Just a quick update on the Target toy clearance.
I just happened to need a birthday party gift and I stopped off at Target. The majority of toys were still at 30% and the employees were just changing over some signs to say 50% off.
I also noted a few items were 70% off.
Now again clearance varies from store to store but it looks like Target is finally marking things down.
One of the big highlights to me was the Little Tikes items- like the plastic picnic tables- were marked down 30% off. I’d snatch up that stuff if you have little ones because I doubt it will last long.
If you still need sunscreen this year, have a quick look over in the sunscreen aisles. If you spot any bonus packs of Coppertone sunscreen, you might want to scan them. Some stores have these marked down 70% but they might not be marked on sale.
There were a few random things at my Target that were great buys.
I got this Skip Hop lunchbag in the dog for $3.98. I got a Foogo lunchbag with (2) Foogo thermos inside for $4.78 and I got a little play pool thing for $8.98.
All 3 of those items were 70% off and sort of tossed in with the toy clearance. So I may have just been lucky with my store but it doesn’t hurt to keep an eye out at your store.
I don’t need that Foogo bag but those little Thermos things inside the bag are an incredible deal and now I can use them to pack mac and cheese and other warm items for the girl’s lunches.
You can see the Target clearance schedule here. Most stores do mark toys down on Wednesdays.
I’d love to hear what everyone else is finding out there. Usually the toy clearance is a big deal for me because I load up on Christmas and Birthday gifts but this year I am very underwhelmed.

All of these items were at my store in Michigan also.

Hi! I was at Target yesterday and I found the Fisher Price Trio Hot Wheels Stunt Ramp Builder on clearance for $10.78!!! There were only 2 left so I grabbed them both. We are HUGE fans of Trio Building Sets!!! This Hot Wheels set was priced around $45 for Christmas (Amazon and Kmart dropped the price to $25 on Black Friday), so I thought this was an incredible deal. I see that Amazon currently has the price down to $20. I hope the 2nd one I picked up will make another boy very happy this Christmas. 🙂 Now if I could just find the coolers and other summer items that you’re store had, I would be happy! lol! Thanks for all that you do, Charlene!

The lunch bag is cute! Our target in Buffalo seems to be pretty slim pickings compared to other regions.

FYI…at my Target store, the clearanced Foogo stuff was in the baby section.

I was at Target on Monday and got one of those Paper Jamz guitars for ~$12.50, a PaperJamz amp for ~$5, and a transformers mask for ~$5. I saw some LaLa Loopsy stuff, but not much… I was looking for stuff for my neice who is 2, but nothing caught my eye. This was at the Natomas Target. I’m saving the toys for Christmas. 🙂
Charlene says
Elaine,
Ours is too. 🙂 I was thinking maybe it was a return or something because I looked everywhere for more and couldn’t find them.

I found the bonus packs of Coppertone sunscreen marked down 90%. They weren’t marked, but scanned at the 90%. I’m guessing it was included in the summer markdown items.
Nicole says
My store (Lincoln, CA) has clearance items in the isles, as well as a complete isle of just markdowns. I found a Tangled doll for $10.97, which was marked down 50%. They had quite a bit of Legos at 15 -30% off. The summer stuff was completely gone.

Target has thrown me for a loop this year. They started the clearance of toys in June at 30% with only a very few select toys and very slowly each week since they have been adding toys. By last week it seems the entire toy section was on clearance ranging mostly still at 30% but finally some of those toys that had been lingering since June were marked to 50%
I did however score a lot great deals. Some Lalaloopsey stuff, Monster high car, Rapunzel Disney Jewelry box, Brave crown and earring set, Thomas the Train set and trains, my favorite though was the Polly Pockets on clearance and then got the added bonus of the coupon for some excellent savings!!

I hit up Target this morning and found the Fisher Price Trio Hot Wheels at 70% off also, $10.78 from 35.99. I got one for my son and one for my nephews. They still had quite a few left! I also picked up a couple Kre-O Transformer sets for 5.98 each, marked down 50%. There was quite a bit of clearance toys but mostly at 30-50% off and still aisle by aisle (not in their own section). No Skip Hop lunchies that I could find. I did see some slip and slides and such but they were only marked down 30%. (Everett, WA)

Some end caps in my Bristol, VA store had items 30% off, but there was hardly anything there. I was there last Friday and the Friday before as well and it was the same, 30% off and the same items. Usually they have one big section with all of the markdown toys but I saw quite a few aisles with their own individual markdowns. They’re keeping them at mostly 30%.

Hi Charlene!
I found that cute foogo bag at my store but it was missing a tag. They said they had no way of looking it up, they would just use another item like it. Too many thermos items… Anyhow I was hoping I could get the number from you? They are holding it for me till tomorrow. Crazy request I know 🙂 thanks
Charlene says
Sure Lisa it is 030052740 and the name is Bento Tote and the price was $4.48.
Lisa says
Thanks so much Charlene, I got the bag! Love it cant wait to use it!

I also was able to find one Foogo bag but it didn’t have the tag (it was probably the last one in the store). A manager told me she would create a tag and give me a price that was almost double to what you found. Unfortunately, she would not give me the price as mentioned in your blog. In the end, when I went to get the tag for this item, the customer service rep gave me a discount (not sure if this was the original plan or not), but I got the bag with food containers for $2.26! What a find!
Charlene says
Susan,
I am sorry that was confusing to you. As I mentioned on the post, clearance varies from store to store. I can’t promise you will find what I have found or at the same price I find it at. Really the only thing to do is just go to the store to look. People tend to like to see what other people purchase so I occasionally show what I buy just as a sample only of what could possibly be found in other stores. Clearance will never be exactly the same for every single store. I wasn’t posting this particular item and saying- here is a deal you can go get. I was just highlighting a clearance sale on numerous items that readers might be interested in checking out.

Thank you for the clarification Charlene. I appreciate your feedback and understand that prices do vary. I just mentioned that I saw your price, but did not pursue it further when the manager said that she could not honor a price featured on a blog. I understand why she couldn’t do this and was pleasantly surprised when I ended up with a great price in the end.
