holly2hottie Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Just wanted to share, not sure if this was posted somewhere else, but as I was shopping I found Bob's busy day(Bob the Builder) and Scooby Doo frenzy in funland (or something like that) Vsmile smartridges. They were all in the clearance section of sporting goods(next to toy section). None of them were marked so I scanned them and sure enough they were scanning at $4.97. Great buy! So scan them where ever you see them to double check.
jcarr492 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Camping stuff was 75% off at the Victoria TX target! I got 5 youth Greatland sleeping bags for 2.48 each and they had the adult ones for 7.48(only 50%off) but turned the corner and they had the Eddie Bauer ones with a tote bag and cover shell and the sleeping bag marked for 7.48 from 29.99! Camping totes for 4.98. On the kids part, they had these child tents...one was a turtle for 6.19 from 24.99 and the princess castle tents for girls that sleep 2-3 kids for 13.98 from 25.xx. In the restore and restyle, they had full size sheet sets in flannel, winter print, pink with snowmen and blue with snowflakes for 50% off at 9.98.
natasha Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I went this evening and got my kids some bath gift sets marked down to 2.22 and got myself a black and decker lid opener regularly 39.99 for 9.99.
Gator Pam Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 Great finds everyone! I really wanted that Calphalon set, but it was long gone from the Gator Town store.
Crazy Mama Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I found on an inside endcap in the baby area some of those disposable changing pads, the big ones. They rang up "not on file" so I asked and they gave me the package for like 70 cents. So it was only one thing, but hey - pretty neat. Our feel & learn diapers are still on clearance though for $8, I was hoping for cheap not like 10% off. I will keep on looking.
cmh1919 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Got a Black and Decker Travel Iron for $6.74. I had been eyeing it when it was 12.98. Went to another Target and found it in the iron section with no sale tag. It scanned for $6.74! I love it when they miss their markdowns! I believe all the Black and Decker kitchen gadgets (can opener, etc) were 75% off.
jeninpa Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Went to my local (40 miles away) Target tonight and all I found were these cute electronic dice in the girls clothing section against the wall that were $1.99 marked down to $0.48. They looked cute....didn't know what the kids would use them for but the price was right so I figured maybe I'd add them to their Valentine gifts. They had a whole section of this brand of stuff 75% off. It was called Dottie loves... The only thing I really seen of interest were the big feather boas that would be soooo cute for pics of my girls but they weren't on sale, they were $14.99. They had the glamour shots done with some and they got $200 out of me,lol. I'd love to just take my own! They had some make-up and different little things that would still make cute gifts or party favors though! The diapers were only 15% off.
chan1 Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 My local Target has: CONAIR Massage set for $.9.99 ( 39.99 regular). Excellent Kit has lots of attachments: manicure/peducure sub-kits. Electronic Dart Board 2.24 Lot of winter clothing Mens and Womens < $5. Hubby got a great sweatshirt for 4.94 Gillette Men's shaving kit 3.99 Slim fast shakes 2 for $10.00 Each pack as 6+2 bonus. -chan1
bugsette Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 wow you did great went to my target on Friday.... not anything great
Gloey Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 I don't get it....my Target never has ANYTHING on sale! This is discrimination.
fairydustcrissy Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I got some of the Dottie Loves stuff as well. They had sashes that say PRINCESS. Picked up 2 of those for .74 each. we will be going to Disney on Vday, so i thought they would like to wear them in the parks. Picked up a nightlite for .74 as well. Camping stuff is still 50% off here, they were just marking it 50% off when I was there.

I went to my Target today and bought 2 of the Eddie Bauer sleeping bags and a few other camping supplies that were marked down. My other Target was only 50% off of their camping supplies though, but they had kids sweats for 1.98, a Conair foot spa set that included 8 pc manicure & pedicure set, and paraffin bath for 9.98 reg 39.99, a Madagascar Chia pet for 3.98, and a Gizmo can opener for 4.98. My husband was with me and he couldn't believe all the great deals!! Now he finally understands why I start my Christmas shopping so early.

WAY too addicting........ Oh yeah, I only went there to get the cross cut shredder that's on sale this week for $19 (which is a good deal by itself)
Guest stopme Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Can I just say this is my favorite new way to shop at Target--just walk around the perimeter and scope out all the clearance stuff. We picked up deals on Secret deodorant Cereal Tissues Kid's bath/gift set I also got a ton of kids sweats for $1.48 each and a two-pair set of winter pajamas for $4.24. Such a deal! And I got the Tide for $4 but forgot to check the spaghetti sauce.
USC Becca Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 You guys inspired me to take a trip to Target last night and I got great stuff! Black & Decker automatic jar opener (for my grandpa): reg. $34.99, paid $8.72 6 pack of Xmas gift bags: reg. $3.99, paid $0.39. Plus earlier in the day I got 4 12-packs of Pepsi and 4 bags of Tostitos FAR from Sav-ons, and free Tampax and Always from Walgreens. It was a great (cheap!) day!
Spring_Mommy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Yesterday I picked up a pair of boys black gloves for .11 (wow!!) and boys long jons for $3.82. Don't you just love Target!!!!
tootsieroll23 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I haven't been to Target in awhile. I was spending more than I was saving. I found myself buying things just because they were such a good deal even if we didn't need it.
Crazy Mama Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah I don't think I see the middle of the store too much - just go walk against the walls then hit the baby section or whatever section that I want to see or went for. LOL! I got a diaper pail that was $15 for $10. While not too "great" of a deal - I needed it.
Gator Pam Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 I am so glad y'all are finding the newbie guide to shopping Target helpful. Keep in mind though, that 'perimeter' also means the endcaps of aisles in departments in the middle of the store that are not on the main aisles. For instance, if there is a partial wall between boys and girls clothes, there may be clearance endcaps near there. And, even if not marked in any way or on an endcap, scan anything that may interest you. Something may still be shelved in it's regular place and not marked, yet be on clearance already. Have fun and enjoy the 'thrill of the hunt!'
scot26505 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I've been doing this "perimeter perusing" for a while -- I never knew it had a name until now! This weekend I scored two Scene It game packs - Turner Classic Movies, and HBO - for $4.97 each, marked down from $19.99!!!
mjmcca Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I look all over target because especially in the clothing department you can find items on significant sales that are in with the regular clothes.
Crazy Mama Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks! I'd spend all day there if I looked everywhere. I try to hit the major back walls and the sections that interest me. I have seen the other areas - pretty much endcaps that aren't on the main aisles. I haven't had any luck with random stuff from teh shelf but maybe one day!!

What state would this be?.....almost worth an airline ticket to go there lmao!
Cru Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 WoW! I'm blown away by some the amazing deals people are getting at Target. I do have one simple request: Instead of saying 'I went to my Target', is it possible to list the town and state? I live in the metro Detroit area and I have 5 Targets all within 20 minutes of my house. Many times I've travelled from store to store to find sale/clearance items and only end up burning gas. Thanks and keep up the bargain hunting!
nubeedeallover Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Women's Purple Cherokee cable knit sweater original $14.99 bought for $1.78 :)
jadedmomof2 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Has anyone seen any of the $19.99 Vidsters in their local stores? I have a bunch of coupons for $15 off the Vidster(printed inside of Pepsi cases) and I would love it if I could start Christmas shopping already.
