Attention Target Shoppers

I ventured out in the ice to Target today, and what luck! Although the normal Target holiday markdown schedule dictates that it would hit 75% off on Wednesday or Thursday, it didn't. It was still marked 50% off (and 30% off for food items) today in our store, but it scanned all at 75% off.

The Ames store has a huge selection left, or did when I walked out of it.  There were some really good rolls of wrapping paper for 25 cents each in the dollar spot--which also was only marked 50% off but rang up 75% off.  There were many ornaments, indoor and outdoor lights, scotch tape (75% off!  3 rolls for 75 cents!), bows, boxes, along with some great looking tablecloths, many of which didn't look very Christmassy.

In the toy section, the clearance has begun.  Lots of toys are 30% off, with a few already marked half off. 

Don't forget to check other end caps, because there were some nice bath and body and perfume gift sets that were marked down to 30% off.  I didn't scan any to check if they were also lower than marked, but it's worth a shot.

In the "things you need" section, furnace filters are marked down to $9.99 with a $5 gift card when you buy two.  There are also a lot of home decorating items that are 30-50% off mixed in along with the regular-priced items.  It has been my experience that around the 7th of January many of these items will get marked lower and consolidated into the end caps.
