scrabbler Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I saw the furniture you are talking about go 50% at ours. Maybe I should move to Texas! The chair we wanted was gone quick tho. It was a round modern looking black padded one. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlsc Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The school items at our WI store were still at 30% and put in an isle with other clearance items (ceiling fans, fake flowers) to make room for all the Halloween items. I was kind of hoping the flower stuff would have been 75% off but still only 50%. They had all the big inflateable pool items 75% off but didn't need any of that stuff. I bought a rocking folding chair for $7.49 (reg $30), some stationary type stuff and a couple of Nickelodeon crayola fun rolls (rang up $1.99 but still marked $5.58) @ 75%.

amber020682 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 the tanks were $2.88 at my target... some others had said that there were still reg. price at their stores, so I guess it varies on regions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mf47960 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just bought a Hillary Duff watch for $3.48 which was 75% off and a Thomas O'Brien fitted king sheet for $9.89 which was 75% the original price of $39.98!!

Gator Pam Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 The bar mitzvah is over and I'm now back! And, I'll no longer be avoiding Target as much as I as when I was saving every penny to pay for the bar mitzvah. So, I hope to be a more active part of this thread again.

allen6192 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 School stuff still 30% here also. I did get a toaster oven/coffee pot/griddle combo for $7.49! Don't know who I will give it to but it was too good a deal to pass up. Could make a good Graduation gift. Also got a child size blow up mattress/sleeping bag for $10.

guardado4 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Most of the big inflatable items for the pool were 75% at my Target. The giant castle for the pool was reg $99 was down to $24.99, the slide which was regular 60 something was 14 and they had a inflatable teeter toter for the pool for only $8. There were a few others, but I can't remember off the top of my head. I also got a nice fold-up chair for the patio for 3.74 and I would have bought more if I could have found more....

TnTWalter Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 edit - title of post added back in: "Our Target never has the deals people post all over the web about..." it's so frustrating. Trish Note to Trish: Don't know about other sites, but on GD we don't ever use the "post title" line, but it is built in to the forum software so you will see it as an option, but it won't show on the board when you post. - USC Becca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockfordmom Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Went to Target today and they have moved all of the school supplies all the way across the store and they are still 30% off. I heard a man talking to several employees and he told them fill one of the ends of the isles with as many backpacks as they could fit there and then he said - as they sell tomorrow we'll restock them. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it means that they are going to 75% off tomorrow. There's several school supplies that I've had my eye on and maybe a backpack or 2 for next year...

sherril Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Our school items were still 50% off yesterday but were very picked over and only 1 set of color pencils that werent opened and dumped. So i got color pencils, a sponge bob notebook (which both I gave dd now) crayons and markers (that I put away for Christmas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsieroll23 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't understand why when Target marks down the school supplies ours doesn't mark down the Crayola items. Does anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfordmom Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't understand why when Target marks down the school supplies ours doesn't mark down the Crayola items. Does anyone know why?Mine has a TON of Roseart stuff left and only a very few Crayola items and they are all larger or bonus sized things. I wonder why too.

heather12701 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Had to laugh at the title of this thread....It's so me! My latest "perimeter" bargain at Target was some really nice picnic baskets with dishes and cutlery marked down to 12.48 from 49.95. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that they will go down even more, they had quite a few. If the price goes down I'll buy more and take back the others. I'm going to use the baskets for christmas gifts and try to find some cheap cookies, nuts, etc to put in them. It should look pretty expensive!

I saw them at 50% off, but $25 each was too expensive for me. If I can find them at 75% off (as low as I expect them to go), I'll buy them for the end-of-the-year teacher gifts. Off to Target in about an hour and hoping I can still find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairydustcrissy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Well, School supplies were FINALLY being marked 75% off today....BUT.....they were having to change the prices individually in the system. I had picked up some things that were to be marked down, as well as some that had already been. Well normally even though they havent gotten to a particular item yet, it will still be in the system & scan at the right price. Not today If it didnt have the sticker yet, it wouldnt scan 75% yet. I asked at teh register if she could adjust them, since there were only 3 ppl working on it, and had only covered a very small area so far. I was told that I would have to wait. I explained to her that i was not gonna stand there and wait God knows how long for them to get that stuff done....ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC-Traderbear Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 That has happened to me too. I guess it's understandable that it might not be a good idea to scan people's stuff individually while they are working in the aisles (for fairness, maybe), but to me it seems like "what's the difference if you scan it, tag it and put it in my cart or put it back on the shelf." I have to say most of the time the workers are really friendly to me about it and are happy to change the ticket as long as they are working in the aisle anyway, but ONE time I got this really mean guy who recited some silly policy and told me he "would never get his work done if all he did was scan people's stuff", blah, blah, blah! Anyway, lots and lots of school stuff left here in KC. Backpacks did not go 75 today here though... just lots of markers, pencils, tablets, stickers erasers, sissors, etc... etc... My kids can now cut, draw, sticker and glue themselves silly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
