Rockfordmom Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I haven't seen any hand soap, dishwasher tabs, kids toothpaste, garbage bags or any of the other great finds spotted last year. Are they out there? Last year I remember some of us were lucky enough to find the dishwasher tabs (the ones with the penguins on them). I didn't have to buy any for months and was hoping for the same run of luck, but I never spotted them before the 25th, so not sure companies were even doing the holiday themed items anymore. Found the tissues, but that's it. Thoughts?I saw it only because I was one of the first people in line on the 26th and grabbed a couple and went back a couple minutes later and everything was pretty much gone, in under 5 minutes. I got dish soap, garbage bags and ziploc (or hefty or glad??) bags and containers. I saw the kleenex too and it was going fast. I usually get there 15 or so minutes after they open and all of that stuff is usually all gone.
Sedonahiker Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 They did not have the dishwasher tabs. I haven't seen the trash bags for a couple of years. They did have regular hand dish soap, but I still have some from 3 years ago! I did get the softsoap hand soap. They still have some of the cinnamon scent (red) ones at a few stores. Check the regular aisle. It rang up full price the first day, but got marked down on day 2. I managed to get Ziploc bags and LOADS of aluminum foil. I wish I had gotten more of the nonstick foil as I use more of that than the regular, but I got some of both. I had coupons on both the foil & ziplocs, so I was happy. I am in San Gabriel Valley, CA. also! Did you find any of the stores 75% today. I called a few and they said they were still at 50%. I went to one in Upland and it was at 50% still also.
GinaInIL Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 My mom and I scored two years ago and havent been as lucky since. We were at the store the day items went to 90% and they were bringing out carts full of press n seal, dish soap, palmolive, and misc Christmas. I still have 2 boxes of press n seal left... We haven't been nearly as lucky since. Have had my eye on an instant canopy. We have some long Sundays on the football fields with my kids, that sun is murder with out it. Our store was at 50% and had 3 left so I'm holding my breath for 75%.
elicia423126 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Shoot, I'd be happy to find Spike under $75. I'm new to the whole clearance shopping thing but will definitely be on the lookout this year for him. Do you think Target is a better bet? I haven't been yet, but I know my WM had at least a pallet left. Well, I would say if Spike is 50% off at your Walmart then buy it, and if it goes 75% at Target and you are able to get one, return the Walmart one later. If it isn't marked 50% at Walmart take it over to a scanner. I have done that a lot the past two days, and have been pleasantly surprised.

I bought dozens of boxes at 75% off last year and it almost killed me to buy a box in October (after running out of my '08 holiday stash) at regular price!

Our store was at 50% and had 3 left so I'm holding my breath for 75%. I scored on scotch tape about 4 years ago I think 90% off and was amazed this year that I ran out! Kind of regret the 50 or so I gave an old lady heading to checkout lol.
sbnoland Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Were you at the South Anchorage store? I went to the Muldoon store the other day and it was looking pretty picked over. I figured they wouldn't go until tomorrow. I'll be there tomorrow morning bright and early :)It was at the Muldoon store. They have put a lot more Christmas out since the 26th. I could not believe how much candy and wrapping paper there was!
Karebeare Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Anyone go 75% off today who had not yesterday? I'm assuming everyone is out shopping the 75% off and thats why they are not on here yet :)
aj4545 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Sitting outside of one right now. I soooo hope I'm not wasting my time because I'm showing up late to work just so I can get a new tree
lindabacker Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Sitting outside of one right now. I soooo hope I'm not wasting my time because I'm showing up late to work just so I can get a new tree I'm shocked that you still have trees in the stores. Ours went 50% off over a week before Christmas and sold out then.
aj4545 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I'm shocked that you still have trees in the stores. Ours went 50% off over a week before Christmas and sold out then.[/quote I went to one yesterday and was shocked at how many they had! That one is further from work so that's why I'm not there. We have a bunch of Targets though
bamaprincess Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Our store had TONS left yesterday and it was still at 50% off. I am going back in just a minute to check. I hope I don't waste a trip. I see me going every day until it hits 90%. I am a clearance addict.

kristen4kids Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I know this is the Target forum, but I saw the green spike on clearance at WM the other day for $59.I saw spike for 50%off at walmart as well.

donnandale Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Columbia, SC finally went 75% today. I got 2 trees. I had checked availability on line and the store that is about 30 minutes away had both of the trees I wanted so I took a chance they would be at 75%. They had a ton of stuff left, including stuff I had never seen at my store. Spent $165 for $460 worth of stuff.
Sarasuzymama Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Just called one here in KC and they said 75% off. But...is it worth going out in the snow? That is the question! I reeeeeeaaaaallllly want a Christmas tree this year...I missed out last year!
sfven Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Ugh, still 50% here. I'm tired of getting to the store at opening the last 2 mornings only to find it hasn't changed to 75%. Of course it'll probably go 75% tomorrow when I can't get there until the afternoon...with both kids!!
sabbie Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Went to 2 Targets this morning in Bradenton/Sarasota FL and they are still at 50% off! Couldn't believe it, I scanned a ton of stuff and the signs were right still 50% and candy still 30%. Talk about annoying.
lovetoshopCA Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I am in San Gabriel Valley, CA. also! Did you find any of the stores 75% today. I called a few and they said they were still at 50%. I went to one in Upland and it was at 50% still also.No, they were 50%. I am swamped with work, and there is so little left that I'll probably go out this morning for a bit, but I won't hit more than a couple of stores. Did you find much?
lovetoshopCA Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Really wanted to get some more of those dishwasher tabs, but maybe now I can actually stop obsessing about them! I bought dozens of boxes at 75% off last year and it almost killed me to buy a box in October (after running out of my '08 holiday stash) at regular price!I'm still using the ones from last year, but I wish I hadn't bought so many. They leave a white coating on my glasses. I have to use glass magic once a month, at least, just to keep them clean. I briefly switched to Cascade to see if that was the problem, and it was. No white gunk with Cascade, but I am not going to toss the others. I'll use them up. But NO MORE!
siageah Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Springfield Delco PA went 75%. We were there for over an hour and they still hadn't changed the signs though. So it was still signed at 50%.
kfinto65 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 All Christmas items 75% off at the Temple, Texas Target!
Karebeare Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 All Christmas items 75% off at the Temple, Texas Target!Does the stuff scan first thing in the morning when they open?
kfinto65 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Does the stuff scan first thing in the morning when they open?Yep! I was there when they first opened this morning.
desertgirl351 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Still 50% here. But the manager said they will be marking down tomorrow. I hope he is right!
