Here in NY it was still 50% off today (Tuesday, 12/29).

I was at Target this AM and Halloween stuff was 75% off. Yesterday my store was only giving 50% so they must have made the change for today.

How do you know she lied and wanted the TV for herself? It was first thing in the morning. She could have easily scanned it and lied and said the more expensive price. It was 1st thing in the morning - a new shift. She would have had to known the TVs were on sale and if she knew I imagine the rest of the "team" knew already too so why lie? If it was some sort of scheme so she and her coworkers could keep all the TVs for themselves, they probably could have legally limited the quantity of TVs you purchased. I do a lot of shopping in the early morning so I know - people aren't awake. You should have just said "can you scan this and tell me the price." Who cares about when the markdown team is going to get around to it - that's not your problem. Sounds like this girl was half awake and you were being a little timid. I dragged the guy over the E-Book readers so he could "double check" the markdown price for me.

Worked for me - Thank you! Ordered that book for $2.

I think the cashiers get in trouble if they take "wrong" coupons. The other day I was in Walmart and it was taking forever and then the cashier stops to read my coupons. I was annoyed but I tried to remember that in this economy everyone has to look out for their job. The cashiers don't want to get written up for accepting bad coupons and I'm sure if they get written up enough they will lose their jobs. I'm not suggesting you are scamming but a lot of people are - so they need to be cautious.

Thanks for the scoop about the Valentine's Day stuff. I guess I'll go Sunday morning!!

Does anyone think they'll mark the Valentine's Day stuff 50% off on or before Valentine's Day?? Also, the above theory...I think it might work in theory but a few things to consider 1. You return the item that's 50% off to the Target store #2, and someone else buys it b/c they are willing to pay 50% off for the item. 2. You should consider how far away are the Target stores and how much is your time and the cost of gas worth to you? I mean if you return this item to the 2nd Target store are you going to take time out of your day EVERY day and spend gas money to go there EVERYDAY to make sure the item you returned is still there AND marked 75% off?? If store #1 has a lot of the item you want marked down and is closer to your home, perhaps you could just go the THAT store everyday and monitor it? This way you're at least working with a store that has a few of the item in stock. I'm sure many people who post in this thread will tell you how they've been fortunate enough to find someone's "stash" that was hidden or they've grabbed an item that was returned and on sale.

I noticed that my Target had a lot of "sets" of PJs and had broken then up and where charging for each piece. Think it had more to do with the fact that once the packages were broken it was hard to keep track of them (they had orginally come with a ribbon tied around all the pieces). In some cases whoever had marked them down put "as is" tickets but with some, the tickets were just different - you could tell they were special made for these items. It can't hurt to try.

On Yahoo and NBC.com they are saying the pregnant woman and her unborn baby are fine. While Walmart might need a better BF policy, in the end it was the people waiting outside who were acting like animals. I've gone to concerts where people are pushing and acting crazy - and there's security and people have seats they paid for - yet they still act like animals pushing and stepping on people to try and get a better view. I know alot of people dislike Walmart but you can't blame them for people's behavior. While there are bad parts in all cities, in general Long Island isn't really considered dangerous. How are the employees inside supposed to know that the crowd is crazy? I'm sure all the big stores had crowds waiting outside and yet they didn't think things would be bad enough that the police should be called. This could have just as easily happened at Best Buy or Target.

Thank you again for your help!!!

Ok I was looking at the laptops Dell has on sale and I mainly want to use it to run Photoshop and surf the web. Are you saying the 3 laptops they have for under $700 aren't really good for that or worth it?? Honestly I'm not ready to line up outside of Best Buy or Circuit City or any of the stores at 10pm or so the night before and I know usually a lot of those doorbuster deals aren't available online b/c they want to drive in-store traffic. Thank you in advance for your help.

Beachfront thank you very much for that info!! I've been thinking about a laptop and it's good to know these little things. I saw that dual core and Core 2. I've seen both and never realized there was a difference.

Between my friend and I there are 5 Target stores and all the stores we went to had almost none of the Cynthia Rowley stuff. I had noticed that last Saturday they hardly had any of the stuff left. Does anyone know when it all went on sale orginally? We both thought it was really strange that they only had junk left even last Saturday.

My friend has twins and I wouldn't worry about her not having clothes for the boys. She'll get tons if she has a baby shower and from other family and friends and if she works I'm sure co-workers. If you really want to help your friend, get her diapers and wipes.

I didn't even notice it's for next week - thank you!
