Perimeter Perusing at Target (Target Clearance Deals) - 2010

[Lisa_B333]

My persistence finally paid off this morning. After checking once Wednesday and twice yesterday, I hit the 75% off right as the were beginning to mark it down this morning!! The staff were super nice too. The only disappointment was that the Lego's didn't come down any more in price- they stayed at 50%.

I was happy to have gotten "first pick" b/c there were a few items that they only had one of that I was able to get such as:

 

###Spongebob Sorry board game $4.48 087100270

###Neopets Didj Cartridge $7.48 204041086 (only Didj cartridge that I could find on clearance- wish they would have had more)

###Fisher Price Little People Garden Wedding $4.48 204030764

###Fisher Price Little People Airport $9.98

 

I also got a few of the items other have mentioned like the TRIO sets, a few My Little Pony items and the 80's Scene it Game.

 

By far, my favorite sale of the year (after Black Friday, of course!).

75% in Gainesville, VA

 

Culpeper still 30-50 as of a couple of hours ago but should be done by this afternoon. Gainesville had a better selection anyway.

[Wesiemom]

Massillon Target there was the most annoying rude man there, he was literally scooping stuff on the shelves and into his buggy to sell at the Flea market. Every one was annoyed, even the employees.

 

I did see a few employees getting stuff after they were off the clock, but not carts full.

 

My finds:

 

###086002440 Easy Bake oven frosting pen kit for $3.24 Orig. $12.99

I've never saw employees shopping in my store, but I have offered them stuff if they commented on wanting one and I had more than one. I've never had anyone take me up on it though because they all said that they could lose their job. When I got my 21 rolls of tape I tried to get the cashier to "put a few back" because "I didn't want them", but she wouldn't do it. Anyway.....

 

Decatur, AL is 75% off on MOST toys!! The rest will probably go in 2 weeks, because that's how they did it last year. Most went 75% off on the 15th and then the rest went 75% off on the 29th. Though they seem to be messing with me this year so it might not. I got everything I wanted and then a few more things I didn't need. LOL....

75% off here this morning. I was there at 8:05 and there were already people with full carts. Found some good stuff, although our store didn't have a lot of the things others are finding. Also the Target brand stuff stayed at 50% as well as most of the camping gear.

Michigan was 75% today. I got there at 9am, and saw a couple of people (not employees) with 5 carts each full of toys in the parking lot. How do you walk around the store and get to your car with 5 carts??!! One of the ladies DD, who looked about 3 wandered off down the parking lot and almost got hit by a car and she didn't even notice that her child wandered off. When I got inside, it was very picked over. In the 1 1/2 rows of clearance toys, 80% of it was gone. Two other shoppers came in and were just grabbing things and throwing them in their carts until they were full. Craziness! They mostly had Smurfs, little stuffed toys, flying Tinkerbell and the Wow Wee Alive Pandas and Dogs.

 

You never know for sure what time of day they mark down around here. I've seen them mark down toys at 10:00am and 2:00pm in previous years.

 

I managed to get the Christmas Story Train Set and a game called Exago, which is what I wanted.

[Sarasuzymama]

Ward Parkway was 75% this morning and there was still at lot left. Only me and one other nice lady shopping around 8:30-9:00. I saw one Lego set and it was still just 50% off.

Tustin, CA (both the Marketplace and the District) were 75% off this am. Limited supplies, but most on one or two aisles for easy shopping. The Marketplace store (Jamboree and Irvine Blvd) has about 6 of the SmartCycles, among other toys. I got the Sit and Spin Musical for %5.48, Parents GO-Bot for $8.44, a huge My Little Pony Playset for $11, a classic toy pull string bee for $3.48.

The Marketplace store had several of the Trio Castles when I left.

The Jewelry Armoires are really marked down--75% or more off. They are at the District Store they had about 5 different models, the largest one was $46. I thought it was a small dresser/lingere chest at first.

[tinkrbel]

you all are making me crazy :) Hope there's something left when I get out at 5, maybe I'll try and talk myself out at 4PM just in case the store is 75%. I really want 2 of teh christmas story trains, now need tor eread all posts and see if theres anything else I want to look for.

[frizz]

For North DFW folks:

 

Stacy Road Target:

Had all clearance toys marked 75%. They had a bunch of Monty Rex left ($14.xx) in this store. And two Christmas Story Lionel train sets ($34.xx). Other than that they had remote control cars, alphabet block set, caterpillar ball dropper, etc

 

W.Allen Target:

Had a small selection of 75% off toys. Found Clip-on activity table, Trio set, board games. Can't remember what else they had.

 

W.Plano Target:

Had a lot of toys on clearance but only select toys were 75% and they were mixed in with the 50% off toys. Not easy to find. They had a few markdown team members in the toys section who were marking the 30% off toys to 50% off.

 

I really wanted the Target brand fire truck, car set, dump truck set, Doll house, etc. But I didn't find them at 75% off anywhere. If anyone sees them 75% off in any of the DFW stores, please post. TY!

[Gator Pam]

Such great deals everyone is finding. Thanks for sharing!

I have edited those posts that did not include the ### up to this point for autolisting, but yes, anyone can go in and edit their own posts to do so if they want.

 

Welcome to all the new and lurking posters who are posting for the first time!

Once you have enough posts to see it, I hope you come join us in the GottaDeal lounge for some non-bargain shopping chatter. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l204/GatorPam/kaffee_klatsch.gif

if anyone picked up extra smart cycle games, I'd love to get Scooby-Doo, Dora, Diego, Elmo. Will pay for item + shipping. Was able to get Cars, Hot Wheels, Bob the Builder.

[jajsmom]

75% off at 9 mi.Pensacola and Pace. I got to the store at 9 afraid what I wanted would be gone. NO One was in toys. Just me do the happy dance. Got what I wanted. There was a Step 2 kitchen marked 50%. I had the guy check it and it was still 50%. I will try to list later when the little one naps.

[jewlzeez]

Has anyone in the santa fe area been to check out the toys. I'm wondering if they are 75 off today and if so if there is anything left?

[1angelnhvn]

Indianapolis is 75% off. I didn't get there until 9 and they were JUST starting to mark things down! WOO HOO!!

The 38th Street store is still 30 and 50. THey were just starting on the big stuff like table games etc and I couldn't wait any longer.....

[AshAJsmom]

Also forgot to mention the markdown team was marking several bathroom items such as towels and rugs. Some toys were mixed in with the 75% off and still scanned at 50% off such as the target firetrucks and Disney Cars race tracks. I wonder if they will go lower in price.

[kayabbymatt]

ARGH! My store is still @50% off I have been there twice today already and no one will tell me anything! I went this morning around 9 with all 3 kids and stopped back after dropping my oldest at preschool just now. This morning the markdown teams were all over the store - just not in toys and at mid-day there wasn't anyone. Is there a chance it could still go later today or tomorrow? You know its bad when my almost 2yr old says "NO TARGET"!!

 

good job to those that got great deals!!!

And I wish i could hit other stores around, but can't keep dragging the kids out

The Machesney Park, IL store went 75 today but it was total mayham by 815 this morning with like 10 people with carts full of stuff. If you are in the area and want something, you should go there soon. I do have to say their employees were great today though. Willing to help you find something you were looking for and even went to the front and brought back carts for people if they had too much stuff.

[sabbie]

My 75% of purchases below. Between yesterday and today I spent $500 but some might go back, I always grab anything I think I might want and decide later if I will keep it or offer it to friends to buy before returning it. One complaint, I had a heaping cart, an additional 4 bags, plus a kitchen and my 2 year old and asked if I could get assistance out and was told she didn't think so since no one was available. Luckily the women behind me was nice enough to put a few of my bags in her car and I pushed the cart and held on to my son (no room in the cart) and left. I was pissed! I saw plenty of employees shopping the toys and working around the store, you couldn't pull one for 5 minutes to help me to my car?
