I am so cheap I don’t even like to pay full price for anything at Target anymore. I consider this especially bad since Target is technically considered a “Discount Store”.
Here are my tips for maximizing the clearance areas at your local Target…
• Map out your trip. Clearance is always located on the inside end caps of the aisles. You can walk the entire store using the inside aisles therefore hitting every piece of clearance. Use this same path every time you go.
• Avoid the full price clothing and head straight back to the 50% and 75% off racks. Saturday I bought a dress for $6!
• Look down the aisles for the red clearance tags. Sometimes they hide it where you wouldn’t expect it. This is especially true in the frame and home décor areas.
• Make sure to visit often. Especially after holidays. They mark that crap down quick and people buy it by the cart loads. The good stuff is gone in a day. Last year I was there the same day they marked the Christmas stuff down and you should have seen these psychos loading tinsel and wrapping paper into their red buggies. It looked like Supermarket Sweep.
I would say over half of our house is decorated with Target clearance merchandise. I am probably their best/worst customer. They make no profit off of me, but I am there at least once a week….sometimes more.

P.S. Have you ever noticed that every new mom marks her first trip to Target after baby as a major milestone? That's because Target is awesome.
