A few different posters on this thread mentioned getting a roasting oven for 75% off and also a vacuum (a Dirt Devil one, I think). I looked for them today and couldn't find them. I am wondering if the Targets here are just starting to mark down those sections and that is why I haven't seen them yet. Either that or I am just not meant to have them.

I'm glad you found the LPS set! :) I would love to find the LPS Around the World set. That is one thing that I have yet to come across in trips to Target; including on BF.

From what I recall, it's in July when they reset the section in anticipation for Christmas. All I want to know is where the heck were all the toys before Christmas that I am now seeing at 30% off?

And when you are pregnant and have a craving there is no such thing as worrying about a deal....you'll pay whatever it takes to get the goods! lol

When I bought them @ 75% off, they were with the other Barbies. This was at the store at TV/Grant. Today (same store), they were with the remaining Christmas clearance items. These were the ones in the red satiny tutu that has gold stars ( or snowflakes?) on it. I also saw the Barbies that are in plaid flannel jammies with a penguin (also mixed in with regular Barbie stuff). This was at the same Target last week when they were 75% off. I forgot to look today for anymore of those.

I kind of have a rule of thumb and if it's something I absolutely love, I'll go ahead and buy it at 30% off. If it's something that I find at 50% off and just feel like I'll die if I don't get it, I won't wait until 75% off. I've been burned too many times. Now if I get stuff for 75% or better, I've hit the motherload!

I'm back from my mini tour of Targets in Tucson. I hit the stores at Old Spanish Trail/Harrison, Tanque Verde/Grant and Broadway/Craycroft. Christmas is pretty much non-existent in all of them. Although I did manage to score 8 of the Cranium Pop 5 games at the Broadway Store and some 15 foot outdoor extension cords. These will be great considering my house may end up looking like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation given all of the decorations I bought this year! I also saw 8 of the Cranium games at the TV/Grant store but decided I didn't need 16 of them. If anyone is interested, they are in the toy clearance area mixed in with some AZ Cardinals type sporting goods type items. And yes, they scanned $2.49 ( I checked while I was there). Both OST/Harrison and TV/Grant had TONS of toys. I noticed some for 50% off but mostly still at 30% off. I asked the sales clerk at the OST/Harrison store when they might be going and got the usual we don't know it's whenever it drops into our system. Oh, the OST/Harrison store had oodles of the Thomas the Train Holiday Sets but they were mixed in with the toy items and were still almost $30. They have already reset all of the toy sections in those 3 stores so it would have to be soon. I would imagine they are going to start preparing for inventory and there is no way they are going to want all of that in their store when inventory rolls around. I also got 6 more of the Christmas Barbies that ended up being $0.49 each. There were 12 but I was feeling generous and didn't arm wrestle for all of them. I felt cheerful after scoring 8 of the Cranium games for 90% off. lol A lady had gotten two down. Then another younger lady with a baby came by, picked up 2 of them and then came back for more when she realized how much they were. I offered her 4 of the 10 I had in my shopping cart. And one last thing, the VTech VSmile sets are now $24.98 (woohoo, half price!) at the OST/Harrison. Yes, I FINALLY got it and only paid half price!!! I also had a leftover raincheck from a BF item that never came in. I bought a Smartridge with it. At first they didn't want to do it because it didn't say a subsitute was allowed but I pushed the issue. I said, it's not my fault you never got the item back in and I lost out (little did they know about Amazon...haha). Anyway, I said the least you can do is discount this cartridge since it's also a learning toy. I got a Smartridge normally for $19.98 for $10.00 Yeah!!! The cashier and the first girl that came over both said no and I pushed the issue. I know there are many new clerks at the different stores and don't know all of the ins and outs. I feel it's my job to help educate them. :) I didn't find my roaster. I think it's just not meant that I get one. I also didn't find any gonga deal vacuums. I hope these finds help someone. If you need more information, please feel free to ask. If I know, I'm happy to answer.

That has got to be the funniest story ever!!! lol

:gdyes:

Overall the customer service at the Targets in my area is pretty good. Everyone once in awhile you get one with an attitude. I've had some not want to do price adjustments but if it's within a $5.00 threshold, they are not supposed to question it. This is what I heard a supervisor tell a cashier one time. Now as far as an item that is showing not on file, that is an item that is so old that it no longer shows in the system. I would've challenged it (I'm not criticizing anyone so please don't take offense). The manager was being lazy because there is a way they can look it up in another system; not just at the self-scanner. In my experiences here, just because one Target has it for a blow-out price, another in the area may not. So even though there is a blow out deal on here in one location, it may not be that way in our local Target. (Although I am hoping I get a roaster for $12.48 and a new vacuum for $6.xx....lol) I think you are doing the right thing by calling corporate. Target prides themself on good customer service. I would've been livid if I was in your shoes to be treated so poorly and made to feel like you were trying to take advantage.

I found this on the Official Kohl's Code thread. It worked earlier today. grcp5007

Thanks for posting this. I love the candles from Kohls. :)

Some more candles that I just came across... http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/furnitureandhomedecor/seasonal/candlesandcandleholders/candles/PRD~254891/Red%20Bell%20Candle%20Wreath.jsp# http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/254891?wid=230&hei=230&op_sharpen=1 $4.00 http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/furnitureandhomedecor/seasonal/candlesandcandleholders/candles/PRD~254889/Pine++Berry+Candle+Wreath.jsp http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/254889?wid=230&hei=230&op_sharpen=1 $4.00 http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/furnitureandhomedecor/seasonal/candlesandcandleholders/candles/PRD~254835/Winter%20Woods%20Mosaic%20Jar%20Candle.jsp http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/254835?wid=230&hei=230&op_sharpen=1 $2.60 http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/furnitureandhomedecor/seasonal/candlesandcandleholders/candles/PRD~254887/Sugared+Fruit+Candle+Wreath.jsp http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/254887?wid=230&hei=230&op_sharpen=1 $4.00 There were also some pillars for $1.60 each, if you are interested. UPDATE: I just ordered all of these and they were all in stock. :) There is a 15% off code in the Kohl's Official Thread and it works even without a Kohl's card. HTH someone.

That's so odd because I bought the Hollyberry one (I think this was the one) and it smelled awesome as it was burning. And not just in the area of the candle but throughout my whole kitchen, dining room and living area. Maybe some of the batches had more oils than others.

I was able to put them all (except Apple Pie) in my cart but I know sometimes it can say an item is NLA when you check out. HTH :) I had purchased one of these candles and it was awesome. You can really smell the fragrance when it's lit.

For anyone still needing this, they are now $7.00 at Wal-Mart! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7801982 http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/65/35/69/27/0065356927067_215X215.jpg And it's eligible for Free STS Shipping. :)

My pleasure. :)

Anyone have any information regarding Tucson stores? I'm busy packing and just can't break away to go search for myself. Any information would be appreciated. TIA

I bought extras of the Barbies in the red tutu for TFT. If you need one, I'm happy to send it to you. Lemme know. :)

I saw a Make Way for Noddy Smartridge on clearance. One store I was at had it for $9.98 (half price).

Thanks for these!

Thank you for the feedback. I am planning on going out later on this afternoon/evening. I may even wait until tomorrow as for some reason, I'm feeling things aren't going to be reduced until tomorrow.

I thought I was in the minority about loving to find awesome deals. I have friends that just do not understand. It was refreshing to know there are others like me out there. :)
