Perhaps you were looking at that sign and the title of this blog and you were like, “Kristen B, it is the first week of Target Summer Toy Clearance. There cannot be things already marked 70%. You and that sign lie.”

No, we do not! We truth! I have proof. I bought something for 70% off. I am walking, talking 70% off success story.

It doesn’t seem to matter how much we prep for this clearance sales. Target always wants to keep us on our toes. Most things at my store were in the 30% off range, but there was a smattering of 15%, 50%, and 70% off items as well. Tracking the sale progression might be a little trickier in the coming weeks because of this, but I can’t be mad that 70% off is on the table right out the gate!

As always, if you see something you gotta have and there’s not a lot in stock, grab it. We don’t know what the markdown schedule will look like and the most popular brands (Lego) often don’t see a markdown past 30%, maaaaaybe 50%.

Week 1, here we go! Keep your eyes peeled, make sure you’re scanning everything, and believe in yourself. You are the best clearance chaser I know and you. have. got. this.
