1angelnhvn Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I stopped at one store at lunch and the lady was just starting to mark down stuff. There were two people but she told the one guy that was going to help to go to lunch so I couldn't wait. I went to another store after my apt and they had marked a lot of their stuff 70% off. The signs weren't changed of course so I had to check all the tags and some stuff was still in the regular aisles but most of it was moved to one aisle. I did manage to find a few things but the first store I went to had several more items than the others. But all in all, a productive stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoshopCA Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I was able to get several things. Legos were only 50%, but that isn't surprising. The last few years most stores here salvaged at 50%. I bought a bunch and will hold them to see if they drop and return to rebuy. I have several other items that I bought at full price or 30% that I was holding to return after they went down. I'll be returning those soon to rebuy them. One hidden special is the Thomas Trackmaster Water Tower Starter set. I found it marked in one store, but it is still coming in new cases and being stocked on regular shelves unmarked. There are 3 in each new case, along with another set that is 2 in 1 something or other. That set is NOT clearance, but the water tower set is. It is sitting on the shelf below the take n play diecast ones that are hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not the mass markdown day all at once like a few years back, but still most went to 70.Hit multiple stores, Very interesting to see how that varied selection of items is each year. While they all have a good bit of the same items with the markdowns, found some great buys at one store the were still full price at others. I find that quite odd but such as it is with Target perimeter perusing.1st store was a war zone aisle, those are always fun. It was chocked full but not organized at all, and NOT marked down. Was a bit bummed thinking it would be later or the following week but saw another customer talking with clerk near price checker and she was get the clerk to scan and secure the new discount price.So it was markdown day, just this store was nowhere near ready. I seem to recall the early (GatorPam) days it was like an event, the stores made a thing out of having it all marked down one day from them next, that on say Tues items were 30 (or 50 in some stores) and then on Wed at opening everything was 70...I may be embellishing the memory a bit.Anyway, now it seems to be a slow burn of sorts. Other stores hit were marked down. Some VERY well organized, some with very small Clearance aisle.I also scouted a 3 on Fri and actually found yet even more different items. One store that had a clearance aisle that was practically non existent....if that were the only store you ever saw you'd think the perimeter perusing a farce.All in all a very good year.But I do miss the 'action' here in the forum only two pages of discussion so far....

Stowasser Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ours was only on one aisle so alot less than in years past, we are buying for a program here like Toys for tots and still got $140 worth of stuff, some barbies, disney dolls, mickey mouse tool bench and Frozen vanity were the major things but really small compared to years past....

kellygirl12345 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Remind me... does the toy clearance make it to 90% off, or is 70% off the final discount? If it does go to 90% does anyone have a clue when that may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathytheshopper Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 No, toy clearance doesn't go to 90%. Today a lot of the Hello Kitty Electronic stuff went 70% off. Karokee, Boom boxes, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stowasser Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Camping and sporting goods were 50%, clearance was pretty random but some good deals (I got some more golf balls but noticed clubs, gloves, tennis rackets etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atn1275 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Anyone know when the baby stuff goes on clearance? I see that the trend was around the end of Janary? Did I miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1angelnhvn Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Our baby stuff clothing and accessories had already went 70% and is all gone. As far as the big items, last week I checked and items at my store were still 50% off and had been for a few weeks. Not sure if it dropped lower this week or not as I haven't went back this week. For me if I'm not there on Monday when they usually mark it down, that stuff is gone so you might have missed it depending on your store. Some stores had already dropped to 70% off on the larger items a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathytheshopper Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Some dollar spot 30% off. I had to chuckle because there's a whole line of Hello Kitty Christmas dollar spot stuff for 30% off. Very strange! Valentine's is the usual 30% and 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredbread Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Only went to one store but Valentines 50/30 with dollar spot 50. Saw that Hello Kitty Christmas stuff in $ spot here too, lol. Guessing tomorrow will be 70/50 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Went to 2 stores. One was 50/70, the other was 50/50. I thought it was really crazy that they dropped the candy without dropping the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathytheshopper Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 When does anyone think the dollar spot will go to 70%? Valentine still 30/50 here with dollar spot 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredbread Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just found a functional inventory checker.

kathytheshopper Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 70%/50% today. Now I'm waiting for the dollar spot to go to 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredbread Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Seeing some reports that some stores went 90% on valentines and 70% on dollar spot today. It looks like the inventory checker might actually be keeping pace with clearance markdowns. I'm not heading out until tomorrow since the checker is still indicating 70% v-day at my stores. Well, one store is showing 90% but it isn't worth my time for that store (distance & what's left.) p.s. If anyone does find 90% today and has checked that store against the inventory checker I'd love to know if it was accurate... would save a lot of unnecessary Target "checking if clearance dropped" trips if the inventory checker does it.

txsupermom Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Dollar spot at 70%. Got hand warmers and foot warmers for .30 and 3 packs of travel tissues for .30. Expiration date on warmers was 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredbread Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) The inventory checker indicated 2 of the 3 stores I thought about going to today were at 90 and the third at 70 for valentines clearance. So I went to the two that it indicated were at 90 since they are close to each other. Both were 90. I didn't make the drive to the one the inventory checker said was 70. The numbers of items left seemed fairly accurate per the checker. I'm guessing the few things I couldn't find someone had stashed somewhere or were seriously misplaced. $ spot was 70 at one store, salvaged at the other. If anyone needs dcpi for something specific I'd be happy to pull out my receipts if I have that item. I tossed all my stuff in the closet since most of it is going in easter baskets. ETA: Over the last couple days I got Lego Friends little pack, Lego city little pack, Frozen LED balloons, Frozen elsa star lights thing, peanut M&Ms, some other candy to put in easter baskets, goldfish pack, whistle lips, some valentines day cards packs with tattoos/pencils, and I'm sure I've forgotten some things.
