I've never seen that brand (Sexy Mother Pucker?) before. It must be pretty high end... and hopefully good... for an original price of $14.99.

couponmommyLA Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 What a great name! I've never seen that brand (Sexy Mother Pucker?) before. It must be pretty high end... and hopefully good... for an original price of $14.99.It is from the Soap & Glory brand. Never tried this item but I bought all the clearance body wash and lotion I could find at mine because it smells so good. Btw, went back today and got 4 more of the Playtex, all $3.24 and 2 more GC. Also used $1 manu and got three of the clearance Tag Sprays for DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotejb Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Leapsters are $55.98 at my closest Target:( But I did manage to get 2 mm yesterday :)I did my first perimeter perusing today while I was waiting on the dogs at the groomer. I looked today at mine and that's how much the Leapster was too.... Also my target had MM packages but I didn't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. These had a price tag of 1.89 for a pack of 6 (I think) I guess I could have taken it over to a scanner but I was being lazy... :) I got a 10 pk of C batteries for 4.98 Rayovac and The Bic Soleil Bella razors were on clearance for 4.34 (I think) and I had gotten a $3 off coupon from BzzAgent so I only paid 1.34 for them. The Red Dragon Humidifer was on clearance too but I didn't check on the price b/c I just bought the pig one online.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 For those whose Leapsters are still at $55.98, I'd expect to see them go straight to 75% off next week. But that is just my speculation. If anyone else is looking at the Rayovac batteries, there is a coupon on the back side of the front label, $1 off, so buy one, open, buy next w/coupon, etc....

lovetoshopCA Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 What day do you think they will mark them down?not sure if you are asking about the Leapsters or the batteries. The Leapsters should go down on your toy day, either Wednesday or Thursday. The batteries should go Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Most of the clearance video games got marked 75% off today. Many skipped 50% and went straight down. Variety of games & platforms. Batteries, sadly, did not drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph3306 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 YEAH!!!!! I am finally an official target shopper. I found 4 of the mm fruit punch for .69!!!! Cashier didn't bat an eye. Thanks for all the tips!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msharpsteen Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Still $40 this morning, I had to check again, just in case. And yes, it seems like they have a ton of them! Obviously they aren't selling at $40. But if they mark them down to $20 I bet they will start to disappear. Their logic escapes me.Got one! We spent the weekend in STL and I hit two Targets while I was there. The Chesterfield store is still 39.98, but the Brentwood store was remodeling and I struck gold there. They had a few of the Leapsters left at 19.98 (WOO HOO!!)-I started to grab one for you, but didn't know if you'd found one yet or not. Sorry!! They also had a pile of Wii games left (and actually still had decent titles) and had already marked their bulk stuff down to 50%. I can't figure why they haven't marked the Leapsters down at ours-it seems every time we're in there they have put more out if anything else. I know they will be gone by the end of the day though as soon as they go 75%. I'm hoping to snag another one though because with two boys I think I was crazy only buying one at that price.

herculesmomma Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Leapster games were on sale at my Target for $19.99. With my $4.00 manufacturers coupon I got a game for $15.99. I also had a $5.00 didj game coupon and I found the didj racing game on clearance for $14.98. So got the game for $9.98. It was the last one at that price at my store and no other games were clearanced out from what I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmond282 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I found the XBOX 360 Scene It Box Office Smash Hit game today. It was 19.99 (50% off) I thought about waiting to buy it, but I figured it'll probably go 75% off the week we're at the beach. I guess I can always return it later.

disneyFan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I live in Silicon Valley and I called several of my local Targets, but they all have the Star Wars Leapster at either $55 or $39. I am hoping that these drop really soon and I am able to snag one! I called my local Target and they told me that the pricing information is updated in the computer every midnight and then the pricing people get a printout of all the changes and go about re-labeling all the items in the morning and are usually done by 12:30 p.m. The best thing to do is to call every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning (he says Toys are usually done one one of these days) with the DPCI number, since having someone check the floor won't help if the pricing people didn't re-label the item. He told me that the pricing is controlled by headquarters, which is why some stores drop their prices earlier than others but he's heard that the East Coast and less populated areas drop their prices up to a month faster than West Coast and metro/populated areas. Does anyone know from experience how soon after the East Coast/less populated areas drops their prices do people see price changes in the West Coast/more populated areas? Thanks.

I am so happy I discovered this GD forum. (he he, that's funny)You should read the first post in the discussion to get the basics, but what he told you is somewhat accurate. The mark downs are done by department on particular days of the week. Most markdowns are done at roughly the same time nationwide. Occasionally an item will lag here or there, like this Leapster, based on other issues. Every weekday, corporate sends out price changes to the price change team (they are the ones with the red stickers), and they go around mark down those items. They have no control over the timing, and no one else can do the price changes. There are some variations in the price change schedule, but it usually is that smaller stores will mark down some items earlier than large stores because the item is not selling that well and they need the shelf space for something else. This is most noticeable in areas like toys closer to Christmas. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizz Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) The StarWars Leapsters were cleaned out at the DFW-Allen store by the time I got there (9am)! I had seen 6 pieces there before. I am so sad! ETA: Found the one good piece left at the Richardson Square mall Target at lunch!! Yay!! There was one more piece there, but it looked like someone had taken it all out, torn part of the box, then put the stuff back and taped it all up! Didn't want to risk buying it only to find out it doesn't work! Couldn't believe Target would take such returns. It was in such a bad shape!

KC-Traderbear Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Haven't been to Target in quite awhile, but went today for Wet Ones. ANYWAY, they had a lot of bulk items 1/2 price... it even appeared that some stickers went straight from 15% to 50%. Not everything was marked that low; some was still 15% and some 30%, but here is a list of what I saw at 1/2 price: Viva Paper Towels Bounty Paper Towels Kleenex-- multi packs and singles Cottonelle moist wipes Toilet Paper (Angel Soft?? and Charmin, I believe) Oh and Cottonelle. Biz Laundry Soap Quite a few cleaning supplies ... all I can really remember. Much of it was also dispersed through the regular aisles as well as up toward the front where the bulk items are. Got a couple Minute Maids. I so rarely have the clerk say anything about it during checkout, but today she happened to notice the price and commented "ohhh how cheap!" "Wonder why they are so cheap..." I just said, "I dunno, but I have kids outta school, and they get thirsty, so that's all that matters to me!"--We both giggled and that was the end of that. Certainly don't need anymore eyes watching out for those juice boxes than there have already gotten to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneyFan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh no, do you mean to say stores remove items before they hit 75% off? That seems unfair though. My local target has 7 (4 in the toy section with the regular leapster and 3 in the electronics endcap section) and I need to buy two and that is why I was waiting, but I wonder if I should buy one at $39. Even $39 is a great deal considering a single game is $24 and the system is $45 on amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
