OT: Target Summer Clearance

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I was at my Target yesterday and noticed that the summer stuff is 30% off, does anyone know when it will go to 50% off? TIA.

I'm surprised it is on sale this early. It is usually on July 5th I have seen it clearanced. Juast in time for back to school stuff to come out.

Last year I have it marked that the summer clearance went to 75% off on July 8 (a Friday)

I forgot to mark when it went to 50% off.

Ya, I was suprised too when I saw it marked down yesterday. I am looking at a few things that I would definitely get at 50% off!!!

I love the clearance sales- but why so early... we're not even officially in Summer yet!

Does the summer clearance include items like deck boxes? I've been looking for a good sale since we don't really NEED one, but it would be nice to have.

Thanks for posting the sale, I may have to go take a look!

No kidding! Gotta love how the retail seasons work!

Is this the Random Acts of Summer section? I'd say it will go 50% off on July 5. IIRC, that's when the summer seasonal are is reduced again.

I'm sure the reason it's reduced now is to make room for the Back to School section. Our first day back is August 2.

August 2 is sooo early. Where are you? We go back August 23.

Our first day is August 9th in Rock Hill, SC. Next year will probably be a bit later depending on some legislation they're considering.

I ran by Target tonight (had to buy gift cards for teacher gifts), and truthfully, I wasn't overly impressed. I have noticed that Target seems to be carrying less and less in seasonal merchandise.

Last year I had a couple of items I really wanted.....this year, not much.

On the other hand, I am waiting for the patio items to go on clearance.....I have my eye on some large potted plants, another Tiki god resin statue, and a second ottoman for our patio!

I am waiting for patio stuff to go down also. Is July 4-5th the standard time they start to clearance these?

Just a word of warning. I just went to our Target and the toddler boys clothes were marked down 30% but not the toddler girls stuff by the same brand. I inquired about it and the rather rude woman informed me that the only reason the boys stuff was on clearance was because it wasn't selling fast enough and to check back next week the girls stuff will probably be on sale then. (I don't buy this for a minute.) After she left two more target employees with the pricing guns came into the toddler area and were chatting amongst themselves. I heard one of them say, "I got the boys done, but haven't done the girls or the infants. Oh well, I'll get it done by next week." I was furious so I left. So my advice is to call your target before driving out there in case your target doesn't have them marked down yet.
