Target

Target Ads are delivered in the Sunday Honolulu Advertiser.  It's sales run weekly from Sunday through Saturday.
Markdowns
The real deals at Target are unadvertised.  Target has a great mark down system.  They are constantly marking down items to make room for new merchandise.  So it's easy to come across a great markdown item, that is perfectly good, and not damaged at all.  You can find these great deals on the end-caps...these are the ends of the aisles that face the perimeter walls of the store.  

Each department has it's own clearance section.  The clearance markdowns start at 15%, then 30%, then 50%, then 75%.  Of course some hot items, don't make it all the way down to 75%, it just depends on how fast the item flies off the clearance rack.  

Keep in mind that if you see something that you want and it's marked down to 75%, get it because it won't be marked down any lower.  If the markdown price ends with a 4 you can be pretty sure that the item will not be marked down any lower.  

The markdown price is usually shown on a bright orange-red price tag which will list the original price and the markdown price.  Be sure to price check the item at one of their self scanners conveniently located around the store.  Sometimes the price will be even lower than what is listed.    


Gift Cards
Target Ads are also known for offering Gift Cards with a purchase of a particular item.  Try to match up coupons with these types of items for even greater savings.  Remember that these items may be a good way of trying your rollover skills.  Purchase 2 razors and get a $5 Gift Card, then in a separate transaction purchase another 2 razors with that $5 Gift Card which will in turn award you a second $5 Gift Card...and so on. 


After Holiday Sales
Target has great after Holiday markdowns. 
 
50% off the day after holiday for three days
75% off the 4th day after the holiday for three days
90% off the 7th day after the holiday for 1-2 days.

There's usually slim pickings after three days. 


Good Luck & Happy Hunting!
