Attention Target Shoppers…

Do you con­sider your­self a Tar­get afi­cionado? Do you reg­u­larly peruse the flu­o­res­cent lit aisles of the big box retailer that made big box retail cool? My wife def­i­nitely falls into this cat­e­gory — per­haps even bor­der­ing on Tar­get ninja or even guru. She seems to intu­itively know how to get the best deals on the things we need — never pay­ing full price for kids clothes, toys, lawn tools, soda, you name it. It is quite amaz­ing. Thanks to her obser­va­tion of the huge dif­fer­ences in price , we have aban­doned buy­ing non-perishable items from the gro­cery, opt­ing instead to save big bucks by buy­ing the stuff in cans, con­tain­ers, bags, and boxes all at Tar­get. She will scope out things for our kids weeks in advance of pur­chas­ing them — never pay­ing full price and sav­ing us a lot of money. Well, versed as she is in Tar­get knowl­edge, there is always more to learn. So for her and other Tar­get shop­pers out there, I urge you to check out this out­stand­ing post from a site called Wise­Bread about the way that Tar­get prices and dis­counts mer­chan­dise. This may prove enor­mously valu­able if you are look­ing for ways to spend a lit­tle less on the things you need. Here is an excerpt from the post out­lin­ing the weekly dis­count sched­ule for merchandise:

Mon­day - Elec­tron­ics, Kids Cloth­ing and Sta­tion­ary (Cards, GiftWrap, etc.)
Tues­day — Domes­tics, Women’s Cloth­ing, Pets and Mar­ket (food items)
Wednes­day — Men’s Cloth­ing, Toys, Lawn & Gar­den, Health and Beauty items
Thurs­day — House Wares, Lin­gerie, Sport­ing Goods, Shoes, Music / Movies, Books, Decor and Lug­gage
Fri­day - Auto, Cos­met­ics, Hard­ware, and Jewelry

From the looks of this we may need to change gro­cery day. This is just a mere por­tion of the infor­ma­tion out­lined in the post. Take a look for your self. Thanks to Wise­Bread for sav­ing me some dough, and thanks to Life­hacker for point­ing me to the site. Now if I could just get a sched­ule of the time when they are not block­ing the aisles by restock­ing the shelves in the mid­dle of the day. I will save that rant for another day.
