found this forum today, and am glad to know I'm not the only person out there who has made a habit/hobby of target clearance shopping. :-)
today's buys included some women's capris at 50%
Men's short sleeved polos at 50%
baby/toddler socks at 30% (already noted, but I was happy with the selection of styles for 70 cents)
Monster High sew on patches at 50% (for the older child)
Sonia Kashuk makeup bags at 70% and Pixi blush also at 70%
Utensil organizer from the summer/melamine dishes section @ 50%. There were some really great serving sets left, but I don't have the room to store any right now. :-(
I found a a return cart full of clearance items I am assuming were collected from various places in the store. A fair amount of 'last one' items and unchecked markdowns. I lucked out that the cart was unattended. I haven't seen lunch boxes go on clearance here yet, but will be on the lookout.
