Bargainscout Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Does anyone happen to know if the eggs are going to be on sale this year? I know last year at out super target the eggs were 2 for $1.I know we're going to go through a lot with the dye kits.that's right. I completely forgot about that. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Seems like it was an online coupon last year, wasn't it?Last year the eggs were on sale for 50¢/doz + there was a T coupon for 50¢ off, so they were free. There should be a new batch of T coupons the Sunday before Easter. Maybe they'll have a coupon for eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzaina Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I found flashlights last night for $1.04. They were mixed in with the other flashlights, and came with 2 batteries. Great for the upcoming hurricane season! (or in case your kids like to use them at night like mine do) :)Can you tell me what kind and where they were located? My girls are going camping with girl scouts and they were told to bring flashlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I hope they have the M&Ms coupon out... The .50 a bag coupon... I bought so many of those easter ones last year as when they went 75% off, I got them for .33 a bag w/ the coupon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledown814 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I haven't seen this posted yet and YMMV, but I have found poseable Groovy Girls at a couple of stores for 75% off at $3.24, down from $12.99. My girls love them and they are great for birthday presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntsmomie Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Can you tell me what kind and where they were located? My girls are going camping with girl scouts and they were told to bring flashlights.There were an off-brand, I think. I threw the packaging away already, but they said something like "2-D Flashlight" on the front. It's a flashlight with 2 batteries included, and they're located over with the other flashlights (back in housewares). Hope this helps! Can't beat $1!

knog Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I overheard a markdown team discussing that they weren't going to markdown certain items (one was the wine chiller a month ago or so) cause they didn't think it was right for Target to sell the stuff at such low prices. This was the same couple of women after Christmas who said they didn't go down to 75% even if the other Targets in town did. And then I watched them take stuff off the shelves and put it into carts. The next day all the Christmas stuff had 75% off signs. hmmm I guess they need the stuff more than we do. I don't go to that store anymore.

alacazander Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I bought the frog Photkiz for my son before xmas and loaded it up with pictures. It has a softwear disc included and cable that is very easy to use. Took only a few minutes and I think I could put up to 40 pictures on it. It was a huge hit! He brings it with him to show people his grandma, his pets, friends, etc. It's not cheap stuffed toy. I paid $34.99 so at $9 it's a steal! We love it and haven't had to change the batteries yet. Go grab them! Worth the $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to that store anymore. sounds like they maybe violating store policy or not doing their job. Its not up to them to decide if it goes to 75%, its their management (or corporate?) that make that decision. I think if they have a problem with it, they need to find another job. I personally would of written a brief note to the manager of the store about what you heard, its interesting that they sound like they are not doing their job of marking down, instead taking the items off the floor. Do you find things marked 75% off at your store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexyreyes72 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I guess I'm just not going to fight someone or threaten to get them fired so I can save a few dollars on an item. I like a bargain too but there's nothing I need that badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissy904 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 yoo hoo. my daughter just told me that she will begin working at Target (part time) to help with her college costs. 10% discount card for cash purchases! I know it's not much, but when you're doing clearance shopping almost with as much energy as an olympic sport, every bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cokemeyer Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I had a good day today. Found that they had reduced all that was left of the craft aisle clearance down to one shelf of one endcap, but still I got a Color Wonder Sprayer set, a bead loom kit, a clay bear making kit, and a jewelry kit, all for $2-3.xx each. Then the best find was two Sand Art kits that were not marked but when I scanned them came up at $1.24 each! I was thrilled - seems they would have been more than 4x this price to begin with. On the same shelf I scored a Digital Photo viewer for $7.48, also not marked but I knew it might be on sale thanks to you guys. I passed over the PhotoKinz for $7.xx, but since reading these positive reviews, maybe I should go back and get some... Also got some Champion boys zip up jackets for 75% off and some Cherokee brand toddler girls clothes for 75% off also - new to clearance at my store - lots of stationery/business supply stuff, like pens, scotch tape, labels, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't allow them to see you give her the cash. I understand from employees I know that that is an instant firing offense. Wouldn't want her in trouble.

afrey66 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think I'm going to PP on my lunch. I have to pick up my RX and kitty food so I may as well do it on my lunch and my kiddo is at pre-school.

tbrammier Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The pyramat audio chairs finally went 75% off today from $39.99 to $9.98. I got several to use as birthday gifts. There were a few Wii games down to $12.48, Tony Hawk Proving Ground, The Golden Compass and My Word Coach and several xbox 360 games The Bee Movie - $12.48, The Blue Dragon - $14.98, Crackdown - $29.99 and a few others. PC games Thrillville and Heroes of Might & Magic V (I think) for $7.48 and a couple of others I can't remember. I also noticed flashlights and car stereos marked to 30% off something to keep an eye on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC-Traderbear Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 you might want to report that to the customer service email or phone number. or the store manager. that isn't right, and I doubt the company condones it.I've always wondered what exactly IS the chain of command at each Target store? Is there ONE manager over the store or is it the LOD who is the manager on duty... or is the LOD something different from the store manager?? Who then does the manager report to? Is there a district/regional person that oversees many Target stores in a certain area and then reports on in to corporate???? I've always wondered, but never enough to ask I guess! anyone know?

maryjoe Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 All the scanners were out of service today and I had a few things that I needed to scan, but now I don't trust those sneaky employees to tell me the right price I even went to jewelry where the markdown team was and asked about a necklace that's on clearance online (75%) and she said no it's only 50% off here. Can that be cheaper online than at my local store? Don't want to pay shipping fees Anyways, on a happier not, I did get 10 free string cheese and 6 $ .24 granola boxes, 1 MM juice. So not too shabby . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a district/regional person that oversees many Target stores in a certain area and then reports on in to corporate???? I've always wondered, but never enough to ask I guess! anyone know?There is a "Store Manager" who is overall head of the store. The problem is that when you try to get to that person it is nearly impossible. They just don't want to let you do it. Over time, as the employees get to know me, I have found that I could ask and have them pointed out to me. I still don't know who it is at one of my main stores, though. But, honestly, I have not always gotten good results even by talking to the store manager when I do know who it is. I generally have had much better success by calling the 800 number. That generally gets their attention because it goes into their performance reports and can have a real impact on the manager himself. LODs are usually just hourly people who are put into a position of line management. They "say" they are managers and can really do things, but I haven't found it to be true. They report up to the store manager (there may or may not be someone over them) and the store manager reports to a district manager. I don't know how many layers they have. I just know that the best results come through a top down complaint so that it gets recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afrey66 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I did pretty well today. I found lime green Caboodles for $3.38 (still marked 30% off; scanned 75% off). I've been wanting this to keep my daughter's hair ties, brushes, combs, etc. I found 10 Finding Nemo Color Wonder sets in a shopping cart near stationary (with a bunch of other marked down stuff). I scanned them and they came up $0.00. So I go directly to the CS desk and tell the guy, these are coming up $0.00. He checks and of course it's the same for him. He goes, what are they worth to you? I said $1.00 each. He said OK but I'll need to ring you up here. I said let me go get the other ones and I'll be right back. lol I got the 10 of them for $10.00. In the cart, I also found this fingerpaint set that had some tools in it for $2.48 each (bought the two of those). I also found these Roseart sets of 500+ activities for $1.24, and a couple sets of eraseable markers for the same price. I was pretty excited with these finds. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Hello Spring Showers, Target Kids book that came in the mail today and on the back, hidden is a peelie coupon for $5 off $50. I never would have known it was a coupon if I hadn't been tipped off by someone else. The coupon has the same spirograph print as the rest of the ad so it isn't easy to recognize.

Does anyone know why these go down so low, I know I have found quite a few of these lately and they have the "as is" sticker on them. Is it because they normally don't sell them in the store? I bought Shark Tales for 3.xx a few weeks ago. Great deal today!Internet Return Bounce and Slide Bounce House Was 180.xx got it for 125.xx Not 75% off but a really great deal for such a nice bounce house!
