Didn’t make it to my Target until almost 9pm and a lot of stuff was gone, but I did manage to find some deals. Most of the stuff I bought was between $1-$4, originally $10-$20. I found several gifts for my son’s birthday on Sunday, as well as some gifts to give as party favors. Thanks for the tip! I saved a ton of money!

Thank you SO much! Seriously, I cleaned up. I bought one of the Diego Doodle Pros. Then I realized, Hey, I have twins. Wouldn’t it be great to have one for each of them? I went back and they were ALL GONE! Ugh, I’ve been looking all over for them! (Anybody want to trade for some polly pockets — wink, wink). You saved me so much money and grief. I immediately emailed my girlfriends and they all went out, too. Yeah!!!

WOW!!!! I almost didn’t go, I really was thinking, what could my target really have, usually it’s all out of sale stuff. But I am glad I went, with birthdays, and Christmas, those can add up. I was able to get $445.29 dollars worth of stuff for $140, and it’s all super cool stuff!!! Thank you so much for mentioning this! I think you just saved our holiday budget!!!

THANKS FOR THIS POST!! I found a Hannah Montana doll for my neice marked down from near $30 to $6.22. I also found a Geotrax set for $8 (normally $31). I found Legos for $4, toy cars for $2-3, and board games for $1.50. All told, I spent $47 for $167 worth of toys (my calculations include tax).

If there was some award for “best blog post deal” of the day, you would get it!

Thanks for this tip! It’s a long drive to the closest Target but I went right out after I read this. My daughter is getting bored/too old for her “baby” toys, and now she’s got a nice selection of big girl toys to play with!

Thanks Mercedes for the heads up the other day. I was at Target this morning really early, and the sales clerks were still tagging the toys Got 300 worth of stuff for 80 bucks, great deals. I wanted to buy more, hehee, but had to control myself as I already had bought quite a few stuff few weeks back at Kmart when they had their toys extra 50% off. Thanks for all that you do.

Thanks for letting us know! I’ve been going into Target almost every day this week to check and see if it was 75% clearance time yet. I got many birthday and Christmas presents…I even managed to hide a few items in the cart for my 4 and 7 year olds!

I happened to be online when you made your post and left immediately . My hubby’s a teacher and home for the summer, so I said “I’m going to Target” and left him with the kids. Got some great stuff. A few things for my kids and some games that will make good family gifts at christmas for the extented family. I got 3 Cranium games for $5!!! Got the Diego Doodle Pro ($5) for my son and a couple of crash cars ($3) for my son. Aqua Doodle ($6) and Barbie Mariposa ($5) for my daughter. Also picked up this Alligator Clicker for my son for $1.50 which I gave to him when I got home. He’s 16 months and has been walking around the house going “rarrrr”. Thanks so much for the heads up.

Thanks for the update. Went to my local Target and they had some at 75% but not a ton. There was still alot at either 30% or 50% off. All the summer stuff (bubbles, water toys, etc) were 30% off Anyone know if they will mark them down more as times go on?

My Target went 75% off to! I got some great deals!

Partini $5
Fisher-Price Pull & Pop Pelican $4.48
Dolls for $3.02
Card games for $1
K’Nex for $1.24

Some of the things I got I’ll use to spoil my cousin’s kids when they come visit in a few weeks, some I’ll save for Christmas gifts and the rest will be taken to the shelter for women and children.

Great deals there today! I want to stop at another Target later!
