I just found this really great post over at Holistic Homemaking that outlines 8 ways to save big at Target. I got a little giddy when I found this because Target is my absolute favorite place to shop. I am not quite sure why, but give me an evening of free time with hubby watching the kids and you’ll know where to find me!
The very best tip from the list that I had never seen laid out before is the markdown schedule. It’s no longer a mystery LOL… Thanks April for outlining this!
Weekly Markdown Schedule
Monday – clothing {children’s}, electronics, stationery, office supplies, gift wrap
Tuesday – clothing {women’s}, domestics, food, pets
Wednesday – clothing {men’s}, health & beauty, lawn & garden
Thursday – shoes, toy, lingerie, housewares, decor, luggage, sporting goods, music, movies, books
Friday – cosmetics, jewelry, auto, hardware
** Target is widely popular and their clearance items go FAST. Going the day the clearance starts is going to give you the best shot at finding the right size, color, etc of the item you are looking for. **
Semi-Annual Markdown Schedule
These clearance events occur over the span of a month’s time. Prices start at 30% then move to 50%, 75% and 90% in weekly intervals. Shopping as the month progresses means you will see deeper discounts, but the inventory might not be that great. If you have your eye on something you will probably need to snag it sooner rather than later.
January & July – Baby Items.
January, July & October – Toys.
Holiday Markdown Schedule
markdowns are taken every 2-3 days
Days 1-3 after holiday = 50% off
Days 4-6 after holiday = 75% off
Days 7-9 after holiday = 90% off
