Target Tip Off

So today (or Jan 16th) is the rumored day that target with slice toy prices to 70% off!!  These are the days that they have historically been marked down.  As part of my planning and blogging duty to my readers, I took a trip out to target last night to check out the inventory and do a little snooping.



(This sale has gotten me crazy.......I even dreamed about it last night.  I dreamed a actually slept on the aisles waiting for the sale.  Now that is serious craziness)





I found that my Target had 2 full aisles of clearance  toys and were actually adding items at that moment!  Items were a mixture of percentages.  Most were 30 and 50 % off.  A few were already marked 70% !  I was able to find 2 good items that I needed



Here is the inventory at my store

































































This is what I found for 70!! Easter basket!!







I asked two young men that were working if they believed that the toys would be marked down again  on Thursday.  The answer was probably not.  According to my store, some of them just got marked down and they typically mark down on Sunday and on the shelves on Monday.  Alot of sources say that noone will know until they give the go ahead from cooperate the very morning (so maybe they are wrong?).



My advice would be if at all possible visit your target today.  If they aren't marked down, you will at least be able to scope out your inventory and know what you are interested in purchasing.  It seems that the word around the states is that no stores have been marked to 70%.  I plan to check my store on Monday and then again next Thursday unless I hear otherwise.



Here is another tip:  Some clearance items only have 2 like items in stock.  If you see an item marked at 50 that you know you really want and there are only 2.  Buy it!! It will probably not last to the 70 mark down.  IF for some reason it does, you can return your item (with receipt) for the your money back and re-purchase the item at 70%



Make sure you go in with a list of what you may be looking for to help you stay on track.  Those prices are blinding!!! Think gifts for your birthday seasons!



I picked up 2 70% off items, 3

Boxes of rice cereal, pack of pullups, 2 trays from the dollar spot, and a box of these larabars Ive been wanted to try.









Used a pull up coupon, gift card received from a diaper promotion, and my target debit card and paid $10.28 out of pocket!!



Good day!!
