cjmz Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Anyone have any luck with toys marked down in the Connecticut - Fairfield County area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamaprincess Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I checked on the strollers/travel systems that I am stalking and they are still only 30%. They are making me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberrytech Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I am also watching a Graco Travel System. Was still 30% on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritz Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The strollers went 50% off last week at my Targets. I think it was the Vie and the travel system one that's currently on clearance (sorry I don't remember the name of it...maybe it's the Alano?)

lovetoshopCA Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 found a few odds & ends 75% off in toys - small transformers & Ben 10 voice changers. They were marking down stuff in baby section, but didn't really look. For those in the area, the Pasadena Lake store has a TON of strollers (including DuoGlide) in the area where the garden stuff was (far back corner by school supplies now). 2 whole aisles have been stocked with clearance strollers. looked like 30-50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peifgirl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I feel like a stalker at my target They are getting ready to do something big with the toys, they were clearing out one whole isle and had carts everywhere....I'm going back this afternoon to see if anything more has been done. None of the employees will give out any of the info...I was asking about a pool and if/when it would be marked down again, and all the girl said is i'm sure sometime...well hello i could figure that much out~i asked mine and they said they are bringing in alot of new merchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is obnoxious.I don't think the employees know exactly what products will be lowered next week or the week after, they are told which ones to lower each week, it's not up to them to pick what or when to lower prices.

None of the employees will give out any of the info...I was asking about a pool and if/when it would be marked down again, and all the girl said is i'm sure sometime...well hello i could figure that much out~Yeah, it really is the case that the employees don't know when they'll go down. The markdown team is told via their PDA which items go down on a daily basis. The day ahead they know which departments, but I have talked to several, and they are often surprised when something doesn't go down as they expect it to or something else goes faster. As for the people on the phone, they are simply full of it. When I want to know if the department has had a markdown, I ask for someone in the department, then ask if they did the markdown. Works better, and keeps the front end from knowing if they did get marked down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC-Traderbear Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 As for the people on the phone, they are simply full of it. When I want to know if the department has had a markdown, I ask for someone in the department, then ask if they did the markdown. Works better, and keeps the front end from knowing if they did get marked down.The other thing that works pretty well is to jot down a couple of the dpci numbers, along with the original price, on the orange ticket. When there are certain clearance things that I am especially interested in, I just call customer service and tell them that I'm looking for a specific item and give them the dpci. They can type it in and tell me what the price is pretty quickly. If I know what the item is full price, I can easily tell from the price they give me whether it has gone to 75% off or not. I would never trust a Target employee to tell me if an entire marked down area (ie, christmas/holiday merchandise, toys, etc.) has hit 75% off. This, along with sort of knowing the approximate date that an area will be marked down, has worked pretty well for me. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockfordmom Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Has everyone found that the markdown happens in the morning first thing or later in the day?I think the price is changed in the computer at the beginning of the day, they change the price tags when they get to it, you have to scan everything & check if they haven't marked it yet.

fluffkin79 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 DUmb question, but... can you do price adjustments on clearance items?No. If you really want something, buy it at a higher price. If you find it at a lower price later you can always buy again and return the higher price one. That way you don't miss out on something you really want. We don't really NEED toys, so I'm not buying anything for more than 75% (except Thomas track, if I can find it), but I won't be sad to miss out either.

lovetoshopCA Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Has everyone found that the markdown happens in the morning first thing or later in the day?I think the price is changed in the computer at the beginning of the day, they change the price tags when they get to it, you have to scan everything & check if they haven't marked it yet.they get the information in the PDA during the overnight. However, until they scan the UPC for the items being marked down, it does not activate the price change. In fact, if you have an item hidden, and it isn't on the sales floor, sometimes it gets missed entirely and doesn't go down (though most stores will hit the UPC codes on a printed sheet if they can't find it). Anyway, it really depends on the store and where they are in their markdowns. Most of ours do these first thing, but I have seen it done in the early afternoon. I'd be there when they open to be safe because the toys go quickly once they are marked down. If they are not marked, though, you might see if you can find where they are working and ask if they are doing toys that day (if they seem nice, sometimes they'll lie to you). If they don't do them Wednesday, you might check Thursday as well. Just depends on your store. I have one store I expect to go down tomorrow, another Thursday, and another Friday. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 anyone know what the babystuff is consider as far as the markdown schedule goes?baby stuff is just baby stuff. generally done on mondays. unless they are baby toys in the toy department, then they are considered toys. Ahh...I see the problem, they didn't include it in the first post. It is done at the same time as kids clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanadeal Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Does anyone know if and when the bulk cleaning products will go down any lower? I stocked up on those $2.25 coupons for the electrosol and I bought a few at 15% but 30% would be even better. Went toy browsing and there was barely anything left.

saiynee Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am keeping my fingers crossed that toys go down tomorrow. I won't be able to hit my first Target until 12:00, but I plan on stopping at three in my area. Hopefully I can load up on gifts for my twin's b-day.
