Target Clearance Report

As promised, here is the clearance report for this week! I have to say I wasn't too diligent in hunting for deals today, but this is what I spotted!

Clothing:

Still a rack or two of 75% off clothing in girls/boys/infant/toddler. I noticed Nick & Nora PJs marked down further than last week (now $3.74-- 75% off). Also, some of the designer clothing in the seasonal "Great Save Event" section is marked to 50% off. I saw boys Polo Ralph Lauren shirts at 50% off...they were about $10.98.

Toys:

Both of my stores have TONS of Backugan toys at 30-50% off. Like hundreds of packages. I'm excited for these to make it to 75% off because I think there will be plenty to go around! The 50% off price varies from just over $3 for single Backugans to just over $5 for a set of two. There were also GI Joe sets, Transformer sets, and a couple of babydolls marked down 30-50% off.

Household:

There is an endcap full of laundry items at both of my stores. These are just 15-30% off right now...it would be nice to snag some of this at 50% of and use coupons to make the price even better.

The bed/bath area seems to be 50% off around here, but I'm hearing that some stores are 75% off. My stores are pretty picked over already.

Some barbecues/outdoor heaters/accessories are 30% off at my store. I also saw a few indoor space heaters at 30% off.

I didn't see any at my store, but I saw online that people have found car care kits (Armour All, etc) for $5 (75% off). That may be a good thing to save for Father's Day this year!

Did I miss anything? Have you scored any great clearance deals at your Target lately?

PS...I did the Quaker Deal today and it worked like a charm! 5 single-serve Oatmeal cups for FREE (used 5 of the $1/1 coupons) and I got a $5 gift card, too! I love getting paid to shop at Target!

Target Deals This Week!

I like to wait until I actually go to Target to post the weekly Target deals, but there is a deal so HOT that I didn' t want to wait to tell you! I will post the Clearance Report tomorrow after I make it to the store!

Here's that HOT HOT HOT deal!

Buy 5 Quaker Oatmeal products (includes Oatmeal Squares Cereal, Chewy Bars, and select other items), get a $5 gift card
For the Cereal:
Buy 5 boxes at $2.75
Total: $13.75
Get a $5 gift card back
Total after gift card= $8.75 or $1.75/box
So this was a good deal to begin with for the cereal...which is normally like $4/box at my grocery store.

But the really AWESOME deal is on single-serve oatmeal cups. People are reporting that the GOLDEN BROWN SUGAR single serve oatmeal cups are part of this deal and they are only $1.02 each. AND, there are $1/1 coupons here and here (you have to "create a day" for a friend to get the coupon on the second link) that do not have any size restrictions that should work with these.

Here is what the deal looks like:
Buy 5 Golden Brown Sugar single serve cups: $1.02 each
Total: $5.10
Get a $5 gift card back
=$.10 total after gift card or $.02 each
**If you are able to use any of the $1/1 coupons, this will be a moneymaker!

On these two days you will have an opportunity to see all 10 movies (5 movies per day) for a pretty good discount off of regular movie ticket prices. Plus, how fun is it to have a movie marathon in the theater?!

First, you will want to find a local theater that is participating (there are only a limited number) HERE.

Here are ticket prices:

If you are a MovieWatcher member and go to all 10 movies, that is only $4 per movie...what a GREAT deal! If you are not a member, you can join MovieWatchers online today so that you can get the discounted price! (It's free to join).

You also get a large popcorn with unlimited refills for that price (that's a $50 value per day).

Tickets go on sale on February 12th both online and at the box offices. Also check out the FAQ here if you have any questions or want more info.
