Clearance makes me giddy...

Thursday, 11 September 2008 21:12 by sara

I'm a frequent Target shopper.  Too frequent. Creepy frequent.

I stalk the clearance sections. I refuse to buy something at a 30% markdown. If it's meant to be, I know it will still be there for me when it goes to 50 percent.  And chances are, it will be there for me, because I check every other day. Pathetic? Maybe. But there are serious bargains to be had.

Tonight these recipe cards were finally at 75 percent. They were less than $2 a box! A pack of 48 uber-classy recipe cards! It's craziness.  I bought every box they had.  You'll notice they're still going for $7.99 on the website.  

I have big plans for these guys come Christmas. Go. Now. Buy some!

(It just dawned on me this post is going to ruin my Christmas gift plan.  If potential recipients read this post, they're going to find out I'm cheap.)

Incidentally, school supplies, lunch boxes and backpacks were finally marked down to 50% this week. Of course, the cute thermos I'd been stalking was already gone. But see, I'm okay with that. Clearly wasn't meant to be mine. 

Bargain stalking, it's all very zen.

Target is another good reason to move back stateside. I hate paying full price for anything; even food if I can get away with it. My Grandma thinks Target is sooo expensive so she won't shop there. I keep telling her she just has to keep her eye on someone's wedding registry long enough and stuff will start dropping in price quickly. My waffle maker was a whopping $4 from Target. Someone couldn't find it because it dropped off the registry so they got us a double waffle maker, on our way home we stopped off at Target and found one 4-waffle maker. =) I love good deals.

my friend and i stalked the targets w/in a 30 mile radius when they 75% off clearanced some of their toys. . .

whenever i go to target i walk up and down all of the isles w/ end caps to scan the clearance - and i too don't go for 30% off. it's gotta get better then that!

Already snagged some of those recipe cards. I don't actually have anything to put on them, as I have a total of about 4 recipes in my recipe box... but I'm optimistic that one day my cooking will suddenly improve beyond all recognition.

I just found your blog. I too love Target clearance. We live about 30 miles away from one though, so I don't go as often as I'd like. Today I found some cute ribbons 50% of in the dollar area. I wish I had an excuse to go back when they hit 75%...

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
