arelf27 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ###030002348 - 2 pk. Gerber Blanket Sleepers - Fleece - 2.48 (75%) (In Baby Section. Finally found another package in size 3T. I bought one a while ago for 30% so I will have to return this one with that receipt) ###088020447 - Sponge Bob Soccerball size 3 (age 3+) - 2.48 (75%) (Must be left over from Toys clearance) I found a bunch more Thomas toys discounted today 50%. They are all metal ones take-along. 22 pk. plastic rails and some kind of rails with bridge. Also helicopter set. They were all in a clearance isle. I'll have to keep watching for when these go 75%.

Luv2Scrapbook Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 If anyone in the Tidewater area needs a PINK fisher price dvd player at 75% off -let me know. I put one on layaway at one of the Targets in VA.Beach and never went back to claim it. I'm wondering if it's still even there! Let me know and I'll tell you where to look for it...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 does anyone know when the home design event will go 75% or 90%? I asked earlier in the thread but no one responded. :)Since they are not treating it like seasonal merchandise, I have serious doubts about it going 90% this year. I sure wouldn't count on it. It isn't likely to go 75% until at least next week since they advertised it 50% off in this week's flyer. Which is a bummer since I wanted to get some sheets and will be in New York the first half of next week when they'll probably drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbha Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm so bummed about some of the bargains in the KC area. I had high hopes that the Magic Chef icemaker would be marked down again to the $42.50 that others paid. Imagine my surprise when I went to 2 Targets (one had 5 on the shelves the night before-Thursday) only to find that rather than do any further markdowns, they sent the stuff to "salvage", whatever that is??? I'm really mad now. I guess I'll be taking that sucker back next week and getting my $84 back. Man I'm jealous of some of you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage is when they mark the item back up to regular price and then, typically, donate the items to Goodwill. They do this often and it is why you need to keep a keen eye out. I recently bought a home item I wanted for 50% off because I wanted it enough. Every Target is completely different so no matter that it is posted here, you may not find the exact product or the price at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle23662 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 My stores have the pink Dyson on for 15% (where it's been for over 2 weeks now) and I keep eyeing it. They only had one at one store and two at another. Last night, one store pulled out SIX more!!! I'm soooooooo crossing my fingers on the longshot that I can score one of these for 50% or maybe even 75%. That would make my day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they salvaged it, which means they sent it to a salvage company that will unload it. They do sometimes sell directly to Salvation Army, Goodwill or other smaller charitable organizations who buy salvage merchandise to resell in their thrift stores, but a lot of it goes to salvage houses that sell it in large auctions and on sites like http://www.liquidation.com Anyway, check back because items that have been salvaged often go back to the sales floor anyway and ring up Not of File or Item not Found. If you get a young, inexperienced cashier (usually male), they will probably ask you if you know the price, and you can tell them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 With the newest $1/1 Johnson first aid coupon that came out yesterday- it says excludes trial size, BUT they have a 10 pack of Hello Kitty band aids that do not say trial on it. Do you think I could use it on them? Some are even houses in the regular aisle with the other band aids as well as some housed in the trial section.

msharpsteen Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Probably! I bought my son one at 75% last summer and gave it to him for Christmas. The one I got was the Step 2 one that sits on the ground and has two sides. I remember seeing others on sale, but don't remember which ones. That stuff generally always goes clearance because they don't carry it year round. Good Luck! I'm not sure if this where I should ask but I am goning to give it a try... During there next toy sale after summer, will they have the sand boxes on sale? My son has autism and he loves to play in beans and sand boxes at school.

I used the Wet Ones coupons on the travel size packs yesterday and they weren't supposed to be used for them. I'm traveling to NY Saturday, and I want wipes for the plane. I have never been a germ phobe, but I have been so sick this fall (despite my flu shot, I just haven't had the flu!), and they don't clean the planes anymore. I want wipes to wipe down everything! My girlfriend's husband got an infection in his elbow from the arm rest last summer and ended up needing surgery for it!! FYI, a LOT of the trial size stuff is clearance. I noticed it yesterday when I was cruising for trip items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoshopCA Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 is comforter clearance a part of home design event clearance??The home design event is completely isolated from the standard bedding stuff.

2domjon Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 thnks .i was a bit confused. is it likely that is goes 75% this week TIAI'd keep checking! I saw some target brand along with some waverly garden and wooolrich sheet sets on clearance (75% off) @ 1 of my targets last week It was the 1 that usually does everything before the other targets in my area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arelf27 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 No on both counts, I would think. I don't know about everywhere, but here the linens just went 50% last week, so they should not drop again until next week.**If we're talking about bedding linens, I just saw some (can't remember brand) 450 thread count 75% off at one of my Targets. I could only find Twin size though (at least 10 pks.), so I have a feeling they might have just discounted that size but then again maybe all Queen and King were grabbed quickly. These were very nice, I sure would have picked some up if I found them in Queen (I think it was something like 17.xx down from 6x.xx?)I was very surprised to see these 75% as all the rest of linens and comforters were 50%. So I guess you never know!! **Oh yeh.. forgot to mention that these were on the end cap and in the isle but then on the opposite wall on the end cap they had this same brand on an end cap - all sizes and these were wringing full price. I think I also overheard an employee commenting how the new packaging for these was nicer than the old so I guess they got all new styles and so were trying to get rid of the old ones fast..

There was only one and no other ones were to be found anywhere in the toy area. I'm sure they would have just told me "it was misplaced....customers move things all the time to different areas".

If it is, then it is unreasonable to expect to get the extra discount. Then I grab an employee and say, "you see this? It is clearly sitting here under a 75% off sign. You see it sitting there?" Then I get their name and haul it up front and argue at the register and have them call employee 1 on the walkie talkie to confirm it. That's my method.

Plus, I don't know what the "rules" are in California when it comes to prices. The scooter was on an endcap on the very top of the shelf behind another box.If it is on a shelf with a sign in front of it, legally, they are required to sell it to you for that price here. I'm in LA. If there is only one, then it is even more of a case that they should do so. That does not mean that you will win, but if you get a good manager, they'll honor it. That is why I always grab an employee to witness it. It is also why it is good to get to know who the store manager is. I had this argument at Christmas with another manager because an item was misplaced and the shelf tag it was with was even similar in name. There were 3 of them there. It was the Eyeclops Night Vision Goggles, $69 at the time, and stocked at a spot that said something like Spy Goggles and $14.99. I pushed, but the manager refused, so I called the county Weights & Measures office. They did an undercover sting, but it had already been fixed. 2 days later I approached the store manager and told him the story and that if that was the way they wanted to run things, I'd simply start calling Weights & Measures first. The manager said, "no, no, we don't need to do that." And I ended up getting the toy for the $14.99 price. He introduced me to his assistant manager and told me to call him anytime I needed assistance. They make a point of asking me about pricing now. They know I shop there 5-6 days a week, and that I spend a fortune there for both regular & clearance merchandise. So, it pays to argue and to develop relationships with the employees.
