Target will clearance all of their Valentine’s items to 50% off tomorrow February 15th (the bagged candy will probably start out at only 30% off). You can find lots of “non-valentine” items that will work great for Easter Basket stuffers. Don’t forget, these items will get marked down to 70% off and then eventually 90% off, which is usually when I start buying items in the holiday section. I will do my best to let you know when those markdowns have taken place. Here are a few things you can look for:
Watch for Lego sets in small bags, these were are $3.99 so they will be only $1.99 at 50% off.
This section also has Lil’ Webkinz in it that would make great gifts.
These bouncy balls are $2.00 for a pack, so at 50% off they would only be $1.00. These would be a great option to put inside of Easter eggs instead of the usual candy.
These cute Hello Kitty clips or Necklaces are $4.99, so they would be only $2.49 at 50% off.
These small Play-Doh containers would not only be great for Easter, but they would make great additions to birthday party treat bags.
There were also some Disney Squinkies in the Valentine’s section if you kids are into these.
You can also find some great food products that would be great for whenever, here are a few highlights of the food items:
This would be a cheap way to pick up some fruit snacks for your kids lunch.
They also have some snack size Quaker Chewy granola bars
You can also check for cake mix, even though the boxes are Valentine’s themed, you don’t need to use the Valentine sprinkles and such if you bake these for a birthday.
One more thing you will want to do to get ready for the Valentine clearance is to check for coupons:
Target has several candy coupons that expire several days AFTER Valentine’s Day, which means you will be able to use them on the clearance candy. Here are a few worth printing and manufacturer coupons that match-up with them.
$1.50/2 Dove Chocolate Candies Target Printable coupon
$1.50/2 Hershey Kisses Target Printable coupon
$1/2 coupon from 1/2 SmartSource insert (expires 2/18)
$1/2 M&M’s Candies Target Mobile Coupon
$1.50/2 coupon from 2/12 Red Plum insert
