry to be a PITA!

I'm still on my quest for tape and oreo's....isn't that silly? I don't even need them but there is nothing like finding that great deal! I want to do the happy dance too....lol!

Just got back from the Target store in Wooddale, IL, the signs in toy area say 30% but the clearanced toys are scanning at 50%. There were three employees in the next isle marking the Target boxed toys 30%, of course they wouldn't give me any information. I am hoping that 75% off is next week. Oh, and very little Christmas items at 90% off, just cards, stockings and ornaments.

I just came back from the Schaumburg, IL Target on Higgens. They have mostly ornaments left at 90% and some stockings, very slim pickings. I looked at all the end caps and around the store for "hidden" treasures but there was nothing, not surprising since this Target gets a high traffic volume. The toys are still at 50% off, scanned a few but nothing came up at 75%. Clearance toys are only one isle and a bunch of end caps. What a disappointing trip....I really needed a Target fix today....

LOL!! Yes, I have had Target clearance nightmares, that's what happens when you are as obsessed as we are......

I checked out the Rosemont, IL store today and they were 90% and had two isle's left. Mostly stockings, tree stands, light hooks, ornaments and some misc. stuff. This is what I found: ###My Little Pony winter pony at .69 ###Ornament hooks at .06 ###Christmas CD at .69 ###UNO card game at .44 ###Mini red Christmas tree at .25 ###3 Bella Sara boxed pony w/playing cards at .49 each ###Sticky gift tags at .29 a pack ###Farting pen (hey, it was cheap! ; ) at .49 ###Pez dispenser at .39 Couldn't find any tape, towels, or oreo's....

I forgot to mention, the toys (in the Wooddale, IL store) are 50% off although the sign says 30%.

The Wooddale, IL store is 90% off today. Two isles of cards, stockings, ornaments, candy, small table top trees, ribbon, bows and other misc. items. I scored 2 packs of cloth napkins at .99 each; hello kitty 6 pack lip gloss rings at .39; holiday stationary at .30 each; misc. ornaments at .19 each; velvet ribbon at .29 each; velvet bows at .49 a pack; and a black holiday dress in the girls section for $5.28 (marked 75% off)!

Scored two twin size flannel sheet sets for $4.99 each!!

The Woodfield Target (in Schaumburg, IL) went to 75% off this morning. Dollar spot is marked 50% off but scans at 75% off.
