Gator Pam Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 I don't believe a stroller will go to 90% off. The lowest it will hit is 75% off. Unless some inventory is found a year or so after it went salvage, the only items I see reach 90% off are holiday/seasonal items.
becca0884 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 mine has the FP infant to toddler stroller still for $62.48 I am hoping they might mark it down one more time. How long do they let it go before they usually mark down to 90% this has been at $62.48 for 4 weeks now just wondering if they will lower it againAt the Target I work at, they have already gone salvage (rings up at 0.00) and $62.48 or whatever it was the lowest it went.
KC-Traderbear Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 At most store in KC, here was the holiday clearance schedule for the past 3 years... Always 50% off the day after Christmas (at least to my knowledge). THEN, in 2003, stores here went to 75% on Jan. 2; in 2004 it was Jan. 1; and last year, it was Dec. 31st. In 2003, stores here went to 90% on Jan 7; in 2004, it was Jan. 5; and last year, it was Jan. 6. We have an ungodly number of Target stores in this city... many are newer stores in very new areas of the suburbs. They always have tons of holiday stuff left (for every holiday, not just Christmas). I don't know if that has anything to do with the markdown schedule or not. I just know that I don't really even pay attention to serious shopping until it's 75% off, and I still know that I will find lots and lots of stuff. I'm sure that will change as more people realize just how good the deals can get. (At least my husband hopes more people realize it, so that there isn't as much stuff for me to drag home and store!!) LOL
Gator Pam Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 KC-Traderbear, thanks! That sounds pretty accurate. So, unless we hear something definite, we should start stalking the Chr-stmas seasonal items on New Year's Eve for 75% off, and make sure to post it if e see it.
dot2x Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 dot2x-The only St Ives products that were on clearance were a blemishing cream and an exfoliating scrub. Thank you for checking :)
meandmamakitty Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 One Target in my area already had Christmas stuff marked down 30%, but the other Target store that is 5 miles away didn't.......
kdaven Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 My target here in Northern California has the girls 2packs of seasonal PJ's on sale for $4.88. Great Price!!
justjessie99 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I got EA sports NBA live 06 for Xbox game ...for only $7...Nice little stocking stuffer for hubby.
msharpsteen Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I think the baby clearance is about to gear up-I saw a couple of clearance items already-a crib and a dresser (sorry I didn't get a price, I didn't need either and I was in such a hurry last night). Wanted to give all the new and expectant moms out there a heads up. I've been holding off on buying any gear for baby-on-the-way in hopes that Target would have some great buys right after Christmas when the new stuff for 2007 starts rolling out!! If anybody sees a red sticker anywhere near a pack-n-play, please let me know!!
bamaprincess Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I saw the clearance baby stuff, too. It was the glider rocker, and the matching furniture that was on display. I got a chocolate fondue pot in the regular kitchen appliance/gadget aisle for 4.98 it was marked clearance. It is the kind that uses a candle.
DisneyGirl2005 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 The baby department always transitions in January, so there should be some major markdowns coming soon. :)
atisikitabasket Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 what % do the stroller car seat combo's usualy get marked down when they go clearance. Do they go really fast?
o_arlene Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 My due date is january 24 hope I can find something before that...what its usually on sale???
jadedmomof2 Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 what % do the stroller car seat combo's usualy get marked down when they go clearance. Do they go really fast? Just buy the carseat that fits in your car the best, and that is the easiest for you to use. The strollers that come with carseats generally suck. They're big, bulky, and well, they suck.
USC Becca Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I can't wait for the clearances to start up again so this thread will be really active again :)
trbarginhunter Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 The plastic plates that have dividers and look like mini cafeteria plates are on clearance at our Target--around $2 each in a variety of colorful stripes/solids. My DD LOVED those when she was little--so I picked up a couple for the toddler next door whose Birthday is in March! THe Memory Makers snowflake wreath and ornaments where $14 each--not a great discount from the original $20, but a cute gift idea if you need one....
KC-Traderbear Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 They were setting the toy clearance aisle this morning at one of our Targets. Nothing is being stickered yet, but they are compiling the toys, and I'm sure that either later today or tomorrow they will start to mark at least some of the toys down to 30% off, which isn't always that big of a deal, but it's a start!!
bamaprincess Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 KC-Tradebear, Which toys are going to be clearanced? Is it mainly the ones in the blue boxes or some others, too???
nikkilugi Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 KC - where in KC are you located? I live in S. Olathe and frequent the S. Target at 119th and Strang Line or the reg Target over off of I-35 and 151st St by the Great Mall.
dpape Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 My Target had toddler slippers on clearance for 5.58 (original 7.99) - a good find since I was going to buy them anyway (last minute gift request)
KC-Traderbear Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 They were setting the Kool Toyz (I think they are called)-- blue boxed stuff. I also saw lots of board games. They were just starting, so it made me think that the marks probably won't happen until tomorrow. There were a lot of workers scanning stuff and getting backstock on the shelves. I know that last year it was right before Christmas that the toys started to be clearanced that's what makes me think it will happen this week. But, then I'm no genie, so maybe this year will be different! (I am in Overland Park, and Target hop between about 9 Targets-- all within 15 minutes of my house.) Although, 30% is really nothing to shout about. A lot of times, you can get 30% during the Christmas season in their regular ads. The real popular Christmas toys aren't always part of the initial markdown, so I wouldn't run out and drive any extended way to get to a Target for 30% off on Toys. I've sold on ebay for 3 years now during the 6-7 weeks before Christmas based off my stash from the previous Christmas. I just can't do it next year though. I had my third baby last Jan. and it is tooooo time consuming with 3 kiddos. It's an incredibly profitable thing to do if you have the time though. You wouldn't believe how much money mommies and daddies shell out for hard to find toys!!
mollymoo Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I seen alot of clearance in the kitchen area. The Hello Kittie appliances were all 30% off. I was just running in to get diapers so I didn't get a good look, but I'm so glad the clearance is slowly coming back.
butterflii Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 The boxed giftsets were 75% off at my Target today. I picked up a set of 6 wine glasses regularly $20 for $5 today. This Target is slower than most, so markdowns typically are a day or 2 prior to other Targets.

my2kidsmom Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I was doing some last minute shopping at our Target tonight. I noted that the instruments were 50% off. Also, I saw some of the baby furniture marked down, but can't remember the price. I saw some other things on clearnace, like the Christmas homewares, but I didn't really need a spice rack or martini set so I can't remember the price. I think they were marked down pretty good. I bought a Shark iron for $13 (reg $19). I can't wait for the good clearance prices to start! I like an hour and a half from the nearest Target!!!
bamaprincess Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I only have one Target within an hour from me, but it is really close to my office, so I will definitely have to check on all this new clearance stuff tomorrow!
threedinvest Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Can someone please tell me where or what page to find the Target coupons for grocerys? this forum is great to read, just dont have time to read it all again! Thanks in advance!
allen6192 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Here's one of themhttp://coupons.50webs.org/
happygal Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 And yes, it is the red boxed gift items. They are 75% off at mine too. Cute martini glass sets for $5, plenty of the wine glasses and decanters, too.
