Things retailers don't want you to know!

It’s officially starting to get colder which means it’s time for new winter clothes, cute new boots, gloves are scarves to keep us warm, a new color palette of makeup, cold medication, hot cocoa and much more…. Target is a place where you can get them all!! I love Target, I mean who doesn’t?  There are many secrets retailers don’t tell you, and Target is a large retailer with plenty of secrets to be told.

Target has an “unofficial” mark down schedule for all departments throughout the store, if you’re looking for something in particular check out this list before heading to Target:

• Monday: Baby items, children’s clothing, electronics, and office supplies/gift wrap/stationery
• Tuesday: Home décor, women’s clothing, and domestic items
• Wednesday: Food, health and beauty items, men’s clothing, toys, and garden items
• Thursday: Lingerie, housewares, sporting goods, shoes, and luggage
• Friday: Cosmetics, jewelry, hardware, automotive, and home improvement

So Tuesday sounds pretty good to me, I love clothes, and I’m still looking for new decorative pieces for around my new condo! Target also has a specific clearance schedule, anything ending in a 6 or 8 will be marked down again as long as there is inventory in the store.  Prices ending in a 4 are the final mark down and won’t be marked down again.  Look at the below link for a ton of other Target secrets, just more reasons to love Target!! Be Green and bring your own bags, get $0.05 off for each bag you bring, although $0.05 doesn’t sound like a lot it can really add up if you do a lot of shopping at Target.  Especially if you go your grocery shopping there and have multiple bags!

Another amazing site out there is called Retailmenot.com , if you have not visited it I highly recommend it, and they also have a smart app! It allows you to search for any of your favorite retailers for coupons! Currently some of the hot deals include, 25% off at JCPenney, 15% off at Macy’s and a double BOGO offer at Yankee Candle, Buy 2, Get 2!! I just love Retailmenot so much, I could spend hours on end researching deals and imagining all the money I can save (on things I actually need!! Otherwise I wouldn’t be saving money now would I? haha).
