I agree. It was kinda strange how not everything went down. I was also surprised that the camping clearance didn't go down hardly at all today.

I was in a different store than I usually go to, and they had a lot of carts of clearanced toys. They were busy resetting everything else in the toys, so to me it seemed very possible that tomorrow could be the big day.

Hopefully we'll hear reports from Target shoppers tomorrow whose stores mark toys down on Wednesdays.

I saw a 20% off Nerf Rebelle blasters, bows, and darts on Cartwheel. I don't know if you could pricematch and use the Target coupon and Cartwheel, but it's certainly worth a try!

Was able to pick up some toys for younger niece and nephew, and some toys that my kids can use for when they get invited to bday parties, but my find of the day was completely random. In sporting goods, I found a Razor electric E90 scooter for 85% off. Sticker price was $99.99, but it was marked $15.04. #082 07 0158

On our way out of Indpls yesterday, we stopped at the Target near the Castleton mall. The toy markdown team was working their way through the toys, which seemed odd because it was at 5:00 in the evening. There were miscellaneous toys and games marked down from anywhere from 30% to 70%. My son was returning s duplicate gift and was tickled to find a Lego set marked down to 50% for the same price he received for his exchange. It was the super heroes series, marked from $50 to $25. There were a few other legos marked down, some 30% and others 50%. Seemed kinda random as to which sets were marked down, and I certainly didn't understand why some were marked more than others. Didn't see anything that my 8 y/o DD would like, but then again, the toy section was pretty picked over from Christmas. Hope that helps someone!

In Indpls, my Target was 90% off Halloween decor, crafts, costumes, etc. Not sure if it went yesterday or not, but still had a decent amount left. I did find the theater boxes of M&Ms for 10 cents, and the bags of nerds and pixie sticks (Wonka brand) were 70% off. Didn't try scanning anything else. Was happy to get some cheap candy that should last until next Halloween (except for those M&Ms!) They're going in our office! =)

Look by the registers for the little Lego bags. The Lego Harry Potter ones are ringing up at $1.19.

Unfortunately, you are right about the prices being higher as your child grows. Not only do the clothes and shoes get more expensive, but so do their toys! My 9 y/o DS is now in a mens shoe size 8, and that was a shock to the wallet when buying dress shoes for Easter. Yikes! The prices that you got for the capris and t-shirts are fantastic! Clearance buying for next year's season is the best way to go, IMO. I know kids have sudden growth spurts and all, but so far, I've had good luck with buying clothes in advance. As far as what is a good price for shirts, pants, and the such, that is going to vary from person to person. I'm personally happy if I can get jeans/pants for $10 and under. Knit t-shirts and shorts/skorts I want $5 and under for, and nicer skorts/shorts for $10 and under. Just a head's up....my DD is just starting to move out of the 6X size, which is putting her into the bigger girls section of clothes. The clothes in those sizes are a little higher than the 4-6X sizes. Oh well, just gives me more reason to clearance shop! HTH

I saw the same thing at the Southport Target store. There were two of them, and they were actually on the second level where DH was able to take it down and try it out. He didn't buy it, but it scanned for $32.xx. Also saw 20" girls bike for $32.xx, also 75% off. It was either a Schwinn or a Mongoose (sorry, couldn't remember!), and I considered buying it for DD, but I just bought her an 18" bike, so no use in having another bike sitting in the garage collecting dust. Very, very little camping or sporting goods clearance left, but there are several bags of bicycle spoke beads for $0.48! I say that because I looked everywhere so it seems for such a thing before Christmas for DD's new bike, and couldn't find them anywhere! Ending up getting them for $4 or $5 on amazon, then I see them super cheap at Target! Oh well, I bought a bag to supplement the $5 bag I already have!

Oooh, I forgot! I was at my Target early this morning, so maybe they weren't done scanning all of the things in the sporting goods department, but I did see an encap near the camping stuff that had several nice sleeping bags marked down to $14.xx, 75% off. Sorry no dpci for it, as I didn't buy any, but I wonder if some other camping clearance might also be marked down further in a few stores?

No legos at 75% off here in Indianapolis. But 50% is good, IMO. Most other things were 75%. Happy shopping to all!

This is especially for 1angellnhvn!!!! I stopped by my Target this afternoon and saw that this had been marked down to 75% off and was ringing up at $32.xx It was the 10 in one hockey table set. ###091170058 Titan 10 in 1 Multi-game Everything else toy-wise that I glanced at was still only at 30-50% off. Tomorrow must be the big day for the markdowns, I'm guessing.

So I'm guessing your store didn't mark the toys down further today either?

I was wondering the same thing! Thanks for the info!!

I agree! I did buy this before Christmas and thought it actually was pretty good. After our family Christmas gathering, I left the whipped cream at my mom's house, but I bet it would have been yummy in hot chocolate.

Thank you for the information! :)

Just for a head's up....I went back to Target today to get some Cuties, so I looked at what was on the shelves at the Southport Target in the way of air hockey tables. There are two varieties that I saw.###091170058 Titan 10 in 1 Multi-game (there were 8 on the shelf today) ###091170060 Excelorator Turbo Hockey (there were 6 on the shelf) Hopefully we'll have luck finding these for 75% off!

That's a really neat idea about the nativity scene! I have the nativity set myself, but unfortunately this year, the nativity set has intermingled with the kids' regular Playmobil sets. Today while the kids are still at school, I need to rescue the nativity figures from the kids' rooms so I can finally finish packing up the Christmas decorations.BTW, I've ordered the portable Playmobil house for DD a few years ago from Ridge Road and was pleased with my purchase, so thanks for the head's up about their sale!

I appreciate your imput! :) So I wonder what they were doing? Do you think they were just consolidating the clearance???

I live on the southside, so I stopped by the Southport Rd Target store. All that I saw marked down to 75% off was the Paperoni Deluxe Studio set, a few Thomas trains, and maybe an infant toy or two. So pretty much what I found at 75% were the same items that others are finding at 75% off. There are currently two full aisles of toy clearance, so I'm not sure how that equates with how your stores are looking like. I stalked the July clearance last year for the very first time, and was pleased with being able to buy toys for my two kids, as well as my nieces for their birthdays and Christmas. I will say that there have been a few times in the past year or so that I have seen someone post here that they have found something incredible at 75% off (like the camera we bought, thanks to whoever posted about it this past spring), and have found the stores on the northside/westside to have had the item in stock, whereas Southport Rd. and Greenwood were long gone....One thing I'm interested in is the Playmobil, but the Southport Rd store only has a few of the mermaid sets left marked down (I think) to 50%. I wonder if any of the other Indy stores have more of a Playmobil selection. I'm thinking I will have to make a trip to the northside or the westside soon! One thing I did notice today in the clearance aisles was two or three varieties of air hockey-type tables. Also saw a good dozen boxes of electronic dartboards. These were marked at 30% still. Has anyone seen this in their toy clearance? Sorry I didn't write down the numbers....I wonder if anyone has a thought on if this might get marked down further?

Hmmm, was that all toys at 75% off? I was feeling rather stalky (is that a word?!?), so I stopped at my Indpls Target today, not expecting any additional markdowns in the toy dept. I saw a few toy items that were marked down to 75%, but everything else that I scanned was still 30-50% off....

Random deals I found on the SS of Indy: dcpi ###094040005 Up & Up cetirizine (generic for Zyrtec) 350 ct. $18.68 ###055020105 Lindt cappaccino chocolates $1.94 ###087101080 Hungy Hungry Hippos travel game $1.24 ###091050008 Snowball Blaster toy, was $29.99 marked down to $7.48

lovetoshopCA, is there any way you could get the dcpi (or whatever it's called!) to me for the Scribblenauts guide book? I checked the closest Target to me today for it, but the guy in electronics was of no help, whatsoever. Maybe I could do a location search of other Target stores near my location if I had a code to search for....TIA!
