How Target Does Mark Downs

Traditional Holiday clearance schedule
50% off day 1-3 after holiday.
75% off some on day 3, most on day 4-6, post holiday.
90% off on day 6 or 7 after holiday for 2 days.

Other than Christmas this is the schedule used for holiday clearance, including Valentine's Day, Global Bazaar, Easter, Summerville/Random Acts of Summer (aka 4th of July), and Halloween.

The schedule varies from store to store, just because one store goes 75% off on day 3 does not mean yours will.

------- Mark Down Schedule -------
-Mon. -- Electronics, Kids Clothing, and Stationary (Cards, GiftWrap, etc.)
-Tues. -- Domestics, Women's Clothing, Pets and Market (food items)
-Wed. -- Men's Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty, Lawn & Garden items
-Thur. -- House Wares, Lingerie, Shoes, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books, Decor and Luggage
-Fri. -- Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, & Jewelry

DPCIs and UPCs are both useful to some people so please post if you have them. (DPCI can be entered on price scanners with a working keypad, and UPCs can be scanned after printing using the Lite UPC version of the page above).

Since each store has different stock and items are at different clearance percentages at various stores/regions, please post the location of the target store where you found the deal. City, ST works easiest, but if you are uncomfortable with that, even the state is helpful. If there are several Targets in your metro area you may choose to be more specific.
