I have had a couple requests from people wanting to know exactly what clearance deals I buy at Target. So, at the end of each month I plan on showing you exactly what clearance deals I picked up at Target that month. I will share what I paid for them and what my plan is for those items. I like to buy clothing off season, items for our gift closet, and many other items before we need them. I find that by shopping this way it saves our family a lot of money.
I use the Target clearance markdown schedule to determine when I believe certain items in each department will be marked down, by doing this I am able to find a nice selection of items at 70% off. Shopping at the same store every week is key to learning more about the clearance levels and stock on hand. It’s not necessary to run to Target everyday if you study up on what day items in each department get marked down.
The is a larger amount of clearance in every department in January, so I purchased more this month than I do on a regular basis (thanks mainly in part to the BIG 70% off toy clearance) Here are the items I picked up in January, Christmas items were 90% off, and all other items were 70% off (with the exception of the Ninjago lego it was 50% off):
- Shirt $ .60 ($3.60 – $3/1 coupon)
- Jeans $5.98 (for my son, he actually needed a new pair)
- Pajamas $4.48 (for son, next year)
- Comforter $29.98 (This is the one I was probably most excited about. I had my eye on this set! I also plan on picking up some new curtains if I am lucky.)
- Hair Dryer $5.98 (mine broke, so it was perfect timing)
- Canisters $4.48 (I kept my eye on these for weeks! I wanted these for our bathroom)
Here are all of the toy deals I picked up in January (these items are for birthdays, Christmas, Toys for Tots, gift closet, and some items I picked up for friends and family members):
