Run to target!

[Sopamanda]

75% off. I totally scored!

[schrocat]

Yay :) Good for you. I was at my neighbourhood target at 8 am this morning. Still 50% off.

[Kungjo]

OKay, I'll biit. What's 75% off? :)

[bonbon98]

Toy clearance

[Melaine]

Lots of good stuff at my target last night. Tried to hold back though....I've really been buying too much stuff lately!

[Sopamanda]

Lots of little things; jump ropes for .75, lots of party favor type things for $2.00 or less. Perfect for DS birthday party I'm planning. :)

[quinnsmom]

:( There wasn't much on clearance at my local Target. Summer stuff like blow up pools, etc. But no toys. Although I think that has something to so with the fact that this Target just opened up last week - so they probably had a lot of new stock already and not much to clear out.

[babyready]

Our closest Target is always way behind on the markdowns. I went today and most stuff was still at 30%. Ugh! I know the ones that is 20 minutes away most likely has everything at 75% but it is just so far away...

[Twoboos]

A few things I saw today (was trying to make mental notes!!) in Westboro, MA:

- Little Enstiens playsets - north pole and pyramids - ~$4
- Baby I'm Yours swing/highchair/carrier ~$4
- Some pampers in a 30% off section, could not easily locate price, along with other baby gear
- Very cute stuffed animals for $1.24
- Cabbage Patch kids feed & wet babies (will not enter my house :)) - ~$4?
- Create your own pic frame kit $1.25ish
- Hobbydo's foam sticker & stamp set - rang up ~$4

They were rearranging everything in the store so there were whole sections of the store with nothing - which made it hard to shop for what I had originally gone there for!

PS - I LOVE Target endcaps!!! :)

[Mommy Of A Little Angel]

Yes fabulous deals! I hit up two Targets this morning. Here's some of what I got:

Train Table - $20

There's more, I just can't think of it now! I saw lots of Thomas sets, trains, etc, great outdoor toys (sandbox, chalk, jump ropes, etc), some VSmile stuff, Baby Alive, etc. Good luck because both Targets had different stuff. Not everything was actually marked, but I price checked a lot and most was 75% off!

Did they have a sandbox on clearance, or toys for a sand box? Thanks!

[scoop22]

i am so jelous.. i never find toy sales at target.. boo hoo.:cry:
everyone enjoy your deals..

[Mommy Of A Little Angel]

The sandbox. They had two different ones. The Play Wonder one with the canopy on top ($25 I think?) and then a Step2 one that is small and more like a sand play area. Didn't really look at it that much but it was cheap!

[hez]

Mine was already cleared out this afternoon :(

[MMMommy]

What brand is the Kids Microphone - $2.08? Where was it located?

The microphone happened to be in the special clearance aisle. It comes in a clear, plastic tube box with purple paper inside and says "Real Microphone" and "Starring Me." The box says that it was distributed by Target, so it was made specifically for Target. It uses 2 AA batteries.

Update: Just looked at the microphone. It looks like you need to have it near some radio frequency to use it.

Good luck!

[chlobo]

can anyone post the dpci on the sandbox & play wonder work bench?

[MMMommy]

can anyone post the dpci on the sandbox & play wonder work bench?

The DPCI number on my receipt for the Play Wonder Workbench is 204121634.

[BelleoftheBallFlagstaff]

I looked and we had one little end cap that was clearance. I didn't find anything:32:

[MarisaSF]

I got some FP Soccer Goal thingie for $5.xx marked down from $20. I had been eyeing that for a while. :)

The little red plastic wagon by Battat was marked down to $3.xx from $15.xx.

All Play Wonder stuff for summer was going 75% off.

[MMMommy]

Just wanted to mention that a lot of the clearance items were mixed into the regular aisles of toys and not just in the endcap or in the clearance specific aisles. Many "easy to miss" clearance items were in the regular toy aisles, but marked with the orange clearance stickers. For example, the VSmile Pocket was in the regular Leapster/VSmile section.

[KimMae]

Word Moon Sand - $5
Picnic basket with stainless steel cups/plates and fabric tablecloth - $3.xx

Really cheap bubble blowers and sandbox toys
Really cheap girls sunglasses

[bigsis]

$20 for a train table? Would you mind posting the SKU or ANY numbers so i can call to see if they have it before i run to every Target out there? TIA!

[melonkelli]

I was just at the Cupertino, CA location and got a bunch of stuff:

Sand Animals (for goodie bags) $.48 each
Crayolas (on sale, not clearance) 24 pack for $.22 each
Deluxe Chalk (the boys were with me and they wanted McQueen chalk) $.78 each
Sand Shovels $.24 each
Mac & Cheese wooden/metal cooking set $3.47
Inflatable sprinkler toy $2.08

Bloom games (book with spinner + dolls) $3.74
Play Circular Saw $2.38

Yay!

[Sopamanda]

Good to hear that some others had luck. For you that didn't, I've been there, such a bummer. Often Target clearance is a grab your keys and run ordeal. Sometimes it works out, the rest of the time it makes you crazy.

:)

[symesa]

Amazing! Our area ones are still 30% off and the selection is slim :(

[maybeebaby08]

I went to a smaller target and got a bunch of sand toys, some little einstein stuff and bloom games at 75% off, then I went to the big Target and got

30% off Pampers & Huggies - 19.58 for 132 pack! Sign said only 15% but scanned at 30%, so I think that s why there were a ton left, I had a bunch of coupons so I got 8 packs!

I think they just marked down last night cuz there was still a pretty good selection

Speed Racer Helmet & Wheel 4,98 each
Speed Racer Activity Books 1.24 each
Little Einstein Doll 2.74
Baby Leap Frog Alphabet Octapus 4.99
Little Einstein Music Board $4.98
Hannah Montana Dance Pad 6.24

And some little sand toys for .48

[whoozyermama]

I went to 2 targets and SCORED at each one

Let's just say I probably got $600 worth of toys for about $160. I am set for presents for DD#1's bday and Xmas as well as any bday party she attends. I have 5 plastic tubs filled with toys (hiding from DD and DH--LOL--in the basement.:bighand: :cheerleader1: :yay:

[Melaine]

Wow you guys are lucky....my target is not marking that much stuff down yet! *jealous*

[ynneknat]

thanks for all the info everyone... will be heading to target this evening!

[brittone2]

We went today, and there wasn't a ton that I wanted/needed on sale. DH noticed the dirt devil toy vacuums (red, they look a little like the ones from PBK) were reduced to 3.XX, so we picked one up to donate to Toys For Tots this holiday season. (my kids already have the same vac from MIL and they both like it).

I saw some Lauri crepe puzzles marked down to $2.XX.

[zephyr]

To Cathy (Mommy of a little Angel), was the train table that you saw the Step 2 Canyon table, by chance? I'm heading out to Target first thing tomorrow morning, BTW. Ds's birthday is coming up and this is the big gift that I really want to get him.

[anamika]

Thanks OP. We got the train table for $20. It was the Little tree one (SKU 204060608). I can't even find a second hand table for $20! It's this one.

HTH someone.

[mamatomax]

I went yesterday, and I totally scored :) It's amazing how much it varies from store to store. I went to the first one (the closest to me, which I've discovered is the best for this sale) and got tons of stuff. The second one that I went to was totally picked. I only found one thing there that wasn't the best bargain I found.

Some things that I got:

Bloom Cranium puzzle game $2.48
Aquadoodle colors mat $7.48
Bob the Builder Benny toy $1.24
Spy Gear Surveillance mobile spy ear $2.18
Dora the Explorer Build-a-mailbox $3.74
Bio Bytes dinosaur $2.48
Girlz Connect LocketPal $3.24
Backyard Safari Netgun $7.48

[frugalmom]

Thanks so much I totally scored!!

Now I have my Christmas shopping done.

[MMMommy]

I ventured out to farther away Targets today--Colma and Daly City, CA Targets. Totally cleaned out of anything good. Nothing left really.

[Jacksmommy2b]

I went to one today and although it was pretty picked over (and the signs only said 30% off) I did manage one good deal.

I scored the VTech V-smile full size unit for $12.48!

204040130

I also got a blues clues game for the v-smile for $5.72 - but all the other games were $11.xx so, I'll keep checking back for them.

Anyone have the numbers for any other V-smile cartridges?

[greatcanuk]

I'm a toyaholic. I went to 3 Targets total with no car; it involved getting on multiple buses, trains, and 3 reusable bags. I got/saw the following--everything was under $5, mostly around $2-$3:

Fun Slides carpet skates
Chicken Socks Closepin Cuties, Foam Gliders, and Tiaras
Matchitecture (think Kapla but matchsticks instead)
Hobby Do's foam alphabet set
Crayola paper pads
Big O'ball
Play Foam (glow in the dark activity kit, and jumbo 12-pack)
Curiousity Kits pirate chest
Pirateology dress up
Little Tree wooden responsibility chart (like Melissa and Doug's)

**I'm still looking for the matching monthly calendar--if anybody sees it, pls. grab it for me, or let me know where. I knew I should have grabbed it at 30% off.**
assorted Tatiri items--play watch, bookmarks
