kdaven Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 For everyone in the San Gabriel and Eastern San Fernando Valleys of Los Angeles, there is a NEW 3 story Target opening Sunday at the Glendale Galleria. It is in the spot where the old Robinson's May was. I overheard a manager telling another about "the new store" this morning, so I popped out of the aisle to ask about it. I am SO excited to get yet another new Target. Lousy location and parking, but nonetheless another place to look!Thanks for the info. I wonder if there are going to be any grand opening prizes?
dmmiller Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 We have a new target opening 10 min from my house ...I think This coming Sunday. :) I cant wait! The one I got to now is 20 min away.
nelly Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Went to one of the targets I visit and the only thing I saw was that the 30% had gone to 50%. I checked w/the lady who does toy markdowns and she said she had already done the toys (she was marking down lingerie at that time, btw, which I did pick up some good buys there). I did find that wagon that sits two and has a place for their cups. I can't remember the name but it was for $14.98.

I got that for ds three BFs ago, and it was $45 then, and I've never seen it for less than that!
sfven Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 just got back from two Orlando area targets and no toy mark downs. guess it's next week! they did have A LOT of kids shoes at 50% clearance. Also, Huggies bix box diapers and training pants were 15% off, but not any of the Pampers. Don't know why the Pampers brand is going to be clearanced later.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks for the info. I wonder if there are going to be any grand opening prizes?I seriously doubt it. When they opened the 2nd Pasadena store (Old Fedco) there wasn't anything. I went with a neighbor and we were very disappointed.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 The one thing they did mark down today in two of my stores is the Play Wonder toys. They almost all went to 50% off. Those are the ones that are the summer toys. Like that weird wooden bike, the teepee tent, ring toss and bowling games, etc. They marked most of the plastic summer toys as well, but many only went to 30%. A real bummer. On the other hand, I collect Littlest Pet Shop & Cars toys, and found new ones of both, so at least I got something for the runaround.
anasmomma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 As of lunchtime, Chicagoland Target - no toy markdowns
knittingarrows Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I'm needing a smaller (2-4person) tent for this weekend. Anyone know of any on clearance? I'm in Tulsa area. TIA April
thejonesfive Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I'm needing a smaller (2-4person) tent for this weekend. Anyone know of any on clearance? I'm in Tulsa area. TIA April If you have a Sam's Club membership check them out. Ours in Fl. had a Swiss Gear 4 person tent for $25 I think, could of been a few dollars more but not much. My parents just got one this past weekend. Really nice tent. They were in the back where they put their discontinue things. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/ljones627/tent.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
linda050103 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 OKAY what is going on with the TOY MARKDOWN?? I was really disappointed that NOTHING was marked any lower. I can't figure it out. Must be next week?? There was a guy (with the little scanner thing) going through the aisles and resetting them and taking clearance stuff off of the shelves. Is it possible that they are going to do a markdown in the next few days?
JazzMama Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 The only noticeable markdown in toys here is the Fairytopia Mermaidia barbie (down to $3.24), but I passed. I stocked up on DD's sandals, though. Down to 75% which made them $3.24. I also picked up a few tanks w/ rhinestone detail for $1.24 (75%) and a short-sleeve embroidered tee for $2.49.

It sounds like, from several others, and my own experience that they are consolidating a lot of the clearance stuff in a few aisles like they do at Christmas. I think it will be at least next week. I was hugely disappointed too because I had childcare options today. Next week, NOT! UGH!!!
KC-Traderbear Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Has anyone tried or heard whether the Sutton Dodge steaks that Target sells are good?
ken9455 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Picked up the helium remote control blimp I was wanting for DS 75% off, was $24.xx paid only $6.xx:)
jgozdzialski Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I was at Target in East Green Bay and toys were 30-50%. There was not much going on today.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Picked up the helium remote control blimp I was wanting for DS 75% off, was $24.xx paid only $6.xx:)Oh man! I bet they are all gone too! I thought those looked cool!
momformany Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Found some good deals tonight, Fisher price bubble mower 50% off, little Tykes sand/water table 50% off. I'm waiting for some of the other toys to go to 75% It looks like they are condensing all toys to one aisle and getting ready for another markdown. Also bought diapers at 15% off, they do have the Pampers marked down and the wipes so you could use the $3 off coupon from the website.
sadmom5 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 picked up a nice lounge chair for back yard 75% off- just 12.98( I think they found a couple in the back room- they were off to the side.-got 24 pack of propel for 15% off-8$+change- lots of toys markdown- some 30% some 50%- didn't look tooo close because they were for younger kids(around 5 )
linda050103 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 anyone been this morning to check if it's 75% off toys? I know it's not suppose to happen until next week now...but who knows what target executives have up their sleeves?
leapord420 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah i am starting to get frustrated went last night figuring OK MAYBE the toys will be 75% off BUT OF COURSE NOT its only been 50% for almost 3 weeks now but I did notice that they are clearing out whole isles I am assuming to make that FAMOUS 75% off isle of toys ) so cant wait until they do but asked a young girl working there now me being around the same age but she WOULDNT tell me when they are gonna be marked down all she said was they should be marking down again SOON ( with all the gas we use are we really saving money checking on the 75% off toys ??
bargaingal2 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Went this am at 10:30 in Michigan but still the same thing
niccci Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 anyone been this morning to check if it's 75% off toys? I know it's not suppose to happen until next week now...but who knows what target executives have up their sleeves? Just got back.. still the same boohoo!!!! I just KNEW it was gonna be this week. I even ask one of the people that I THINK was a supervisor of some sort and they said they are condensing the shelves getting ready for the new toys next week ( for Christmas)I asked her if they were going to mark the old toys down further and she said probably but I really dont know when and then she said she was surprised they werent marked down more by now. SOOOOOOOOO who knows!!!

The people that shop this sale every year aren't going to buy things at 30% and 50% because we know it goes cheaper.
o_arlene Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I got a question, went today and hide (for the first time ever) a watch for my husband is 30% off (he wants to check prices on post first) but I was thinking because is the last one if they mark down more than 30% would it scan?? or it needs to have the red sticker??
smockingfor2 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Went to my target this morning and it was the same 'ol toy markdown with the additon of the play wonder items..not the picnic table though which I am eyeing. I did get the fisher price lawn mover for %7.xx at half off. There was a girl in the isle w/ her cart and stickers so I asked her, are the toys about to get any addt'l mark downs and all she said was, "well those have already been hit". I think maybe she was just refering to the endcap of playwonder stuff I was standing in front of, but I don't know. She stayed on the back isle where the board games and stuff are and was scanning various itmes, I was in a hurry so I could stalk her up and down the isles... . The FATHER"S DAY stuff FINALLY went %75 off, I got DH 3 ties that I had been watching forever for $6.xx down from $24.99 so I was happy about that, they had tons of radios, shaving stuff and other 'guy stuff' but all I was interested in were the ties.
stacya Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 There was one sand and water table left here, though only 30% off...plus, I want the one with the cover, so I'll have to wait and see if I can find one of them somewhere...did score a frog humidifier for $7.xx, originally $29.99! Got a couple of other things, but no great deals, other than that...bulk diapers and wipes (including Pampers) here were 15% off...
tjarena Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I guess I'm missing something but I don't understand all the interest in the toys. My Target has mostly junky toys and the few good toys are going fast without the 75 off. Does all of your Targets have really good toys on clearence that mine doesn't. Maybe I should try another Target.

Maybe I should try another Target. I personally don't see all that much that even if it goes to 75%, that I HAVE to have...some of it, I've gotten at 50% off, because I figure it might not be there at 75%, and some my kids already have, and some I couldn't care less about, as my kids don't want it, need it, or are too young for it...but at times, they REALLY have some good stuff go to 75%, and while my kids may not "need" what everyone else is waiting to go to 75% for, there may be stuff others do! So, I guess there's not really anything worth waiting for at my Target, either...It just stinks that all Targets can't seem to be on the same markdown schedule, so when it happens at one Target, it happens at ALL Targets, kwim?
