This is a reminder that the BIG 70% off Target toy clearance will be happening sometime in January. There is a slim chance that the toys could go 70% off this week, but according to previous years I am guessing that they will go 70% off next week on January 12th. Target could also switch things up, where they just marked down a few items to 70% off for a couple of weeks instead of marking the majority of the toys down at once. (they did this once before). We won’t really know when it happens until it happens!
Here are some important points you will want to remember:
- The BIG markdown will probably happen on the normal toy markdown day at your store (most stores are Thursday). However, it could happen on a Wednesday (if they do it early) or on a Friday (if they are running behind).
- In all honesty, I would NOT call your store to see if the markdown has taken place. Most of the time the people that answer the phones aren’t even aware of when it happens (some don’t even know that it happens). You may get the wrong information.
- You will want to check in on the Thrifty & Thriving Facebook page on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings (you are more than welcome to check in every day) to see if anyone has posted details that their store has gone 70% off. I have several readers who plan to post on the Facebook page as soon as they know what is going on at their store.
- Don’t forget! Do not go by what the sign says (especially if it says only 50% off), sometimes they change the prices but they don’t get the chance to change the signs. Read the prices on those individual red stickers. You may find some 70% off items mixed in with 50% off items.
