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.

July 8 = 75% off
July 10 = 90% off

Halloween (since it's always on Oct. 31, the schedule stays the same)

time to request those personal days

[HollyHobby]

I never saw this post! Thanks Mon! I was just wondering when Halloween would go 90%!

[LyndaSLP]

MOnica -- Christmas does NOT follow the 3-3-2 rule? WHY? What is the Christmas clearance schedule?

[monica]

hey Lynda - I just posted it as I found it several places said the same thing - Maybe there's just so much more stuff that they drag it out a little longer??

[peiling]

thanks a bunch!

[Trish]

If memory serves me correctly Xmas is 3-2-2 with New Year's eve (31st) day being 90%. Can anyone else confirm?

[monica]

no, no, no.... Last year 90% wasn't until Jan 6! 75% happened on Dec. 30. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the same way it happened the year before that. Christmas is just one of those times that doesn't seem to have a set schedule. And even with those dates listed, not everyone's stores followed the same schedule last year.

So does anyone know what the mark down schedule is for Target after Christmas. I can't seem to find what it is. Thanks.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's. The only known fact about Target Christmas clearance is Dec 26th = 50% off.

Sorry.

[Omadison]

I was in a Target today, and people had carts full of stuff. Made me wonder if there will be anything left to mark down more than 50%. The only thing I bought was wrapping tissue.

[LadyBug]

Awesome thread!!!! I have been looking for this for some time now. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!

[lisayeahokay]

I have a question?? Does anyone know when the July toys clearance is?? I got so much christmas in july shopping done last year but, can't remember if its the 2nd or 3rd week in July any help would be great

[hennypenny]

Be careful about shopping for Christmas too early from Target. They will only accept returns before 90 days. I learned the hard way!

[flip4scrap]

What about those school supplies? They are still 30% here (going on 2weeks now)

No true schedule as to when school supplies will clearance. My Target hasn't even put them at 30% off. They are still full price at my Target.

[flip4scrap]

Ok, Lynda...I'll stop my whining about a measly 30%. I'm thinking they must not have received enough seasonal items to fill that area. Thus, the reason for not marking the down further/quicker.

We'll just spend out money on something else, huh?

[BGibson]

I see the clearance schedule but I was wondering how long it stays on 30 then to 50 then to 75 and finally 90% for the weekly stuff? They have some cute toys at mine but they are still at 30% and if it is going down anymore I want to wait

[Kmchamplin]

Usually it will stay for 2 weeks at the markdown price. It also depends on if there is a bunch of that item left too. If they have a bunch and want it gone, the manager has the right to mark it down sooner to get ready for the new stuff.

Thanks Mon!

I work for Target. There is no schedule. It all goes by sales. If it's selling well it gets marked down slower.

I work for Target as well and know there is a schedule, but each store is able to mark down items as they see fit. So, like you said, if an item is selling fast/slow, that will change it's clearance factor. But they do clearance for certain departments on certain nights. It's the overnight team's job.

[mjloves2shop]

as the Christmas markdown schedule is going to be asked about!

[TonysMom]

Wish they have a clear schedule for Christmas markdowns. Guess I just have to make lots of trips to Target, but I am doing it anyway to use the Huggie coupons.
