Gator Pam

Does Joann's sell adult costumes?

Beorn had gotten several of the anime series for GBA last year. They work great, but the volume is so quiet it's hard to hear what's being said when watching in a moving car. If you plan to use them in a car, I would still go with the portable DVD players.

Eeeek!! I was just told on the AOL Target board by a Target team member that starting with the Hallowe'en clearance, seasonal clearance will no longer follow a set schedule, such as the one posted above. I hope that's not true; we'll just have to wait and see.

You can also go to the Target UPC Clearance list and see if there are any items that usually retail for around $30 that you figure they will like on 75% off clearance. If so, you'll only pay around $7.48 for each item. But they don't need to know that.

The section with the dollar merchandise is called The One Spot. As far as I know, all Targets have it, but I have heard some of the stores that are currently undergoing remodeling may not have it until the remodel is finished. It is located behind the shopping carts and across from the snack bar right by the front doors at the Gator Town Target. I have heard of them being located in various locations, but that is the most common location I have heard about. TY! TY! TY! Me too, as soon as I cash my paycheck! From what I have seen, corporate markdowns only happen on 'seasonal' items. The One Spot is considered all seasonal, but they will put out the new merchandise before the old stuff gets clearanced, so you may have to scan several items to see if any of the One Spot items have been clearanced. As far as other departments go, as I explained in the Newbie Guide above, different Targets do mark down percentages at different times, depending on how well the item is selling at it's current price. My store tends to run a month behind on mark downs that are not done by corporate. But if they don't sell out after about a month, they do eventually hit the 75% off clearance. Thank you! It's nice to be appreciated. Welcome to the gottadeal.com forums! I hope you can find the items you're looking for on clearance!

But what about taking door busters out of lay-a-way during blitz hours? If you can find the exact model before BF...

Ooo! UPC or model number please? How heavy duty is the mixer?

Me too! But I knew I would. I just wish someone had pm'd me while the chat was on to remind me. :::sigh:::

Well, I've seen so many 'team members' shopping the clearance deals while on the clock that they don't leave any behind for customers that I do sometimes wish I worked there to be able to do that. But, the sources I have gathered over the three years I've been Perimeter Perusing constantly say the employees are not supposed to even say when a department is going to be marked down or anything. I enjoy sharing the clearance deals at Target, once I've gotten my own. I think I would be very unhappy knowing about a good clearance coming up, and not being able to share aobut it.

I thought the no temp control crockpot was only meant for potpourri...

Teri, all last season's dollar spot items should be ringing up 30% off. The Dollar Spot is one area that's usually done corporate wide. Even if there are no signs are clearance stickers, take an item to a scanner and see if it's scanning at 30% off. I've heard rumors the items that are on clearance in the Dollar Spot may go 50% off of Mondy corporate wide.

Amber, was it a migraine both years? Could you be eating something at Thanksgiving dinner which might be triggering it? Perhaps taking a preventative dose of Immitrex before sleeping might help.

For some reason I'm thinking March/April, but my son is 12 years old, so I may be wrong.

From the above list, I chose America's Second Harvest and Habitat for Humanity. I feel these are organizations where donations go more to benefit those they help, and less to adminstrative cost.

Welcome to the gottadeals.com boards! I am also fairly new to the site, but my understanding is as soon as Brad and Ross get a confirmed ad for either BF or T-day, that they post it to the site. I'm looking forward to Kmart's and Big Lots!

I am awaiting mine so I can also promote the site. I love the idea of having copies of the ads on hand to pass out! I'll have to keep some in my purse.

Cami, could you give some more detail about 'that stupid little beep?' The plans for our first SuperCenter have finally been approved, and I was planning on doing a lot of my grocery shopping there with pm and coupons when they open. Do they limit the number of coupons you can use?

:::wishing I had the $$$s for it:::

There are several items in the Wal-Mart ad like this for me. We need a new t.v. in our bedroom, and the 15" flat panel will be perfect for there. I had a Concorde less than megapixel digital camera that worked 'OK' for ebay pics (I only paid $9.94 for it on clearance at Target) that gave up the ghost earlier this year, the Kodak easy share will also be nice. Due to my son's AS, he has use of 'assistive technology' written into his IEP, but the school refuses to supply him with a laptop; he has to use a desktop computer that faces away from the teacher and white board. If my budget allows, and there are any available when I get there, I will get the laptop for Beorn. There are other items I seelcted, such as the portable dv player and the dual screen vd player. And those are truly ones I'll seriously consider depending on my budget because of how good the deals are. We were the same way regarding upgrading from the GBA to the GBA SP. But, once we got one we realized the back lit screen, folding compactability, an built in rechargeable battery made it worth the price, even at $79.99. Oh, I hope they offer these again this year! I give lava lamps a b'nai mitzvah gifts which I have ensribe on the base with the honoree's name and date of ceremony in both English and Hebrew. Beorn's bar mitzvah is this oming September, so he'll be 'doing the circuit' this year. I better stock up if they are on special!

Will you have computer access while you're in Cocoa Beach? If so, pm me, and maybe we can arrange a brief IRL while you pass through Gator Town on your way home. I would suggest today, but we're at FIL's south of Orlando riding out Wilma before we head home later this afternoon (we hope!).

Oh rats, this is the first I've seen this thread. I would have loved to have suggested CHABAD-Lubavitch of Lousiana and Desire Street Ministries, both religious based organizations doing wonderful charity work in New Orleans who have been devasted themselves by Hurricane Katrina.

I think the retailers object because by knowing what will be on sale BF, and he prices for the merchandise, many shoppers postpone spending money now. I know I postpone shopping on the items I'm interested in! But, I doubt they would go through the trouble of 'leaking' a fake BF ad.

Crissy, are you coming down down 75S? How far into the Sunshine State are you trveling? You may be coming right past Gator Town! Great finds! Would you say the entire Fall line of outdoor decor has gone 75% off?

But, if Wal-Mart carried the items you want from Target and TRU, why not pm and be done with it?

I am so bad at remembering this type of stuff, even with a reminder on my calendar. Could I request someone pm me with a reminder once chat's started, if I'm not already in chat?
