So today is the 1st of November which means we should see great clearance sales on Halloween items at Target.
I know I would personally rather have a poke in the eye then more candy but there are so many good deals on other stuff too!
Often you can find children’s clothing and pj’s for big discounts, household items like napkins, plates, hand soap, little toys like stuffed things, cars, Barbies, food items like pretzels, snack bags of various treats, mac and cheese and tons and tons more.
It doesn’t hurt to hunt around and see what you find.
I have to get to Target today because I am in charge of all the toys for our group Operation Christmas Child boxes this year (so save some good deals for me!).
Typically the stuff mentioned above goes on sale for 50% off and the candy holds out at 30% off. Target usually wants to get rid of this stuff fast so you can expect it to go down to 70% off possibly by Sunday. (That is if stuff is still available.)
The candy they seem to drag out as long as they can so that might be 50% off on Sunday.
And if you do happen to see those cute little Barbies pictured above, they should ring up as Buy One Get One 50% off even with the sale so make sure to grab two!
And for the magic question-when will they hit 90% off? I really don’t know. The last year or so Target has seemed to have 70% off as the lowest discount they have offered however I have always found Halloween merchandise and Easter merchandise specifically to be when they do offer the biggest discounts of the year. My guess is that Sunday will be 70% off and possibly 90% off somewhere around the 6th or the 7th. There most likely won’t be a lot left but one little thing that people forget are the cupcakes and cookies in the deli area. Target seems to forget to note that those things are on clearance so if you do spot them at your store just give them a quick scan. I think we got 4th of July cupcakes for like $.60 earlier this year.
If you decide to hit Target let us know what you find! I’ll update this post with anything fabulous I pick up today.
**Oh and don’t forget to check the Dollar Spot. Some stores will already be at 50% off.
(Thanks All Things Target)

I was at 2 different target’s this morning, 50% off costumes. The One Spot shopping cart coupon ended yesterday so you can’t use it on those items. But most of the one spot was 50% off anyway. Monster Cereal is 30% off as is the candy as mentioned.

I just got some awesome stuff at the Halloween clearance. Finally got a fog machine for next year, and a bunch of pumpkin buckets for .50 to hang from a tree in our yard. I love after-holiday clearance!
Also, I spotted a great toy deal that I wanted to mention to you:
I saw that the Rowdy the Garbage truck Play-doh toy is on price cut for $14.99, down from $29.99, I think the price cut may end today or tomorrow, can’t remember. But there is a 10% Cartwheel offer that ends today for this toy, and there is a $3 mfq from the paper a few weeks back. Makes the toy $10.49!!
I hope if someone wants this toy they can go get it today. It’s something my son has been wanting for a while.

I got 2 Barbies for $8.98!!! I also got a 5 pack of Hot Wheels for $2.49 and a package of Halloween Chips Ahoy cookies for $1.03.
Dallas says
My target was only at 30% for costumes/ holloween goods and candy today 🙁
Charlene says
Frustrating Dallas. Did you scan it to be sure? Mine was a mix- food items at 30 and the other stuff 50.It was all wiped out by 3pm when I made it over there though.
Alison says
Mine (West Seattle) was only 50% off and there was nothing I had to have this year. I have bought a bunch in the past but there’s nothing I want yet… maybe at 70%+ off I might consider it!
I did go to Michaels yesterday and their Halloween stuff was 80% off! I wasn’t there for Halloween things but bought a cute decorations for next year. I couldn’t resist with the huge markdown!
Sophie says
My target in WI went to 70/50% off today.
Gretchen says
My Target was 70% off on Sunday, Nov. 3rd, but the signs still said 50% off.
Jasmine says
Yesterday I went to a Target by my work and it was totally cleaned out of everything but one little display of party favors and such.
Today I went to the Target by my house and they still had a ton of stuff. I just grabbed 2 boxes of orange LED lights that were originally $15 each, for $4.50 ea., plus I used the 10% off 2 Philips lights coupon from Target’s website and got another .90 off, making them $4.05 each!!
I also got some spider webs for .60 per bag, a cute t-shirt for my daughter for $1.79, a Wolverine costume for $3, an Angry Birds dress costume for $6, some Halloween paper plates for .75 per package, a big box of Market Pantry fruit snacks with for $3.49 (plus I bought a regular sized box for $1.69 and used the $1 off 2 MP fruit snacks coupon), 12 ct. box Clif kids fruit twists for $2.99, big boxes of Pirate’s Booty little bags for $3.49, and I think that’s it ;D
Oh, and unrelated, but I also found some Clearance Converse shoes for $13.48, used the $5 Target coupon from the site (now gone), and the new 20% Cartwheel coupon. Got them for $6.xx !!
Charlene says
Jasmine, when I was there today there were 2 carts of Halloween items they were putting back on the shelf. Must have been returns 🙂
Amy says
Not sure when but my store had 90 percent today.
