Target Clearance Information

It seems that the old clearance schedule is out the window. I'm not sure if it's the poor economy or a new company policy, but the Target stores near me are clearancing items at a MUCH slower rate lately.  Nonetheless, there are some good clearance items available at the Ames Target store.  My finds:

• Backpacks 75% off!  Most backpacks are in the $3.50-$5.00 range right now, and there are MILLIONS of them.  My hint: look back in the luggage area for some of the more rugged backpacks like Jansport which are also 75% off.
• School supplies 75% off.  Yes, and they still have quite a bit.  If you need folders, composition notebooks, pencils, pens, or 3 ring binders, go for it.
• Many summer items finally at the 50-75% off level.  There aren't a lot, but the deals are great with what's left.
• Kids clothes, and lots of them, at 50% or more.  Also a LOT of shoes for adults and kids.
• Many clearance markdowns starting in the electronics department, especially in the camera area.  I'm guessing they're clearing out the older models for new one for holiday shopping, but take advantage while you can.
• The dollar spot also has some clearance items left--the brown dot items are 50% off, and it's mostly educational supplies like workbooks.  Though not on clearance, they have really cute accessories for Halloween costumes for $1.  Foam swords, plastic shields and helmets were our favorites, and they had a lot of costumes for smaller pets in the same area.

I am going to be a little absent this week as I try to get some fall cleaning done, but I will come and post if I hear of any really great deals.  


Oooh, this is a reader-submitted bargain I want to share.  I almost forgot again. I'm not sure when the codes expire, but they're worth a try.  Looks like great savings.  Thanks again to my anonymous commenter.
