Some interesting Information for you, from my friend Barbara



I thought I would pass down some helpful advice from my friend Barbara who just so happens not only to by one of the funniest women I know, but a very thrifty shopper. This is her bit of shopping wisdom after her experience as a retail worker:



Target Markdown Schedule (year-round and Holiday)
Year-round: (note: this may vary from store to store, but this is the general rule) Monday -- Infants department, Kids clothing and Electronics (maybe food also)
Tuesday -- Women's clothing, Domestics

Wednesday -- Men's clothing, Garden, Toys, Health and Beauty

Thursday -- Lingerie, Shoes, Housewares, Sporting Goods, Luggage

Friday -- Cosmetics, Hardware, Auto, Home Improvement and Jewelry


Holidays:
All holidays except Christmas follow the 3-3-2 rule: The first 3 days after the holiday are 50% off. The next 3 days are 75% off. The next 2 days are 90%. After that it goes to salvage.
Valentines
3-3-2 Easter 3-3-2 4th of July 3-3-2 (since it's always on July 4, the schedule stays the same)
July 5 = 50% off
July 8 = 75% off
July 10 = 90% off

Halloween (since it's always on Oct. 31, the schedule stays the same)
Nov 1st = 50% off
Nov 4th = 75% off
Nov 7th = 90% off

Thanksgiving 3-3-2
