Holiday clearance sales

[swthrtpallanes]

Does any one know when Target starts doing their holiday clearance. I always happen to show up after all the good stuff is gone My wrapping paper and gift box supply is running dangerously low. This includes Walmart too. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

I cleaned up one year at Toys R'Us on wrapping paper for like $.10 or $.25 a roll. I am still using it and that was 3 years ago and hundreds of presents.

Our store already has some of the yard decor 30% off. I would go in frequently now if I were you.

My Target has never put the wrapping supplies or other indoor stuff on clearance until the day after. There is always a line at the door before they open on the 26th and the Ziploc bags and stuff like that are gone within minutes because people grab that stuff first. The Toys R Us here often marks their seasonal stuff down prior to the holiday.

Don't know about Target or Walmart really, but I work at a Michaels craft store and we carry gift wrap, boxes, and lots of decor too. Everything Christmas just went to 70% off and the sale signs with it state that the 70 off is until 12/24. I'm assuming after Christmas it will drop down more.

If it follows the normal seasonal clearance schedule the markdowns at Target should be this:
December 26, 50% off (30% off food)
December 29, 70% off (50% off food)
January 1, 90% off (70% off food)

Sometimes in past years it took longer than normal for it to get to 90% off. I remember 3 or 4 years ago it took almost a week longer to get to 90% off.

For Toys R Us, I'm not sure if they are going to go to 90% off anymore. Halloween items were 75% off on November 1st and the price scanner said the prices were valid through November 30th. On December 1st, I scanned some items and instead of 90% off or even 75% off, the items were back to scanning at full price.

Walmart seems to vary by store. Halloween merchandise at my local Walmart is still 75% off and I don't think it will ever go to 90% off (not much is left anyway) and I expect the same to happen with Christmas merchandise.

Wow, thanks for this info. I will be headed to Micheals sometime in the next couple of days.

Oh, yay! I wrap my kids presents by color and I have to get some green wrapping paper, non-toddler, non-girly, that's not $10+/roll and no one has any. I'll head there tomorrow AM to see if they have some.

Just a follow up about Michaels, not every single Christmas thing is 70 off, but I did see the gift wrap rolls at 50% off, regularly 5.99 I think, so maybe 3 bucks a roll. I picked up some nice boxes to put cookies in that I'm baking for family members and they were less than 2 dollars each which fits my budget!
