By the by, our Targets have stopped stocking sinles totally (at least for now). I even saw some stores without locations for singles, or with only one or two pegs for them. Old arsed two packs of zen pitty seem to be in grand supply, and they won't even clearance those to move them. I only check now to try and find a new 7 pack when they hit… Cars hunting is not like it used to be. Thank goodness for resellers. I save more in gas than ever!

Here is what I know to be fact. I have two toys now that were marked down multiple times. The first is the racing 9 pack from last year. First markdown was 14.98 which was 50 percent off of the 29.99 sticker price. The second markdown was to 7.48 which was 75 percent off. Now, I haven't seen Target do 75 percent in a year or two. They now utilize a 70 percent off number instead. The other toy I have is the lights and sounds 4 pack. This started at 34.99 and was reduced to 24.48 (30 percent). The next sticker is 17.48 (50 percent), and the final price is 10.48 (70 percent). Interestingly enough, I just noticed that in the top right corner of the stickers in very small font is the percent of reduction. So, 14.98 will be the 70 percent off price if they make it there. I am happy to put any single up as a friendly bet against your reliable source… :). The only caviat would be if your Target is one of those that marks everything up 10 percent or so above the metro Target retail price. Some of the outliers like to use a higher initail shelf price, probably because it costs more for Target to operate in those areas. You may have seen the Targets that have singles at 3.84 instead of 3.49. In that case, it is possile that the clearance prices would be based on those higher prices, and could result in a clearance price with a 5. If your initial shelf price is 49.99, I am convinced that the next clearance reduced price will be 14.98.

Oh, and nothing new at my Targets since that is what this thread is about… Lol
