Ahhh!! I was up bright and early (i.e. before 8am) in hope that my Targets had their Christmas clearance 90% off, and they did!!!! Yes! Here’s what I picked up:
~Hello Kitty Lip Balm / Nail Polish Sets: $0.49 (reg, $4.99)
~Lip Smacker Sets: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Mini Mouse Set: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
I found all these in the clearance area, but make sure to check the end caps in the beauty section.
~Elf Nail Polish: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Hand Cream: $0.50 (reg. $5.00)
These were found in the regular beauty area. Unmarked, but if you know what you are looking for, it’s much easier! I wish I could have found more of these hand creams because I LOVE them!
~Kid Made Modern Craft Kits: $0.89 – $1.69 (reg. $8.99 – $16.99)
My store(s) had tons of these. Just sitting in the regular aisles mixed in with the regular Kid Made Modern Kits. Just look for the holiday craft kits and they’ll be 90% off!
~Spritz Tree Crayons: $0.30 ($3.00)
~Activity Books: $0.10 (reg. $1.00)
~Spritz Paper Straws: $0.30 (Reg. $3.00)
Honestly I can’t even make shaped crayons for the price of these. $0.30 for 6 crayons? Im in.
~Tonka Trucks: $0.59 (reg. $5.99)
~Justice League Batman Figurine: $0.39 (reg. $3.99)
~KNEX Angry Birds Packs: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Lego CHIMA Luggage Tag: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Spiderman Voice Recorder: $0.50 (reg. $5.00)
~Avengers Pencil Topper: $0.50 (reg. $5.00)
~Spiderman Light-Up Wand: $0.50 (reg. $5.00)
~Avengers Light-Up Fan: $0.29 (reg. $2.99)
Some of these you can see have holiday packaging (the trucks and the Angry Birds and if you look super close at the Batman, you will see a little ornament on the box), but the rest you’d need to find in the clearance section or know what to hunt for.
~Barbie Beauty Set: $0.50 (reg. $5.00)
~Lip Smackers Set: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Barbie Mini: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Hello Kitty: $0.29 (reg. $2.99)
~Mini Mouse Set: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
Again if you can’t find these in the clearance section, check the regular aisles!
~Girls Pajama Sets: $1.49 & $1.59 (reg. $14.99 & $15.99)
I couldn’t find any boys pajamas, but that’s okay, I probably have enough from previous years. I found a few girls sets though and I just cannot pass up those deals!
~Smith & Hawken Bulb Kit: $1.29 (reg. $12.99)
~Deer Energizer Night Light: $0.99 (reg. $9.99)
~Boxed Pinecones: $0.60 (reg. $6.00)
A lot of people reported finding Smith & Hawken gardening stuff at 90% off, so make sure to check the regular aisles! And check your regular aisles for night lights too, because I know there are a ton of holiday ones out there.
~Bar Set: $1.99 (reg. $19.99)
~Jack Links Beef Jerky: $0.53 (reg. $1.79 (food is 70% off still)
~Hickory Farms Set: $2.99 (reg. $9.99)
Not all foods with holiday packaging are ringing up at 70% / 90% off, but if you see something it’s worth scanning. I’ve heard of beef jerky, cake & brownie mixes, fruit snacks, graham crackers, oreo’s, etc. being included.
~Wilton Pinch Bowl Set: $1.49 (reg. $14.99)
~Scentos Markers: $0.30 (reg. $3.00)
~Rose Art Figures: $0.39 (reg. $3.99)
Totally check the bakeware area and also the craft section!
~Christmas Blocks: $2.00 (reg. $20.00)
~Mason Jar Mug: $0.49 (reg. $4.99)
~Mickey Mouse Stuffed Animal (Unknown)
For the most part I avoid the Christmas ornaments, lights, etc. because I have already picked up all those years ago at 90% off. But I couldn’t resist these blocks!!!
The HAULS!
I have posted about making goodie bags for the kids in L’s school a few times and it’s something I love doing. And I am sure the other parents think I am NUTS, but the Target 90% off clearance is how I do it and it’s so inexpensive. Everything in these pictures was 90% off, making them no more than $0.49 EACH! No way would I be buying 25+ kids gifts for $4.99 each for every holiday. But for $0.49/each? Umm, amazing! And don’t worry if the packaging is holiday specific. If I wanted to give out the Batman things for Valentine’s Day, I’d just take them out of the package and no one would know.
So how do you know what to look for? Other than this stuff I mean. Well, I always do some “pre-scouting” by looking at the Holiday Section before it gets to clearance time, but looking at Slick Deals in their Target thread always helps as well. Start at the back of that thread and just kind of flip through for pictures, etc. It TOTALLY helps to see other peoples hauls so you know what toy look for!
Happy hunting!!!!!!
