I’m back from my local Target & they had marked toy clearance to 75% off today. However, it sounds like most locations are still marked at 30 – 50% off. If this is the case, then most likely tomorrow will be the day for the majority of the stores to mark their toy clearance to 75% off. So, even if you’ve only seen the clearance prices at 30% off – they could jump to 75% off tomorrow or even Friday.
At my location, I found that they started with only 1 or 2 employees slowly marking down the clearance, so it was taking awhile to get thru all of the aisles. They did not switch the signs to 75% off until they were finished with the whole section – so many signs still said 30% off when I arrived. When I tried to scan items that had not been marked down yet, it showed up as “Item not available”. Once the employees scanned one item, then all the identical items were then marked down in the system. A few of the employees were so nice to scan a few of our items so we could see if they were 75% off.
So, the point is that even if an item does not have a sticker price that is 75% off, there are no signs for 75% off & it scans as “unavailable”- this does not mean that the items are not marked in the system. You just have to be patient & wait for the employees to scan everything. Thankfully they started bringing out more employees & they had 4-5 people scanning & putting new clearance stickers on by the time I left.
My tip is to put the items into your cart that you’re interested in & then wait as they work to scan all the items & mark them down. Just stay courteous to the employees as they were working hard to get items marked down & it’s going to be quite busy in there tomorrow!
I have to head out for an appointment, but here’s a quick list of some of the items I found (I was shopping for girl items) – I’ll add pictures when I get home:
-Tinkerbell Balloon Playset – $4.98 (reg $19.99)
-Little People Fairy Treehouse – $5.98 (reg $23.99)
-Nesting blocks – $3.34
-Circo 30 pc track set (can be used with other train tracks) – $3.98
-Leapster Didj System – $17.48 (reg. $69.99) **Amazing deal!!
-Curious George Hide & Seek Zoo game – $4.98
-Playmobil 16 pc Underwater set – $1.57

The Target by Washington Square Mall in OR had the Tickle Hands for Elmo, as well as a few other Elmo play sets marked down 75%. I got the hands for just under $8.
Sarah-So, that store was 75% off for all their toy clearance?
What Target do you go to?
I went to the S Hill Mall Target in Puyallup.
I went to the Hillsboro, OR & Raleigh Hills Targets, and they are still at 30%. I hit the Tanasbourne location and got a Buzz Lightyear sprinkler for $5.54, a Bubble Generator for $7.83 (only 30% off, but my kid will LOVE it!) & a Tonka Chuck & Friends Triple Track Tower for $4.24. Not too bad! The Tonka track is a b-day present for my almost 1 year old, and my 3 year old will love the other 2 toys! I’m going to try Hillsboro & Raleigh Hills again tomorrow to see if they are marked down yet. They had some nice stuff still on the shelves.
