Timswife81404 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Will the picnic stuff go 90 like other holiday stuff??
TargetMumUK Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 No change this morning when I went, picnic was still 50%, no changes in the toy department. I think that the picnic stuff does go 90% but dont quote me
shoppingaddict Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 OMG, what a cute dog for your avatar. :)Definitely cute....but not mine. It's one of many pictures available from the GottaDeal website. My kids would be thrilled beyond belief if we had a dog like that!
CalGal Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 lovetoshopCA, what Targets do you shop at? I'm in the SGV too. I usually hit up San Dimas, West Covina and Duarte. Although Duarte is my least fave store.

Although Duarte is my least fave store.I'm on the other end of the valley, though I trek out your way for the big sales after I hit my stores. My main stores are the 2 in Pasadena, then Eagle Rock, Glendale, sometimes Alhambra (though not often) and Duarte if I need to go to Walmart, Home Depot or TRU anyway. I sometimes need to go to Diamond Bar, so I'll hit the San Dimas & West Covina stores. I'll even trek on down to Baldwin Park if I am on that way and have time.
richmond282 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Went today for some odds and ends. Picnic was still 50% off and there was absolutely NO change in toys. I scanned a bunch of stuff you guys had mentioned was marked down furhter, but no luck. I don't even think the toys were scanned this week. Oh well! Have fun at the big toy sale if it hits this week. I have to work out of town all week. The closest Target is 50 miles away and I don't have time during the day to get there.
jennifer070707 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I went this morning and the toys are still 30%..But I got the sippy cups for $1.68!!
pottsie66 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Hardly any picnic stuff left at our local store and it is still at 50%. Toys are definitely getting picked over, too. All of the signs at our store say 30 and 50% off, but many are scanning at 75%. My son picked up a bunch of toys for the local women's shelter and he paid $70. When he got home, he added up what all the toys would have cost at regular price and it came to $220
TargetMumUK Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Picnic is now 75%, bought a few extra things & lots of Margarita & mojito mixes . Toys still the same, one of my Targets now has a clearence aisle that is half full with boys stuff, they have yet to pull the girls stuff from the regualar shelves, thinking they may do that this week.
Sarasuzymama Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Yep...picnic at 75% off at my store, too! (Thanks for the update, TargetMum...I dropped everything and ran to my store!) I was so bummed that there were NO beach towels left...there had to be 20 or more just a day ago. But I got an adorable straw tote for $3.74 and a bunch of plastic dishes for under $.50 each. I saw more toys at 50% off at this store, but they were way behind with their 50% off markdowns, so they probably just evened themselves out with everyone else.
Katie811 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 75% off the summer/picnic stuff 50-75% off most toys! 30% off summer toys! Some of the prices in toys changed overnight? not to sure what time they changed at but I was there yesterday and things were 30% went back this morning and they are 50% Maybe thursday will be the big day:D
schwadette Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Our picnic was 75% in central OH... mostly margarita mix and random other stuff. A few of the flameless candles... Also was excited to see the 10 pack of juice boxes... but they rang up $2.99. UGH!! SO disappointed!! Most toys were only at 30% (really nothing at 50% or 75%!!)....
lakj98 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Picnic stuff was 75% off here. I scored a big cooler, 3 insulted lunch bags, a condiment set and some margarita mixes. They did have an aisle for the clrance toys. A select few were 75% off. Nothing I was interested in buying though. I am going to go back tomorrow and check the V Motion games (50% off today). I am hoping to get a few at 75% off since I bought a V Motion at the last Target clearance. I would like to get a few games to go with it for whoever I give it to for Christmas.
Katie811 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) In case you are looking for the picnic 75% off. Alot of mine was mixed in with regular items. <img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a328/KatieLynn011/July2009204-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> It's not the best picture, but just in case your walking around and notice one of the items, you could scan it! I don't have my reciept so these are guesses: Cooler - $9.xx Green bucket - $1.xx Ball - 87 cents? 2 blue cups - 25 cents Blue cooler bag - $2.50 Griller kit - 3.74 I hope this helps someone!

TargetMumUK Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Ok, so a couple of days ago I said they were re-setting the toy dept in on of my targets but not the other one, well this morning they were resetting the toy dept in the other Target. They seem ti be making a clearence aisle in the boys section for the boys stuff & a seperate aisle for the girl clearence toys in the girl section... thats new to me. The seasonal outdoor toys (playwonder slip n slides etc etc ) were still in place. I may pop back this arvo to have alook & see how they have gotton on. Picnic still 75%, they have squished it all together & I wouldnt be suprised to see it on an endcap tomorrow as it really got pick through yesterday. No other changes except that someone bought the 2 desk lamps that I had been keeping an eye on, they were bronze in color & were ment to be $39.99 each & had gone to 50%off but that was still to much for me, I was hoping to get them at 75% off but no luck .. very upsetting as they would have looked great on my desk Keep the updates coming ;)
chrisjuvers Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 my target had picnic at 75% but they had only 1/2 of an isle. Mostly margarita mix and plastic dishes, a few flameless candles. No coolers. I'm still confused about the toy sale. The store is just now clearing out 2 aisles for the toy sale. Hardly any toys are on sale and most are 30%. I guess my store is just wayyyy behind. I didn't pick up any games for the PS3 but they had lots of game for $13.98. A baseketball game, dirt bike game, guitar hero (hits or something like that). Only Wii game was tin pin alley for $13.98.
Mommy2Four Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Today we have a clearance isle with a few things thrown on there, it's a mess. Most of the toys that are marked down are boy toys and there aren't many left, all still at 30% or 50% nothing at 75%. Anyone have an idea when summer sporting goods get marked down? Like noodles and float things?
steph3306 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Man I envy you guys who can go run to target everyday and check sales.:) I also appreciate the info though so then I know when to make my run to town.:)

Like noodles and float things?Our summer pool/float items were 30% off but not all of them. There were squirt guns and most items under $10. I also saw a boogie board slip n slide thing on clerance for $55.98. Anything that's good was still full price.

No separation, so I'd guess that is just some local person wanting it that way. I think they are just supposed to move it out of the main aisles. No movement on any of ours. 30-50% off. I sure wish we HAD anything left in picnic. There wasn't much when it went 30%. Now there is about an end cap worth.
Sarasuzymama Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Does all this resetting point toward a faster markdown to 75 or more drawn out? I almost feel like if they are taking the trouble to move it to an aisle of it's own, they will leave it at 30-50 for a little while to see if they can move it. I'm still crossing my fingers for THIS week!

I'm still crossing my fingers for THIS week! To me it points to faster as it means they are going to be getting the Christmas toys in & need to get them displayed. Once this stuff has arrived at the stores they need to get the seasonal outdoor playstuff gone so they can expand the toy department. Alot of the toy makers bring out special packaging & new items just for Christmas & then advertise them on TV from now till Christmas, they are usually the things that go on clearence after Christmas.
atn1275 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Any idea as to when the baby stuff goes on clearance?
MelissaS Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Any idea as to when the baby stuff goes on clearance?It's being clearanced out right now.
lovetoshopCA Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Any idea as to when the baby stuff goes on clearance?Most of it was marked yesterday at our 2 stores.
shay_n_sc Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Most of it was marked yesterday at our 2 stores.Do you remember how much of a clearance it was? 50% or more?
ilgetumipretty Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I scored yesterday in picnic stuff! Got some of the margarita/mojito mixes & a rimming sugar, one of those tubs that you can put ice & drinks in, and what I think was the best deal-- beach towels for $2.50 each. They are 7ft long! All of this was 75% off The tub, mojito & margarita mixes and sugar, 2 towels, and 2 each- plastic margarita glasses and highball glasses (not on clearance) are going to be a housewarming gift for a friend. All for under $20!
TargetMumUK Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Do you remember how much of a clearance it was? 50% or more? Our baby stuff is still on 15% - 30% clearence & there isnt much of that there. The toy departments at my 2 stores here are a MESS!!!! Stuff everywhere, I have completly lost track of all the stuff I have stashed & even stuff that I havent stashed,alot the clearence has been been taken off & isnt anywhere found which is rather scarey. I am just hoping it goes Thursday, I am so over going everyday & not getting anything. Anyone elses store re-setting??
lovetoshopCA Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Do you remember how much of a clearance it was? 50% or more?They were marking at least some of the stuff (Pooh bedding) 75% off. I wasn't in the market for most of it, so I didn't get in and look at the big stuff.
joshsmommy642 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 So if Wed, is the usual toy markdown day, does that usually mean that the items will be marked in the morning?
