twinmom Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 My experience has been that when you enter the first three numbers or so...nothing happens (the screen remains "scan" or whatever it says) -- but if you just keep inputting the numbers, the screen eventually shows what you've put in; so just punch in the whole number without wondering about the rest, hit "enter" and it should come up -- there are tons of those things that are broken tho...so you never know...he he...what I do is write down the codes on all the stuff I'm interested in, then park myself in front of a scanner for a few minutes, and figure out what's on sale -- saves me having to load things into the cart only to return them to the shelves if there's not a deal worthy...kwim?Thanks for the tip - I keep loading the Jr. golf clubs and finding they still haven't been marked down and then hauling them back!
twinmom Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 If anyone is in the South Jersey Sicklerville area: The new Target on Cross Keys Road has scooters for $21.00 as a new store deal - Original Razor, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Hello Kitty, Bratz, etc. With the coupon from the toy catalog - they are only $16!!
SoCalCyclist Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I'm soooooo disappointed! I'm new to this whole Target deal shopping thing but I've been reading up and learning. So I go to my local Target this morning armed with two pages of marked down stuff. Found a scanner that worked and started entering in DPCI and UPC numbers but nothing was in stock. Nothing! Kept getting "AISLE: N/A" and "STOCKROOM: NO". Must have punched in at least 30 different items and not one was there. Oh well, guess my Target just sucks!

I never found anything spectacular when I first started out, now I am very happy with my finds!! :) Sometimes it's just very hit or miss.
scrabbler Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 It is very hit or miss. It is nice to read about all the possibilities but the truth is, if your store is very busy and people buy things at the regular price or at early markdowns, there just isn't going to be the great deals you can sometimes find. There are also times when I think either the employees watch for the great deals or things are pulled quicker than I think. I have had the misfortune to watch items and there can be 4 of em at 30% and even 50% and they will just sit there. Then suddenly they are just GONE! So it is definitely a test of patience and will. LOL
Junebug2 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 That happens to me a lot too. I'm lucky enough to have two Target stores near by. One has MUCH better clearance than the other. Keep trying.
Bunniq Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I am heading to Target this weekend. I will report any good finds. I wanted to add that keep trying and looking. I've found some items by luck as they were hidden in odd places. So I have started looking very close as I walk the store.
becca0884 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 The Halloween clearance shelves on the salesfloor were empty at my store. You should of seen the pallets and pallets of stuff that they were sending as salvage today!
theboyzmom Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Just got back from Target. Ours does NOT have one of those cool scanners you can type the codes in to I did find a very cute and helpful clerk who tried to track down one of those BBQ crockpots, but no luck. In fact, they didn't have ANY of the items I found out about on here And our Halloween clearance is GONE, but boy has Christmas moved in! lol I did get Monopoply for $10, so it wasn't a total loss...and then I went to Old Navy....WOW!!!
jadedmomof2 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 My Target has a bunch of Xbox video games for 30-50% off. I found Curious George, NCAA football, baseball, and basketball, Harry Potter goblet of fire, and many other more adult type games.
shopping mom Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I went tonight but no good clearance at mine today, I did use the coupon and got the monopoly here and now, and I bought DD a magna doodle and got the free one with the coupon. I will try another Target tomorrow I have the day off!!YEAH!!
lis415529 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I have a question about the toy book coupons. Will Target accept manufacturer's coupons and their toy book coupon for the same product? I have 2 coupons for $5.00 off any cranium game and $5.00 off cranium giggle gear and was wondering if I could use those with the toy book coupons?
jedigirl21 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 They had Graco booster seats for $9 so I got one for my DS3. We're always needing an extra carseat/booster seat. I think they just discontinue the material and when that happens they clearance the product. Put a smile on my face! :)
bamaprincess Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Jedigirl21, Do you have the number and/or upc code for the Booster Seat. I will be needing one for my son who is about to turn 3.

Yes you can combine a mfrg coupon with a Target coupon. I do that with my groceries at Target all the time. Score for you!
JazzMama Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Not much @ my Target ... did get a Cranium Family Fun game for $4.99 ($9.99 sale - $5 Target coupon)
lis415529 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Yes you can combine a mfrg coupon with a Target coupon. I do that with my groceries at Target all the time. Score for you!Thank You I was hoping that i could do that. I guess I'm off to target now.
red69 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I went yesterday and found tons of the Archer Farms tall clear plastic canisters of Milk Chocolate pretzels, Candy Apple premium caramel clusters and Candy Corn premium caramel clusters, these were left from Halloween and scanned .39 cents(forgot how to do the cents sign!). Found them in the regular aisles mixed with all the others. Exp dates 5/07
nikkilugi Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Went to Target today and found a KC Chiefs Tailgating table orig. 69.99 for $17.48. It has its own carrying case and everything - will work great with camping. I also got a V-Tech Pooh learning toy for $6.50 originally $24.99. I am pretty happy.
Gator Pam Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Hi all! I'm back online (still visiting FIL in Fort Lauderdale though) after competing in the cook-off. I've been AFK for several days. Did y'all miss me? Welcome to everyone new! Please don't let 75 pages of messages in this thread overwhelm you. All you need is to read post number 1 of this thread (what I call the Newbie Guide) and then the most recent posts. If you go back more than a day or two, most of those deals will tend to be gone. I so wanted that BBQ crockpot as a Chr-stmas present for Paul, but I don't even have the $25.00 right now. Ah well...

I missed out on the crockpot as well, but maybe next time!

Glad to have you back.
Donnask8pro Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I did not look back but does anyone have the code for the crockpot? I assume I ask them to look up the code and they can tell me if there are any in the store, right? Thanks. I love this thread
kp_blondie Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Ialady44, the DPCI is 072-04-1436. Hope you are able to find it!! If you have several Targets nearby, go to any one of them and go to the Guest Service desk and ask them to do a merchandise locate for you and give them the DPCI, they will be able to tell you which stores would have any in stock.Donnask8pro, I believe this is the information you are looking for on the BBQ crockpot. It is at the top of the same page of postings as your post asking for the information.
Betsy Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Anybody got the DPCI for the Euro Pro Deep Fryer (SS) that is listed on the schumanfamily site on 11/5?
kp_blondie Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Oh boy, am I going to be in trouble now. Just joking. I just applied for & got approved for a Red Card at Target. I love Target!
becca0884 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Anybody got the DPCI for the Euro Pro Deep Fryer (SS) that is listed on the schumanfamily site on 11/5?I think it is 072-04-0043, but I am not totally sure. :\
Donnask8pro Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 sorry, you can tell I'm overwelmed with this website. THanks
