I'm not surprised Global Bazaar never went 90% off. Only holiday and seasonal merchandise generally go 90% off, and this year Global Bazaar did not follow a seasonal mark down. Bummer.

It did last year; I got all of my son's teachers' end of the year gifts from the 90% off Global Bazaar selection. But since then I am hearing of more and more Targets sending seasonal clearance to salvage before it goes 90% off. So, I guess this will depend on your store.

Thanks for posting, Kathleen! (I'm known as Gator Pam here, obviously)

Wanna bet they didn't scan and just looked at the signage when you called? Corporate has most likely changed all GB via computer, and some stores hadn't changed the signs first thing in the morning. Unless the tea member worked in the GB area, they probably had no idea it had gone to 75% off when you called. My Target is five miles away, but I never call to check clearance prices. Gives team members too much of a head's up to items I want.

According to the seasonal mark down schedule, it should be today. That is, if there's any left at the stores.

We donate $1.00 for each of us to the charity, and leave $2.00 to cover all of us for the server. So, $5.00 for the three of us. Not bad.

Just the regular small size pancakes that usually come with their breakfasts. And it's one short stack (three) for free, not all-you-can-eat.

National Pancake Day According to the website, it's tomorrow from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.

Nuh-uh. You don't need that until you start dreaming (while sleeping) about finding a good deal at Target and being the first to post on the board about it... The same thing happened during the Chr-stmas clearance with the square truffles. The ones following the markdowns had a different colored X in the word Choxie. I think the regular logo has a red X and the holiday packaging had a green one. I haven't looked to see if that is the case with any that were put out for Vaelntines. But if so, I bet the regular X is still red, and the Valentines packaging would have a pink X.

Target.com has several pieces of the Thomas O'Brien Leaf dishware that was sold in-store two Chr-stmas' ago at 75% off, including a pedestal bowl I never saw in the store that I think would make a lovely centerpiece once filled with fruit and perhaps some pinecones. I remember there were several posters who also liked these dishes, so I wanted to let them know in case they want to add to their selection. I believe I saw a set of four salad plates, in both green or ivory, four bowls in ivory only, and four coffee mugs, also in ivory only. Here's the pedestal bowl: Target : Thomas O’Brien® Ivory Leaf Pedestal Bowl

I believe someone said it's in next week's ad as being 50% off. My guess is now the earliest would probably be next Saturday.

ITA about this year's Global Bazaar stuff. I really miss all of the pastas, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, et. al. selection that they had last year. I also made a killing on end of the year teachers gifts last year, but there's very little that strikes me as teacher gift in this year's selection.

It shouldn't matter, as the Global Bazaar, as a seasonal set, should be a nationwide mark down.

The Cascade buckets I got for 90% off during the holiday markdown were the red and green 80 count gel packs, but they were not the one with the snowman on it. I haven't seen those buckets since I bought all they had at my store. I am a little upset about the Newbie Guide being edited so the links no longer work, especially since I found out about it via posters on this thread and not from a moderator or administrator. But, I do understand why they did it.

A question for those who got the arcade machines. We got the Midway one at JC Penney's awhile back. It has a cartridge with the games on it that is plugged in above the screen. If I can get a hold of the Konami cartridge, do you think it would work with the Midway machine?

When the Dollar Spot/SSS area is marked down, it should be done nationwide via corporate, so always sca, scan, scan, regardless of what the signage says. If Target offers a printable coupon for diapers on their website, and you also have a manufacturers coupon for the same thing then yes, you can stack (use both) coupons on one diapers purchase.

Libby, I forwarded a link to your post to a friend of mine who is a consultant. I don't know if she'll respond here, as I've never seen her post on GottaDeal. However, PC is online. Have you checked their website to see if there is a preview of the catalog? New Products

I speculated that the Global Bazaar would follow the seasonal mark down schedule, and said I suspected it would be those dates, but higher percents off. It would be funny if someone took my speculation and posted it as a rumor on another forum... So, if it does go 75% off on Sunday, then what's left may go 90% off Thursday week.

Are all Burlington Coat Factories outlet stores? I've only been to the one at Sawgrass Mills. If not, does this apply to the outlet stores as well?

It applies to the quarterly ECBs you earn on 2% of your purchase totals. Say you spend $100 in a quarter at CVS. Besides the advertised ECBs, you also earn $2.00 in ECBs based on your spending that quarter. For this time period, with the coupon, your purchases will earn 6% instead of 2%. Did I get that right, Crissy?

WTG Ken! I really want one of those as I love Frogger. I went looking for one at the Gator Town Target, and was told they haven't carried them the past two holiday seasons, and they don't have any now. I'll keep looking to see if any come in. I wonder if the ones on the website will ever go 75% off, and if so, if I'll be able to find a free shipping code when they do.

If the Global Bazaar items were regular merchandise, it would then follow the weekly departmental markdown, although it would probably not be marked down every week. However, Global Bazaar is considered a temporary seasonal set, which is why I suspect it will follow the holiday/seasonal markdown schedule like LovetoShopCA just posted about the Valentines merchandise. But again, this is all totally speculation on my part. It might still follow the departmental markdown anyway...

Welcome to the GottaDeal forums, Joy! I believe it was either becca or childofsolitude (but may have been Rockfordmom...) who told us they saw that the Global Bazaar was being reset on February 18th. Since it's already 30% off, I would assume it's following the seasonal mark down schedule, and may go 50% off on Monday, 75% off on Thursday, and 90% off the day it's reset, Sunday the 18th. This is all speculation on my part though.
