Here we go! 70% off January Toy clearance. And they’re getting serious about getting this stuff gone to prepare for Valentine’s Day and Easter shopping. Check your endcaps, check the aisles at the end of the Toy department. And while you’re checking things, check your prices. Anything you’re interested in, make sure you scan. 70% off items were tagged with a 30% price, put behind 50% off signs, and sometimes didn’t even have a tag or a label. They were just sitting by themselves on a shelf, hoping someone would come buy them and save 70%.

You want to know how I know Target is taking this clearance seriously? They put up signs to light your away from across the store!

This January Toy Clearance has treated me very well, very well indeed. Even though I think it will be winding down, I might sneak back next week to see if any of those Legos make it to 50% off. There’s a big set from Lego Movie 2 that’s been parked at 30% off and I have big dreams of 50% off. Either way, at the end of the month I’ll do roundup of everything I’d bought during this month’s toy clearance, as well as how this helps me save for Disney!

What percentage is your store at? Any great finds? I’d love to see in the comments!

So I’m hitting up my second Target, like I do, for that 90% off Christmas clearance that went so well at the first Target. And I say to my husband, “I’m just going to run over to toys right quick, see if they’re officially in clearance mode.”

Reader, they were officially in clearance mode. They were already transferring toys to the designated clearance aisles. Endcaps were getting filled. The big yellow signs weren’t out yet, but there were more than a few little yellow guys peeking out, alerting the shopper to the sale within the shelf.

And get this: while the majority was 30% off, there were more than a few items for 50% off. 50% off you guys! The first week of January. Here’s what I found.

These Leap Frog game packs were 50% at $7.48. I have no idea what they do, but they looked super cool.

$11.88, 30% off, for Little Tykes Wheelz.

Keep the 30% off for car love coming! $7.68 for this three set of Tonka trucks.

$5.58 for Kingdom Builders. I don’t know these toys, but the name “Sir Wrench-A-Lot” made me laugh out loud.

These were all the rage last Christmas and now they’re 30% off. $20.98.

This baby doll apparently does it all! And at 30% off! $31.48.

Okay, I love these. IF my store hadn’t had 10000 of them, I would have gotten them. Incredibles fashion dolls, 37% off, $9.50.

You could also get the whole family for 30% off, only $35.01, which ends up being $7 a doll. Arguably the better deal.

A batter powered Hogwarts Express for 50% off! Magically only $49.98.

Reindeers are better on sale. Sven is only $48.98 and I had to literally pull my children off him. I’m in trouble if he makes it to 70% off.

Sports! 30% off, $24.48.

For the pretend play elite, there is this KidKraft Artisan Chic kitchen at 30% off. A stylish $90.98.

Incredibles Dress Up set, 40% off at only $9. These Incredibles items are strangely priced, which means they may not go down further. Usually, if at item ends in .98, it could be further discounted. $.01 or $.99 or $.0 usually do not. Usually. I say that now, watch next week they’re 82% off or some other strange number.

30% off Hatchimals. This fits perfectly on theme with an Easter basket. Just saying.

I remember the days before my daughter was obsessed with Legos, when I was like, “who spends all this money on little plastic bricks?”  Fast forward to today. Who does? Me. I do.

I used to think, “Who gets so excited about 30% off discounts?” How the mighty have fallen. Now my husband is texting me, “Quick, there are two sets of Toy Story 4 Legos at 30% but another family is eyeing them!” We are now the people who hide Legos.

Mini horse for $4.18. Great for all horse loving friends, not just “Spirit” fans.

Lots of Play-Doh options. This one is $3.50. Great for baskets, stockings, or the rainy day activity box!

Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, Muppet Babies, and Puppy Dog Pals all had items at 30% off. This Vampirina car is $17.48.

This is a fun Littles Pet Shop! It comes in a lamp. Perfect for your Aladdin fan at $2.08.

30% off for the Mane Six. At $20.98, that’s $3.49 a pony.

Fashion Dolls galore marked down. Barbies, DC Superhero Girls, and She-ra!

Only $13.98 for Toy Story in a Box! I wonder how they fit Tom Hanks in there…

During the 30% off Preview, Buzz was marked down 30% Now this true to size Woody joins him! $62.98.

Sometimes when I am taking pictures of boy’s toys I am like, “What is this? It’s not pink and sparkly, so I have no context.” I think this is a surprise pet of some kind? $13.98.

And you can get smaller versions for $5.98.

The Clown Prince of Gotham is 30% off, only $13.98.

50% off Buzz Lightyear Star Command! Only $59.98.

This giant car truck thing (girl mom!) is 30% off, $41.98.

Two in One Mack Mega Hauler (thank you for putting the name clearly on there, Disney) is 30% for $69.98.

You child can bake real tarts for you in this Nom Nom oven for 30% off at $38.48.
