julielhutt Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Sure, it is 030 09 1389.Hmm that didn't work in the search. Thanks for sending though. I will try to go to the store to look.
KC-Traderbear Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hmm that didn't work in the search. Thanks for sending though. I will try to go to the store to look.I just looked on my receipt and that is the same number on my receipt. It matches what is on the red sticker. I don't have any other number that might work.
bugsette Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Well, the Rocky River Target closed today... we were one of the last customers there the new one will open at 8 am tommorrow
staledonut Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Even if toys do go to 75% off tomorrow our stores really don't have anything nice left:( Good luck to everyone else that is waiting for toys to go lower. I usually get excited and stock on on gifts for the kids for Christmas and birthdays.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Toys still 30% off here. When are they going to clearance baseball!!!! ahhhhhh:eyepoppinAre you sure they are 30% off? Are you just going by the signs, or have you actually scanned some things? I ask because they often don't bother changing the signs. They say X% and more, so they don't always bother if there are some items at the lower percent off.
nelly Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 For those of you have done the 75% off on toys in years before, do you remember if the markdowns were done by the time they are open? Or have you encounter that sometimes they'll be marking down sometime during the day, perhaps mid-morning? Thanks for any info. :)
niccci Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 For those of you have done the 75% off on toys in years before, do you remember if the markdowns were done by the time they are open? Or have you encounter that sometimes they'll be marking down sometime during the day, perhaps mid-morning? Thanks for any info. :)I have seen it both ways. Sometimes when they are all on adjacent shelves they just put a 75% off sign. The target in OKC marks their down after 8am so who knows what the routine is or even if there IS one hahaha.

Thanks for any info. :) The first year I caught it (two years ago), I was pg with ds #2, and just happened to go in there before my ob appt that day, and they were marking things as I (and many others), walked the aisle...my appts were always around 11, so this would've been around 10 or so...
linda050103 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Wish we knew which day the toys were marking down
nelly Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 T...my appts were always around 11, so this would've been around 10 or so...I've seen them markdown toys before around 10:30am at the target I go to, so they might do the same thing again, but I'll probably be there right at 8am just in case LOL!!
neboo Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Are you sure they are 30% off? Are you just going by the signs, or have you actually scanned some things? I ask because they often don't bother changing the signs. They say X% and more, so they don't always bother if there are some items at the lower percent off.Yeah I did. Im not really looking to buy any toys because I really dont have anyone to buy them for other than for my mom to give as gifts, but I have been checking for that reason and to tell people on here. I also have my eyes on the Bumblebee Unleashed Transformer figure that comes in that big cylinder. It's cool. I just thought everyone on here would like to know if stuff gets marked down and hopefully I can get a headsup when baseball and other stuff I'm looking for goes down.:)

They have an order they have to go in, and they follow it. I have seen the markdowns happen before the store opens, as it opens, 10 am, and 2pm. I have seen them start the department and have to quit at 3 pm, with less than half done because they have to leave for the day, then they pick up first thing the next day. You just can't know for sure unless you know one of them well enough to ask as they are leaving the day before. Even then, sometimes they don't know....

I ask because they often don't bother changing the signs.

I keep hoping they will leav the signs like they are and one day I will check the price and it will be 75% off.
mf47960 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I was at mine at 8 and no toys marked down further. Last time in January when they marked them 75% ours was that way when the opened so maybe tomorrow!
shopping mom Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I went back this morning just in case they marked down last night or early this morning. No changes. I scanned a few items and they were the same price as before.
nikkilugi Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 KC area shoppers I would appreciate a heads up when you get back if the store you went to was 75% off. I know a few stores go on clearance earlier than others but I just can't drag the kids out to each store to check. I am already wondering how I am going to buy toys since I will have to have my kids with me. My dh is out of town and my parents work during the day - oh well I guess I will figure something out.
nelly Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Ok, so here is my last (hopefully) question about the toy markdown. Say they do markdown on Thursday, and say they start it around 10ish. Do I have to wait for them to stick the orange sticker on it to look at what the new price is, or lets say the toys I want are in the fifth isle while they are still on the second isle; so can I get those toys I want because their markdown price is already on the system anyway and when I go to pay its not like the cashier needs the sticker, it'll ring up 75% off still. I hope I made sense.
zooskoo Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I was at Target this am. They were marking down, but the markdowns were on some of the toys currently at 30% to 50%. The Vsmiles went to 50%. They have always marked down toys here on Wednesdays, so I'm guessing next week.

I hope I made sense.You have to wait for them to have at least marked down one of the kind of item you want. So, for example, if they have 5 Cranky the Cranes and have marked at least one, you don't have to wait for the sticker for the other 4. But, if they haven't marked at least one of the item, it will still show the old price. Most of the time, if they miss an item entirely they seem to do a general markdown of all the items that were supposed to go down that day. I am guessing that they use their guide sheet and just scan that. However, occasionally they will miss an item entirely and it will simply stay at the higher price. This sometimes gets people who hide items because their items don't get the markdown at all. I have found such items from time to time. I know the markdown people pretty well, so I will sometimes ask them to check it while they are in markdown mode. No one else can give the markdown, so it has to be one of them.

I think only one of my local stores will do it today, so I am heading there at 9 after I drop off DS at his summer program. I'll hit my local store at 8 when they open - 20 minutes from now....

Couldn't they scan the barcode that appears on the shelf tag? Do they do that??
lovetoshopCA Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 No toy markdowns, but the markdown team was in the bulk item section, marking everything 15% off.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Couldn't they scan the barcode that appears on the shelf tag? Do they do that??Oh, sure. But they don't seem to do it as they go along, so that is why I am guessing at what they do. I think they do it because they want any returns that might come in at the new price. Not really sure, though.
Junebug2 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Just got back from Target in Indy. Still nothing different yet. There was one lonely guy with a cart of Brats dolls he was moving to the isle that has the signs 30% off. Some of the other isles have been cleared quite a bit. Still waiting......
niccci Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 our target has not marked toys down any further. They are still moving things to the 2 aisles that have all red stickers and they were condensing aisles this morning too. So they are up to something.. hahaha.. just dont know what yet!!!
nelly Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 THANKS!! "lovetoshopCA" for the info. I went to two of the nearest targets and nothing. But I did go before 8:30am to both so who knows. I am going to go to two others to check those out.
stacya Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 No additional markdown here on toys, either...I won't bother to check again, since the only thing I wanted was the V.Smile Pocket, and those are all gone...I bought a Buckaroo game and Toy Story Woody with Wheezy a month or so ago, when they were 50% off, but for the extra couple of bucks, I'm not going to drag myself and the kids out first thing in the morning to see if they've gone 75%... I did get a Graco booster seat for $9.xx, and they had the Graco Callista pattern travel system on clearance for $69.xx, which I might have picked up if I was positive we were going to have one more child, since our Evenflo infant carrier has been recalled, and I think it expires in January anyway...saw other big booster seats for 50% off, which is definitely a good deal!
nannymouse Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I was in Neptune NJ Greatland Target this morning (not my usual Target), and the toys were still 50% . This was around 10:30 ish They appeared to be doing a huge reset in the shoes however.
