I mentioned yesterday that I was headed to Target to check out the Valentine’s Clearance and that I did. It was all 50% off (as expected) so I only bought a few things. But I did take a few pictures of things to keep an eye out for.
Bakeware:
I wouldn’t mind replacing ALL of my cookie sheets, so I am totally going on a hunt for these Nordic Ware baking sheets. I picked one up yesterday for $4.99 (reg. $9.99), but if I could snag a bunch at $0.99, I’d be so happy. All these things, the Nordic Ware cupcake pans, the Nordic Ware heart pancake pan, etc. were on an end cap in the cookware area. NOT in the Valentine’s section. And the tag in my store was hidden, so no one was even looking. Anything you see with these types of labels, should rig up on clearance. There were a few more Wilton pieces I saw (heart shaped cookie tins, mini bundt pan tins, etc.).
Toys / Snacks:
I didn’t see a ton of hidden Valentine’s clearance toys, but I did see a few things. I am for sure going to keep my eyes open for those Disney Lip Smackers kits when things get marked down further. And as usual, there were Disney dolls, mini Barbies, Play-Doh, etc. Ohh, and be on the look out for the Frito-Lay snack packs. The bags look just like the regular ones except they have a heart on the front.
Misc:
These are just a few of the standard Valentine’s clearance items. None of them (with the exception of the crayons) were actually in the clearance area, but it was obviously they were Valentine’s. I included the picture of the crayons (and the bouncy balls in the first picture) so you can see what type of packaging you are looking out for. ANYTHING with that packaging will be included in the clearance.
The box on the left? Not part of the clearance. The box on the right? Part of the clearance. I am certain the other people in this aisle thought I was a total case for taking these in the store, but whatever. Other than the characters in the package, there is no difference between these two items. I am almost 100% certain you will find all these mixed together in the regular aisle if you go to your local Target. Mine were ALL mixed up. Just remember, the square box on the right is the clearance. The box on the left that’s kinda curved with a label on the side? Not on clearance.
Other than the baking sheert, I wasn’t overly excited about what I found this year. Books and pajamas aren’t included in the clearance anymore ;( and DVD’s haven’t been for ages, which makes me sad. Don’t get me wrong, it’ll be ON when it’s 90% off, but for 50% off, I took it easy. Did you pick up anything? What’d you get? And in case you want to know what I think, I am guessing 70% off will start tomorrow. Totally a guess. I have no inside information. UPDATE: Clearly I have no inside information! I went earlier and it was 70% off already. Everything was still marked 50%, but scanned 70%! Get shopping!
