shoppinmama Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We are still 30-50% off toys in Mt Pleasant, SC. They had someone on almost every aisle moving toys and putting out new toys. Most of the clearance toys were in the first few aisles near camping. There were still a few clearance toys mixed in with the others. Also a lot on the endcaps. Global Bazaar or whatever they are calling it this year is 30% here also and on-line as well. Shocked me too. I loaded up in the baby-toddler clothing sale. I bought my son a Circo jacket for $4.24! Carters pj's were 50% off, lots of cute shirts, sweats, even socks were $1 vs $1.50. Strollers were 30-50% off. I really wanted a booster seat, but the carseats aren't on sale. I'll be back tomorrow to see if toys go 75% and to check out the baby gear! Hope I can get the kids up early...did I just say that?!? Never wake a sleeping baby except for 75% off!!

Gritz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Does anyone know if they marked down the car seats to 50% or 75% yet?Carseats are still only 15% or 30% at my Targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bargainscout Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Houston Galleria: They also had the Home Design at 30%. All items were red ticketed. There are huge, fancy 30% off signs on the walls -- not the regular clearance signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitWrangler Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ### 249 00 0022 Cosco Padded Folding Chair 8.74 (reg 34.99) These were actually comfortable and they had a bunch a couple of days ago. I can't remember if it was at Frisco or West Plano though, sorry... Would be great for a nonprofit or church group (or the weekend poker game, LOL)Shoot, I've been to three Targets now and non of them had these on clearance. Anyone find these, we are looking to purchase several and that represents a huge savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Scrapbook Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 What is the chance that the toy markdown will be 50% instead of 75%? Seems like the consensus here is 75% since the 50% should have been done by now. But you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy2justin Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am shocked that the Home Design stuff is already 30% off. It hasn't even been out 1 week yet here. Although I really want that kitchen island and will get it at 50% off if it's still there so I hope it goes down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC-Traderbear Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 What is the chance that the toy markdown will be 50% instead of 75%? Seems like the consensus here is 75% since the 50% should have been done by now. But you never know...Every year for the past 7 years, this sale (in January) has gone from 30% straight to 75% on practically everything that has been consolidated on the endcaps or in the aisles as "clearance." That's as long as I've been shopping their toy sale, so I can't say what has happened before then, but yes, I would say unless Target is choosing this year to do something drastically different, you can count on everything going straight to 75% this week. Some things are already marked 50% (as people have been mentioning). However, I think most stuff has only been ticketed to 30% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilson79 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 So should I be waiting outside of target tomorrow morning when they open in Stanley, KS or go later in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phirho Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I went to Target today, and there was an extra 30% off all the clearance girls, boys, and baby clothes. I have never seen this before. There was a lot of 50% and 75%, so it was great having an extra 30% off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie811 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 So what are people thinking/doing tomorrow? Did anyone hear anything from a target employee or anything? It's 40 minutes away and I'm curious if I should make the trip! Last year I got there 8am and the toy department only had employees shopping and their families, and maybe 4 other ladies that got wind of the toy sale, so I was able to get everything I wanted until EVERYONE called EVERYONE and people were grabbing out of carts it was like black friday again!! So I now know to get there right at 8am:yup: also does anyone have anymore lists of items they have their eyes on? I haven't been in a while so I have no clue what toys are clearanced!:eyepoppin:confused: Thanksss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katiesmommy01 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think it really depends on your target...last year one of mine went 2 days before the other...and a farther one away went the same day as the 2nd...so it's an individual target thing sometimes...i'm not taking any chances...i'm going out tomorrow AND thursday to both nearby just in case...my DD7 is starting to feel better and said she's ready to go to school again so that I can hit the toy sale for her! I'm hoping to pick up Biscuit, the sleeping beauty doll w/fairies and the tiny my little pony playset...as well as a million other things we don't "need" but i'll get carried away i'm sure :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershopper1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Snow & record cold temperatures here in Ohio. I can't believe I'm considering of going to Target after work tomorrow 20 miles away!

Back in the day, for ANY of the clearance sales you could have your pick of whatever you wanted. Now, I guess word has gotten around. I was so bummed that wind of the toy clearance sale popped up on this parenting message board that I frequent. SOooOOOOO many people didn't know about it and now they're all, "When is it? I'm going to go!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakj98 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I am debating if I want to go tomorrow or wait till Thursday. I have been to Target every single day in the last two weeks. Now my DS (2) has a cough. We are supposed to get snow tonight and it is going to be really cold tomorrow (hig of 8 degrees). Am I a bad mother cause I am thinking about taking him out to Target? Maybe I can talk my DH in to going to work late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoshopCA Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Okay, I don't do this often, but a little gloat is good once in awhile. Today was sunny and 85 degrees. Tomorrow should be the same. I have 2 Targets within 5 minutes of my house (opposite directions). Another 4 within 20 minutes and another 7 within a 30 minute drive..... Maybe we can't afford to buy a house in this insane state, but there are SOME advantages!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy2justin Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Augh!! I hope it's tomorrow. If not I'm going to miss out this year and I'm so sad. On Thursday I have to drop my son at preschool at 9 and my daughter has a doctor's appointment at 10. I have my list ready, now I just have to get the diaper bag full of toys and snacks together in case we have to kill time in Target tomorrow.

juanadeal Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Quick question, when you return something w/ a receipt to Target, do they see the price you paid as well as the current clearance price? Just wondering if I'm imagining things when I think they give me that "I know what you're up to" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can't afford to buy a house in this insane state, but there are SOME advantages!!Gloat all you want, 85 degrees is too hot for me! Come try our subzero weather - it makes you feel all tingly. Now to figure out what time to check out Target. Last year I hit it just right Thursday at 10am. They were just getting started with the markdowns, so I was able to get all I wanted and bring it to the crew if they hadn't gotten to it yet. I don't want to miss it by being too early for the markdown team to get going or by being too late and having to pick though the leftovers. Of course I will have to check tomorrow, but have my doubts about how my 2 tots will handle so much time in Target 2 days in a row... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
