zeebas Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Hi all, I have to vent Both of my kids birthdays are in feb. I always got 90 % of their toys, at target 75 % off........Last year the target's by my house did not go 75 .........This year they have ALOT of toys on clearance left, like 3 full aisles, BUT they are 30 % off!! Anyone have any ideas.........things they remember from other years ???? Thanks zeeba
cmh1919 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 One of our local Targets was 75% yesterday, the others were still at 30 and 50. Hopefully soon, the others will follow!
makeupgirl Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Target #92 (Wichita, KS) is marking toys, sporting goods and I believe automotive today. Yesterday was mens & housewares (75% off). Got some unbelievable deals. 6 pc. Caphlon (with lids) $44.98, reg. 179. Conaire Spa w/ parafin wax dip & nail salon kit $9.98, reg. 39. SO EXCITING!!
Guest RedStateGirl Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 It varies by store depending on their inventory. I did find a few goodies but not alot, YET!! Although I did get an Isaac Mizrahi 100% cashmere turtleneck sweater for me for $2.46, originally $49.99, so I scored a bit yesterday
jedigirl21 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I have found that even though the sign says 30% or 50%, sometimes they are marked down more than that. I think some of the toys are marked down more quickly than others...at least that is the way our local store seems to be.
inluvstill Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I just walked in from 2 targets and one was 30% with a few items ringing up 75%. The other target was 75%. I think it is weird that they are so different and only about 5 miles away from each other. My daughter's best friend's birthday is in Feb and we were able to get her a ton of stuff. That was fun. More girl stuff is left than boys but very nice stuff. Also, found lots of baby/toddler items on clearance, including diapers. I spent about $40 and got 2 polly pocket sets, a my little pony set, a Winx club fairy (?) set, matchbox carwash, matchbox garage, 2 jumbo packs of size 6 diapers, 2 mega packs of pamper easy ups, 6 pack of toddler bowls and a step 2 convertable sofa with 2 cup holders (turns into a bed). I am pleased. This target went from 30 to 75% in just a matter of a few days so hang in there everyone!!! Happy hunting!
Junebug2 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I agree. I've been to target a few times in the past week and have noticed you need to scan the items to see what the real price is. Many of them were lower than the marked price. :)
okpooky Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 They were marking all clearance toys to 75% off at the Target in Owasso, Oklahoma this morning. Some were scanning 30% off and some 50% but the man was in the process of marking things down and told us to let him scan them and he would put a new sticker on them. Got some great stuff!
JazzMama Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 75% in Jonesboro, AR today too...and boy were the aisles crowded! Scored some really good things for my daughter's birthday. I'm still kicking myself about the Leapster L-Max (we got it for Christmas at $79.99 and now there are about a dozen of them left at $22.50).
Karmarose Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Yesterday the signs said 30% off, but a few toys I found here and there were 50% off or more. I bought a story telling Carebear for at least 50%.
mdsmithers Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Yesterday Overland Park, KS 75% Independence, MO 30% Saw the same items at both stores. About 20 miles apart. Glad I tried the OP store first, plenty left at Independence at 30%, and I always check the price, don't trust the signs.
INDY Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 At the Nora Target on the northside of Indy they lowered the prices on most toys to 75%....they were going quickly.
trob67 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Jacksonville store signage was at 30% but they were working on it. However this particular store didnt have the toys I was looking for on clearance!
JayDouble Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Target in Anaheim Hills, CA marked toys to 75% off today.
kdaven Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Just came back from my target. The ladies were marking down to 75% from 30%. Signage for 30% still up, but they were working away marking down all those toys. The sales were great! So many bargains.
mjmcca Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 It seemed in the Target i was in today they went from 30% to 75% without stopping at 50%.
cmh1919 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 All Targets in North Florida went 75% on toys today.. Went to several and got some great deals! STuff was going fast...

Vickis3js Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Target in South Jersey was 75% an employee told me it went to 75 last night and they quickly went from 3 full isles to barely one. Of course I didn't get what I really really really wanted and that was the Leapster Lmax but I did get the care bear read along bear for less then $10! Now to find more of the books cartidges for it! Vicki
love2beurwifey Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I am going to go in there this evening
bravesrule62382 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Went to one at lunch, didn't have a whole lot left. If anyone needs Angelina Ballerina things (outfits, dolls, games) mine had a lot from $1 - $4. Managed to get one thing, Scene It - James Bond edition for $4.97 :) Will be hitting more stores up this weekend!
shopping mom Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I hope to check ours again tomorrow. I was in there earlier this week and it was still 30% off.
jbearcbear Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Don't have a Target in my city, but 40 minutes away... Leapster L-Max $22.48 (was $89.99) (2)Gerber Graduates Veggie Crackers $.82 - my son loves these! Huggies Diaper Rash Cream $1.88 - just ran out, too Toddler boys Buzz Lightyear sneakers $4.24 Merlin Electronic Wizard Game $3.24 (was $12.99) Bratz doll $3.74 read-along Care Bear $9.02 Thanks to all of your posts earlier, I went around the whole store looking at the endcaps. The clearance toy area was pretty dry, but I found the Leapster L-Max on an endcap in the back of the store - perhaps someone was hiding it for later? Thanks to all for your posts!
mdsmithers Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Target went from 30% to 75% this year, wierd, you gotta get there on the right day when that happens. If you want the fantastic 4 big fists you are in luck, every store I checked still had plenty even at 75%, otherwise most toys were picked over by last night. Thanks all for the updates.
Stowasser Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Our store went from 30% to 75% last year and did it again this year. I missed it last year but luckily for the boards, I got in there yesterday. Don't know if it went yesterday or the day before but there was still four aisle of items which was going fast, there was about 4 people there when I was shopping and we all had a big cart full. I think they probably have some left for todays shoppers. didn't really miss out on anything since the kids are 9 and 11 so starting to move out of the toys and more into games etc. I did find some nice Star Wars and Lazer Tag for my son's birthday. I did manage to walk out with $250 worth of stuff that retails for $1000....Wow!!!!
