Well I just disappeared for a couple hours – sorry for the lack of posts, but my mother-in-law sent me this photo via text this morning around 8:30 a.m. so off to Target I just had to go. I didn’t find quite the 50% off stock that she did, but my local store (Olympia, WA) did have quite a few toys marked down to 50% off, hidden within 30% off signs. You sort of have to dig.
I recommend checking your local store. The photo at the top of this post was taken at Lakewood, WA Target. Even the Monster LEGO set was 50% off! Other LEGO sets were 30% off. You might just find what you’re looking for at 50% off – and the markdowns just started, so selection should still be good.
You can always pick something up at 50% off and hold on to your receipt to see if it drops to 70% off. Then buy it at 70% off and return the one you bought at 50% off. That’s what I would do if I really wanted something – because it’s very possible it could be snatched up at 70% off. They won’t price adjust, but you can return with a receipt within 30 days without issue.
I didn’t end up buying any toys. I’m going to take my chances and wait for 70% off. I did however find some other exciting deals.
Christmas is 70% off – I bought some red cups that will work perfectly for my kid’s class for Valentine’s day party for only 60 cents.
Softsoap holiday flavors are $1 (reg. $2.39 and still marked $2.39 on the shelf). These are the bigger bottles. Not too bad of a deal.
If you need a Christmas tree – now is the time to pick them up. The Olympia store had an aisle full of artificial trees at 70% off.
My favorite find was these Seagrass baskets – only $3.58 – 70% off the regular price of nearly $12. They’ll work well in my bathroom! I found them on an endcap near the bedding.
