I LOVE Target. They not only give free cookies for children, have a great dollar spot, groceries, and everything else you expect from Target. I check their clearance sections regularily. I have found canned apple pie filling for $0.38 a can, luggage normally over $100 for $30, and other deals too numerous to mention. The after holiday cleance is great as well. Most Target's mark down the same- so a few days at 50%, then a few more at 75% and then 90%. Toys go on clearance in July and then again after Christmas. Most of my children's clothes come from Target. I never pay more than $3.00 for shirt or pants there.
Another tip is in the cafe you can get a popcorn and drink for $1.00. You can substitute the drink for an icee for 25 cents more. $1.37 with tax. It is cheaper than getting the icee just by itself.
