Okay, I really believe the markdown team at my Target has been abducted by aliens. I haven't seen them at work in literally 2 weeks now. Today I found 4 wreath storage bags on an endcap. They were regular $6.99 and rang up $4.99. Cosmetic sets and such are still 15%, those darn flannel sheets are still $13.98, and bulk is still FULL price. Do I win a prize for officially having the worst clearance in the country?

3 jars of PB is more than a normal family uses? That's absurd!!! I guess a family of 4 with two young peanut butter loving boys isn't normal then. Those cashiers would faint if they saw the vats of pb people buy from Costco. I'd really put up a fuss about that one.

Aaargh! Just came back and the sheet sets are STILL $13.98 and the bulk is STILL full price. How do I explain to DH that we have to move to a neighborhood with a better Target?

Ha! I'm STILL waiting for 15%.

After all the kids sheet set sightings, I bundled my kids up and went to check. Talk about frustrating. Spiderman sheets were $9.98 and the transformer ones were still $13.98. They've been like that for two weeks now. Are these supposed to go down with Domestics or with kids things? At the Watchung, NJ the playhouses were at 75%. eta: I saw the Chefmark sets too. All at 75% At the Clark, NJ store, some of the bulk was down 15% and the there were about 10 easels left.

I just got back from the Watchung store and all I got were some Diego fruit snacks for $1.06. The markdown team has been MIA for a week now. I checked at least one thing in every department and everything is the same price it was last week Monday. I'm off to try another store . ETA: I finally saw some of those Shutterfly kits mentioned earlier. They had the story book, the mug, and the keychain. All at 30% though.

I just checked online and the policy says a receipt is required for ALL returns. Maybe some stores are just more lenient than others?

Yet another Target question... Let's say I get something at one store on clearance and another Target has the same item for full price. If I return the item w/o the receipt to the full price store, will I get the clearance price back or full price?

We got ours for free. DH is in the Craftsman club though.

I wonder if we've all crossed paths at one point or another. I used to work at the Ground Round too. Just in case you were wondering, I was the nice cs girl at Caldor. Watchung, NJ shoppers, I just got back and came back with just a furnace filter. The 75% toys were mostly gone but there was still 1/2 an aisle of toys at 30% and 50%. Very frustrating! I have my eye on some Transformer trucks that are only at 30%. Kids Flannel sheet sets are 15% off and I found some perfume sets at 30%. Paris Hilton, J-Lo, Britney Spears. Huggies Christmas Wipes were still full price. Came home empty handed but lots of potential.

I just bought one at Costco on Thursday. It's a Nordictrack C1500 for $799 in-store. It was rated as a best buy for treadmills under $1000 on treadmilldoctor.com.

Sorry but I didn't make it last night. DH just didn't understand the situation and I really don't think that me explaining it to him in detail would have helped. I'm sure there's nothing left by now . What part of Westchester? My very first job was at Caldor on Central Ave in Yonkers. I keep trying to remember Black Friday back then but I can't.

Really?!? That's my regular store :)! After the kids go to bed, I'm on my way!!!

Speaking of the Union store... I went back today and had my own run in with a psycho shopper. There were 3 clearance toy aisles and this woman kept trying to block the aisles with her shopping carts. One person moved the cart to get into the aisle and she said "That's there for a reason!". Nobody paid her any mind though. It was crazy. One woman had two carts overflowing and everytime a toy fell off one cart, she'd get all paranoid and try to pick it up while keeping a hand on the cart and without taking her eyes off the carts . I would've have picked something up for her but I figured she'd yell at me and accuse me of trying to take her goods

The signs still said 30% but the few toys I scanned were 75% off. I'm going to check the Watchung store now and then maybe the Clark store after that:razz:

The Union store on Route 22 was 75% off today. Three aisles of toys + a few endcaps .

Okay, I THINK the toys are marked down 75% here in NJ. I just got a Fisher Price King Carnivore for $9.98 which I know was $40 before x-mas because DS3 & 4 wanted one terribly and I refused to pay that much for it, and I found a hot Wheels crash and something set for $10.48 but I'm not sure how much the regular price for it was. Still nothing off on those darn x-mas wipes.

Thanks for the tip! I didn't want to spend more than 75% off on them just because I was afraid they might "walk away" in the middle of the night somehow but now I won't even bother. The neighbors on either side of me keep their lights on all night and there's a huge grocery store nearby that keeps their lights on too. That said, I'll probably see them for 90% off tomorrow:tongue1:

Has anyone seen those solar lights go lower than 50%? They're only $19.98 now but I'm gambling on them going down to $9.98. Of course, I gambled last year too and lost .

Okay, two quick questions: #1 The other day at Target, they were stocking the shelves with tons of Holiday pack Huggies wipes. 45 count for $1.97 and the packs had snowmen and trees all over them. I asked the ee if those where full price and she said yes because they were winter not holiday items. Should I try to get a few and get them marked down at the register? #2 I got a martini shaker for $4.50 the other day and found the same one at a different Target for $1.79 so I bought the cheaper one too. Now I can't find my receipt for the 1st one. If I have them look it up with me card, will they just give me back the $1.79.

My store actually had more larger sizes than usual. I got a pair of flannel pjs, lip gloss, and 6 pairs of panties for only $55 (used the $10 coupon for taking the survey). They had tons of Pink clothes on sale.

Went perusing this morning. Still 75% but there's only 1/2 an aisle left. Mostly those darn boxes of gift wrap that nobody seems to want. Global Bazaar is already getting set up. I did happen to find a few things. Those slipper/sock things with snowmen on them were $1.24, I found a cool martini shaker at 75% off regular $17.99. It's really nice and comes with the recipes for about 8 different martinis. Scotch Tape and those Scotch paper cutters were hanging in the stationary aisle. The cutters were $1.24 and the tape was .99 for a 2 pack. The entire toy dept was closed off. There were about 15 workers doing there thing in there. Can't wait to see what they're doing.

I read somewhere that it was supposed to start yesterday but I was there and it didn't. Started at 8am today. I'm on my way now. Happy Shopping! The online sale started last week. http://victoriassecret.com

What a flop! I've been waiting for a chance to go perusing without the kids for days and finally got my chance tonight. Got to the store, x-mas was only 50% off, toys had signs that said 30% but everything I saw of interset rang up full price:confused: All I got were done Dixie plates at $1.24. I'll have to chaeck again Monday when the kids are in school.
