I’ve read on several coupon boards that Target, Kmart and Walmart have all begun to clearance their toys. Retailers typically do this at the end of every summer in order to make room for Christmas merchandise. It seems to vary from store to store and city to city. I was at Target about two weeks ago and many items were marked down about 30-50% off. You may want to check it out and start getting ready for Christmas or buy for upcoming birthdays, even baby showers. It’s also a great time to pick up a few items if you usually donate to any toy drives around the holidays or do adopt-a-family.
If you see something and it’s not a great price yet, usually things get marked down weekly until they disappear. Don’t be afraid to ask a sales clerk when their next round of markdowns is.
And remember the rule of clearance shopping–Know the difference between a great price and a great deal. No matter how cheap an item is, if you never use it, it’s not a great deal.
