Target Clearance Deals Are In Every Department

This is the time to start that holiday shopping and get the best deals of the year at Target.

If you are looking to save money for the holiday season, now is the time to start shopping. has clearance deals in every department. The store is clearing shelves and getting ready for fall merchandise to come in. In the next few weeks, keep an eye open on the items you may be thinking of buying because these may be the best prices you will see on them. 

In the baby department, strollers, highchairs and baby clothes are among some of the items that can be found at discounted prices. The selection will change as items are bought and new ones are added but when I was there, I saw a highchair at 50 percent off and a changing table at 30 percent off of the original prices. The clothing racks were full of discounted items in every size. 

The clothing sections are clearing out stock as well. The juniors and ladies department has many discounted summer items including swimsuits, tank tops and shorts. The maternity area and fitness section also have clearance racks. The highest discount I saw was on the men's rack where I spotted jeans for under $5 that were regularly $20.

The toy section at Target is getting better every week. The prices are dropping on many items and these toys are not just on the usual endcaps where we are use to finding them. These marked down prices are in the regular aisles too. Walk up and down the aisles and watch for lowered colored price tags on the shelves. As the summer progresses, these aisles will get to be a mess as people put things back in the wrong place as they shop so be sure to use the price checker machines before you check out. 

If you are looking for summer items for the patio, the deals are here as well. Furniture and outdoor items can be found for 30 percent off of their original prices. I watched people scour through the clearance pillows and stake claims on the patio furniture sets that were marked down. These deals will sell rather quickly since the prices are dropping fast on them and we are still facing temperatures in the 90's and not thinking of summer ending yet.

Before you go, check the Target website coupon section at the bottom of the home page. They have been issuing coupons and pulling them randomly on a regular basis. Using these coupons could discount clothing items another few dollars a piece which, when customers print several coupons, could save shoppers a bundle. 

Walk through every department you may have to buy from this year when you are at the store this week. In past years, I have found that their July to August deals are the best that I see all year long. These are even better than after Christmas sales because it doesn't seem picked over yet.
