Donnask8pro Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Did anyone see the news on Target sticker price codes? Posting below.. Target (aka Tar-zhay)http://www.rather-be-shopping.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/target.pngTarget, the favorite store for those who think they’re above Walmart, is a good place to put your code cracking skills to the test. Thanks to Snopes for helping set the record straight with Target price tags. Here is what you need to know in order to get the best deal:Prices ending in .99 – that is full price baby!Prices ending in 8, as in .98, .88, etc. – this is a marked down price of an item on clearance.Prices ending in 4, as in .24, .04, etc. - this also is a marked down price of an item on clearance. At one point this was considered the final markdown price but that is not accurate anymore.Check out the tiny print! - check out the above image of the Target price tag. See the tiny number in the circle I drew? That is the markdown percentage of the item from the original price. In this example it says 50, as in 50% off the original price. Target marks down items by the following increments, 15%, 30%, 50%, 75% and 90% off. Typically an item will stay at the current markdown percentage for 10-14 days before getting marked down further.

The first 3 items are urban legends, though they often happen to be correct, it isn't a "rule."The last item is partially correct, that little circle is the percent off, but the progression of increments it lists isn't necessarily true, plus it is rare to find 75% or 90% now. From my experience non-seasonal clearance usually gets marked down every 2 weeks on that department's markdown day, though that isn't always true either, sometimes it is 1 week, sometimes 3, sometimes other. 1
boredbread Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Anyone see 90% on Easter today? Saw some reports on a less reliable blog than everyone here.
lovetoshopCA Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Anyone see 90% on Easter today? Saw some reports on a less reliable blog than everyone here.Since they just marked down to 70% yesterday at most places, I would be shocked to see it 90% before Monday.They like to give it the weekend to clear out most of it first.
kristinraye Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Still 70% in Minneapolis, but since some stores did go today (I saw an actual price scanner picture on All Thing's Target's FB), I would think tomorrow is a good possibility.
lovetoshopCA Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Well, I'll be darned...1 of my 2 stores did indeed go 90% today. And, yes, it just went 70% yesterday. Signs were still 70%. For those around me, it is the 2 story store in Pasadena, and they had the most left. Makes it tempting for me to drive out to La Verne & San Dimas to check, but I hate to waste the gas. This store has a lot of tablecloths and such. candy was still 50%.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Roswell nm 90% including dollar spot!!! Still just 50% on candy. Figure 70% on Monday... Don't forget to print out M&ms and starburst/skittles coupons on target.com Best score was Chapstick brand Chapstick 4 for .49. They have other cutesy brands but I stuck with chapstix
fluffkin79 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Roswell nm 90% including dollar spot!!! Still just 50% on candy. Figure 70% on Monday...Was it the black circles that went to 90%?
tinkrbel Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I found some cute rabbit with pom pom tail dog toys at 90 today .49 but nothing else worth scanning.
kathytheshopper Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 90%/70% here. Dollar spot 70%. Got a lot of those chapstick sets. THose are fun.
boredbread Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Easter 90% here, easter candy 70%, dollar spot (black dot) 70%.
keej Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Cute Mickey and Minnie plush for .49. 90off toys, household70 off food and dollar spot in Ann Arbor miBThese bags were also .49. Found in reg toy aisle
alexusrydr Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 90/50 here in Lakeland (Central Florida) and dollar spot was salvaged
kathytheshopper Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Easter and dollar spot salvaged although I found one Easter item and it still rang up 90% off. Good deal on the Ziploc bags on sale. I wanted the snack size bags for my OCC shoebox items. 300 count for $6.49 and if you buy three you get a $5.00 gift card. I noticed .50 coupons on some of the boxes and they worked so I got the 300 count for 5.99 each and the $5.00 gift card. A really good deal! Also they had a price markdown on the 4 pk kids Peanuts toothbrushes for $1.49. Good price for a set of 4. Bought 8 sets for the shoeboxes.
lovetoshopCA Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Lots of food on clearance. Shelved and frozen. Varies from store to store.
tinkrbel Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) does anyone know when electronics was last marked down? do they usually jump from 10-30% off or slower? I'm watching some tv's for my aunt Edited May 5, 2014 by tinkrbel
lovetoshopCA Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 does anyone know when electronics was last marked down? do they usually jump from 10-30% off or slower? I'm watching some tv's for my auntSaw them mark the Westinghouse ones down on Monday. But that is all they have left here. Everything else is gone except floor models.
lovetoshopCA Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 They've started marking down some of the summer stuff in seasonal. Not much, but they should start doing more since it is almost time for them to set Back to School. Hard as that is to believe.
lovetoshopCA Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Am I missing something? Where did everyone go?
Stowasser Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I haven't much in clearance worth mentioning lately, its kinda of sad
tinkrbel Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Found a few bathing suits marked 70% off but they were few mixed between others at 30% off. One store had them mixed with regular priced ones. Merona tops and merona or xhilaration bottoms
rachealb Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Marking summer seasonal at our store also- some solar rock lights (I think?) were 50% off, and patio umbrellas marked down too but i cant remember how much. Looks like they were getting ready for back to school in our store also, hoping for some good summer clearance!
freesia39 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Am I missing something? Where did everyone go?I haven't seen any good stuff lately.
momlori Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 July 4th usually starts the summer markdown. I am looking for a pair of chair pads.
txsupermom Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Saw markdowns in electronics. Ones I remember were PSP Pirates of Caribbean down 50%, lots of cases for phones/tablets 30%-70% off, electronic bracelet for storing medical info marked down 70%, mini speakers for ipods 50-70% off, some PS3 games, but can't remember which titles were 50% off. If you're already in store, might be worth a look. Picked up the Champion drawstring backpacks for 1.48 down from 5 bucks. These were a great find as my sons are always needing something lightweight to carry around a change of clothes/shoes from pool hopping or tournaments. Edited June 17, 2014 by txsupermom
1angelnhvn Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 The few stores I've been to lately have their patio stuff already marked down 50% off and almost everything is gone! Pretty disappointed in that as I'm always able to grab something big at 70% off. Pretty sad. Items that I have been watching (bedding) seems like they have been marked 30% off for almost a month now. I guess it's good I can walk in and out with only what I really went in for. Missing the good deals..... 1
