There are reports of people finding toys on clearance at their Target for 75% off! Christy at Thrifty and Thriving hit the jackpot at her local store. (See all her finds here.) And my reader Michelle emailed me to let me know she found them too!
Target clearances their toys twice a year. Just after Christmas and in July (to make way to for the Christmas toys). I usually have really great luck at these sales!
Let me know what you find!

Hollywood Studios, known previous as MGM studios, is a fun park that gets a bad rap for not being much fun for young kids. However, my kids have a blast at Hollywood Studios! There is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, Toy Story Mania, The Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground [...]

I was finding deals like this 3 wks ago at Target. They are where the deal is that’s for sure. I’m heading there later or tomorrow to see what else they have.
It is happening now in Michigan!! I’m so giddy my hands are shaking! I had a heaping cart (I buy for my ENTIRE family, nieces, nephews included) and people were looking at me so weird. :)
OOoohh, I hope Pensacola is included…my little one turns 11 Saturday!!
I got some Toy Story 3 items last week to take on our trip to Disney in Sept. So excited!
Scored some great deals 75% off at the target Florida this afternoon…though it seems like a lot of people are catching on, it was crowded!
went this morning with high hopes.our target is under construction so i had gotten a $10 off a $75 purchase. i usually don’t spend this much at target but went to see what i could find. unbelievable! i scored soooooo much stuff. i got 8 bday presents, a thomas piece for train table, tag jr book (2.47 with $3.00 off q)…needless to say, i was at $75 exactly..used my $10 off Q and then with my other qs i spent $33 OOP and i can’t tell you how much i scored. SOOOOOO worth the trip! everyone should try and see what they can fnd!
I went this morning and score $100 worth of toys for $33 ( Toy Story 3, Thomas and Friends, Hot Wheels, CARS, etc). ( I’m in Orlando, FL)
I scored at two Targets today and had to try hard not to go to a third. Got alot of great deals. I love Target’s toy clearance. I get such a high when I save all that money. And I have stuff for my son and for parties he is invited to and for my nieces and nephews for Christmas and future birthdays. Love it.
Pensacola is included… the Blue Angel one anyways… I was there earlier today and got a few Toy Story toys for my son.
I don’t reccomend buying the flying Buzz toy though… I’ll be returning that! It made out of styrofoam and doesn’t fly but for a couple of seconds… the tail end of him almost broke off just taking him out of the box!
I got $350 worth of toys for $87!! I got my niece the Cool School Computer (retails for $55 for $14) for Xmas, pretty much the rest was under $4 each so I am stocked for all of the future bday party invitations for both of my kids (I hope!) 35 items total!!
Our Toys are mostly still at 30% I went this morning and no employees were even seen in the aisles marking anything down. Maybe next week?
My nearest Target is an hour away, but even if I were to pack up the kiddos and go today (ours are clearancing right now, too…just heard today) usually the first people to know about it are SOOOO greedy and clear the shelves. I mean, I understand getting a good deal on things you will want/need, but I’m not a fan of greed and just taking everything because it’s cheap.
I agree! I was reading on another message board about people getting 4 buggies worth of toys. Probably to sell on Ebay. :(
This happened to me last year. I was looking through a cart full of toys with no visible owner and this lady came up from behind me and went nuts. She “said” that they were for a charity that she gives to, but I have a hard time believing that someone who donates toys to charities by the truckload would yell at someone who was mistakenly looking through one of their carts. Today I only had two other people overlooking the toys at the same time as I was and they were very nice and not hoarding everything. I had one cart overflowing, but that was mostly due to two big things I bought.
Wow not cool at all!
I got there five minutes before the doors opened and headed to the toys. I bought about $190 worth of toys–all 75% off. It will take care of all of our toy needs for Christmas except for Santa presents and I plan on using my Amazon gift cards from Swagbucks for those… I found so many toys that will be perfect for my kids, my nieces, nephew and friends’ kids…bakugans, hotwheels–individuals and sets, Knex sets, a motorized Nascar track, a Leap Frog Tag system and books, a wooden kitchen for the Target brand of American Girl (I was giddy when I found this), some play food, teasets, several sets of Jungle in my pocket, several mini Barbie sets, a few stuffed animals, a Disney princess phone, Disney princess babies, something Tinkerbell for my niece, mega block sets, three good sized RC cars…that’s all I can remember at the moment. It’s all still in my car so the kids won’t see it! :)
Got a TON today and yesterday at my stores (for my own kids birthdays/Christmas as well as birthday parties for friends and relatives, resale, and donation).
Here is my post with pictures:

Thanks so much for linking to my deals Kristin! I hope everyone was able to find some amazing deals at Target today.
I will be there early next year. I went after work, about 5:30 and there were two ladies there that had cleared the shelves. That didn’t really upset me as much as the fact that they would block the aisles with their carts and I couldn’t even get the shelf until they were done. By then, there was nothing much left.
I went to my Target in Tennessee today & got quite a few nice things for my girls’ birthdays and for birthday parties for friends. Nothing cost more than about $5 or so. Later on in my trip, I happened to go by the toys, and the employees were loading all the clearance up. So, I’d suggest heading out soon, if you plan to score some good deals. I hope you gals have lots of luck with your toy shopping!
