I edited my post for clarification Jan 7th was 2005 and Jan 6th was this year, a Friday, which most everyone thought was an odd day for the markdown, but like I said it varied by store. I have 3 that I watch and each was a little different with the day, but the above was my primary store's schedule. I'm not exactly sure on the 2003-2004 schedule, but I can remember that was the year of the christmas lights, all stores had way too much, plenty left at 90%. And they are all in the trash now, lol. Hate those little bulbs.

Your answer is.... varied by store For my store it was 2004-2005 Dec 26 - Jan1 50% Jan 2 - Jan 6 75% Jan 7 90% 2005-2006 Dec 26 - Dec 30 50% Dec 31 - Jan 5 75% Jan 6 90% But I read other reports that were different than mine, in fact I'd say each year would depend on the day of the week Christmas falls on and quantity of stock for that area of the store. Good luck and post what you have. I made notes for WalMart and Kohl too.

It would appear that some Targets 90% clearance schedule is 1 day different, so it's adds to the fun of searching for the deal. so it would be Traditional Holiday clearance schedule 50% off day after holiday for three days 75% off fourth day after holiday for 2-3 days 90% off seventh day after holiday for 1-2 days.

I follow nearly the same pattern at each store, although the Greatlands are a little different, they would know what I was doing by where I stop to look, it's not that hard to tell.

try this links for the coupon pages, same coupons, just two different formats. http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertarget/page.jsp;jsessionid=XRKS50P3Y5CMHLARAAVPYAA?title=supertarget_coupons_specials_main http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertarget/supertarget_coupons1.html

Sale was good on Sunday, got my boy some snow pants, $27 pants for $6.75.

Target went from 30% to 75% this year, wierd, you gotta get there on the right day when that happens. If you want the fantastic 4 big fists you are in luck, every store I checked still had plenty even at 75%, otherwise most toys were picked over by last night. Thanks all for the updates.

$1000!?!?! Can you adopt me?

Yesterday Overland Park, KS 75% Independence, MO 30% Saw the same items at both stores. About 20 miles apart. Glad I tried the OP store first, plenty left at Independence at 30%, and I always check the price, don't trust the signs.

ccarson, sounds like role-play to me. and I agree with others TRU customer service needs improvement (not my original wording, but trying to be polite) good luck

Dec 26- Jan1 50% Jan 2- Jan 6 75% Jan 7 90% The above was last year's schedule, I'm sure it varies based on the day of the week Christmas falls on and how much inventory they have. Seems like this year they don't have as much on hand. I keep track of this each year. I was there 2 years ago when the doors opened and it was at 90%, that's almost free, got a lot of christmas lights that year - of course most of them don't work now, what is it about those darn minilights, anyways, good luck.

^ I agree with mattandsimone the numbers are suspect at best, I've been thru this with Target before, unless they can physically touch it I wouldn't trust em.

I have a scanner, if you would like it so you can scan these than PM me, I got a new scanner and my old one is just taking up space. let me know. *** edit for clarity

Kodak fixed mine, no charge, although mine was the battery door broke. Anyway, I'd send it in and have it fixed, $70 is reasonable.

Thanks, glad to be here, been a perimeter peruser for years, didn't know there was a support group, but I do see some of the same people when I go. I noticed one guy goes counterclockwise, I go clockwise, LOL.

For sure, that was last year's mark down schedule for xmas stuff only not the toys.
