savvybuys Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 alfrey66 is right, you really lucked out! I asked my mom again this morning about this (she's worked for Target for about 12 years) and she said it is a big no no! It is a company wide policy. No stores should be doing it. It would be madness! Could you imagine the lines at customer service everytime Christmas was marked down?! Good for us, bad for them!Yea that is definitely YMMV...No way would either of the 2 stores I frequent do that...What most people do if they see a steep difference in something they purchased is just re-buy it at the cheaper price and return one of them with your original receipt... My Target will PA regular sale items...With no problems...But not any type of clearance..Perhaps they couldnt tell the difference between a clearance or a sale price??

smockingfor2 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 FYI--Opelika/Auburn Target shoppers. I saw a Rival Roaster Oven today. I did not buy it. When I scanned it the price was $14.95. The price on the ticket says $40.00 something. There was only one. It was there when I left at 1:30pm. Also, the leather kids chairs are not out on the floor, but when I put the DCPI it came up that it was in the backroom. I didn't have time to ask about it, but if you are interested I would ask. It came up at $17.98...I think! HTHI was there at 1:30 again today...and yesterday..who are you??? I know who the other gottadealer on this site is...we actually met on ebay and she introduced me to this fantastic site, and we meet up in the target isle on occasion...but I don't know who you are! :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiesmommy01 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I feel as if I am in a shopping coma right now! I hit the motherload at the two Targets I went to today. Coupled with the one I went to yesterday, I now have a mini van FULL of toys....lol I am so excited about all of my purchases. I actually got the items I wanted and then some! Bella (I have NO idea what this is....lol) - $6.24 :)I got the last one of those! so freaking excited...it's actually learning to dance with the princesses! The music and everything...super fun if you have a girl all into dance like my DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnvillane Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 hmmm, i dunno,,,,at one of the stores I went to today, they were pulling out pallets of clearance stuff from goodness knows where and were restocking the toy aisles with even more clearance items.I was at the store in Watchung, NJ and they had just gone 75% on the toys. The employees were putting more and more on the clearance shelves and said that they had a trailer and 1/2 full of clearance toys that they still had to unload:eyepoppin I got quite a bit but then had to go pick up kids from school. Of course, I am itching to go back tonight (but have a house full of kids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booga12345 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Does anybody know what the deal is with the kids bath sets from Christmas. They are still only 30% off. Will they go any lower? I thought for sure they would have by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hey, I purchased this also and the hydrogen car. :)Yeah, the Hydrogen car was cool, but for 10+, and DS is only 6, so I thought he'd just get frustrated.

lovetoshopCA Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hate to mention this but they were putting out those Transformers 2 packs with both Bumblebee models for $4.98 today. I got a couple. They also started putting out a bunch of Star Wars stuff, but that was only 30% (checked at 2 stores). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC-Traderbear Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Not sure if anyone bought the Barbie Island Princess Elephant with 2 Kelly Dolls. Anyway, I told my 4yo that she could pick anything off the shelf while we were shopping yesterday as long as she behaved herself. She picked that. It is ADORABLE! For $6.xx, it was definitely worth the price of peace and cooperation yesterday during our outings. Funny thing is that she didn't pick it until we were at our third store. She was completely oblivious to the fact that I had already bought it at the first store! It worked out okay though cause when my 6yo got home from school and found out about the great toy adventure, she immediately wondered where her toy was. So I was sort of forced to give her the option of taking the other one I bought OR the Barbie Fairy DVD doll/game. She and her sister are having a blast playing with those elephants and they are very cool! I never would have imagined they could do the things that they do! Just thought I'd share that it (in my opinion) is a neat toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confessions Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yippee The store at the District (Jamboree and Barranca) went 75% on Toys, they have a Butterscotch pony if anyone needs it---lower shelf in a brown cardboard box, picture was not visable when I was there, so if you look closely it might still be there. I got a Torpedo, which projects movies onto a wall (or games, digital pics, etc) originally $160, now $40, a Scene it for Harry Potter 2 $6.42 and some misc other items.then I went to the Barranca and Culver store, they had a lot more stuff, including the Toyota 4x4 RC truck, now $15 (got one for my Dad to play with the grandkids), Elmo through the years, now $7.50, another projector for my sister, a Pirates of the Carribean Scene it for $6.45 and a Mad Gab for my DD for $7.??? They have a lot of toys stacked up on top of the shelving unit, so check there if you are looking for something. There were a lot of the Barbie throne chairs. Have fun, everyone!i was on a conference call with work and as soon as it was over I high talied over to the district (drove like a maniac from Fullerton and by the time i got there the shelves were all bare... only a handful of toys left Total bummer, I thought I might of had my shot! But thank you for the heads up on Butterscotch.. I tried, I really tried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellen zachariia Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I was at my target today in WPB and you know what they took items that where 75% off yesterday took the red stickers off and priced them full price. The items included bratz racing dolls, and some soft puzzles that taught children how to tie a show lace I could not believe it. my husband however found a John Deere remote control tractor for 24xx reduced from $99.00, and some more dress up cheetah girl items for my DD. for 2.48 . Also found: 1. air cannon for 2.48 2. Barbie birhday dress -up. 1.97 It is like a polly pocket only larger. 3. two cheetah girl talking dolls for 3.74 4. Bratz computer speakers for 1.98 5. Bratz computer camera for 2.48 6. Bratz Chloe Hollywood doll that comes with a roll of film and a camera for 3.48 7. Cheetah girls black and gold boa for 1.48 8. WWE wrestler figure for 1.97 I was also happy to find the Hershy's kiss silicone pull a part cupcake pan for 3.74. All and all not a bad way to kill 1 hour between doctor's appointments.

ellen zachariia Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I also forgot to mention that yesterday I found the Lego Big City Aiport for 19.98 reduced form 79.99. We had gotten it for my son last week for 39.98 so I bought the cheaper one then returned the original one from last week because I was sure they would not do a price adjustment.

The items included bratz racing dolls, and some soft puzzles that taught children how to tie a show lace I could not believe it. They have done this before, but not usually so quickly. They had the Disney Cars Mack truck playsets (the ones that went to $4 this time) on clearance at Easter time last year (I was at my Mom's for a funeral and saw them when we went to town) for 30% off. She kept an eye on them for me, and I watched them here. For 2 weeks they left them, then they took the stickers off and bumped the price back up! They did the same thing with those Disney Mix Max things last spring. We watched and watched, but they dropped only to 50%. They pulled them off the shelves for 2 weeks entirely, then they were back at full price! So Weird!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz harley Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I had asked this question earlier, regarding the "I can Play Guitar" that I bought. Many of you had said it was a Fisher Price and needed cartridges. the one that I have is by Mattel, says plug and play on the front along with "video games teach u 2 play" for ages 6+. I have a feeling that I do not have the same one that many of you are talking about....so...do I keep it or take it back?? Had bought it for a 3 year old.

liz harley Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Was this regularly 199.99? I saw a play house yesterday at the Target in Hillard Ohio that was reg. 199.99 marked down to 49.99. I didn't have any room at all in my van for it though.This play cottage 129.xx marked down to 64.xx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had bought it for a 3 year old.It is the same. Fisher Price is a Mattel brand. The cartridges are additional songs/games for it. It comes with one, but if the child wants to move beyond that single set of songs/games, you'll need the other cartridges. And you want to get them while they are clearance.

liz harley Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Really I think they should be allowed to do this, could you imagine working there and seeing all those deals and not being able to buy it til all of us went thru it. They were buying cartloads at the Boardman store but I think they deserve it first. Just my opnion.Do I see you at the Boardman store??? Didn't get there til after work yesterday, but still got way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
