I am crazy jealous over that nativity set. I saw it online just before Christmas and tried so hard to find one for my daughters first Christmas. Hoping I will find one for her next Christmas. Great score!

Great deals! Well done Melanie! Love this post; from the earthquake from the stampeding mothers, the pole dancers and the Pepsi out the nose with the vegetarian veterinarian! LoL!

My daughters begged for the Little People Nativity set for Christmas, but to have it shipped from US to Canada was going to be about $75. I am so jealous that you picked it up for less tham $10. I can't wait until 2013 when Target comes to Canada.

To Carol W.: Just love what you wrote, "all is fair in love and clearance." That should definitely be a mantra or motto of sorts. Had to comment on that because I live by that as well when it comes to clearance. :) Made me smile this morning.

I am so jealous too, but glad u got some great stuff. Ours was total crap and what was left wasnt really even at 70%even though it had the signs. I did see thhe lego Flos cafe but not in clearance, i might have to go back to price check it! Hawaii really stinks when it comes to clearance sales, i miss my San Diego! That nativity scene has been on my list for years but whenever i find it it is full price still over $20 on clearance. Ugh. Glad people are finding some good buys!

2012-01-13T19:13:09.270-08:00

Wow Mel, you did great! Little People Nativity? Be still my heart! Seriously though, you got a lot of premium toys. My store just didn't have anything that exciting. Lots of the time 4 toys stuff but very little in the way of premium toys.

I just have to say this too, and believe me I am not trying to start a flame-war here so edit if you feel the need. But across the savings blogs I read, I've seen posts yesterday and today that range from aw shucks maybe next time to some pretty upset people who don't get to the store until mid morning and can't believe someone just checked out with multiple carts of toys. Hey, thanks to the blogosphere everytime a target toy clearance rolls around a whole lot more people are in the know about target's M.O. When it comes to toy markdowns. So yea to all you bloggers because you really are influencing how America shops. Everyone else, treat it like black Friday and be there when the doors open if you want to play because all is fair in love and clearance.

2012-01-13T10:27:58.628-08:00

It looks like you've got next year's shopping covered! (for the kids anyway) I didn't know this was going on. I'm going to head to Target today and see what I can find.

Hi Mel,

Love the pole dancer dig. Having been a teacher for 32 years, I am sickened by the image some toys put out there. You wouldn't believe the way some middle school kids dress.
My kids are all grown up (hoping to some day be a grandma and shop the toy sales again). I'll have to look at the sale and see what I can get, though. We have a Santa house in my town, so I know that all the toys I donate are given out locally.

Super jealous of your 70% lego find. I didn't make it to the store until 9:30, so if there HAD been one I am sure someone snatched it right up! I am quite pleased with what I did find though!

My little guy is obsessed with Dinosaur Train. Probably too late but worth checking my store in the am, you just never know!

2012-01-12T19:36:14.140-08:00

:( My children no longer want toys, per se. If it's a must-have video game, sure. Otherwise, clothes, sneakers, gift cards for the mall, iTunes cards, etc. So obviously, partaking in this clearance only makes me want even more for my kids to go back to actually being kids. (I'm the mommy who would rather rock their children for hours on end than see them so independent.) Sigh. Love the Pepsi out your nose line. That's definitely classic :) I don't know if it's the way you wrote it Mel, but I knew she meant vetenarian prior to you typing it. LOL Thanks for the smiles. I'm going to grab some toys just for the hey of it...Toys for Tots seems like a good enough reason to shop these great toy deals. Nancy R. (PA)

That nativity is adorable! Yea, you!

Score!
You have been pretty lucky with the Moxie Dolls! I would love to find these...along with the Dinosaur Train Set...too cute!
I'll have to see when I get down there, rather sooner than later! ;0)

2012-01-12T13:32:44.227-08:00

I got there at 9:00am, to see this lady check out 14 carts full of toys....(one of the employees said she was donating them all to kids in need), but yes, shelfs were empty by the ime I got to the toy section.

Oh well, better luck next time, huh ? :)

Thanks for sharing! I am quite broke at the moment, but would be willing to pick up a few items to put away for toys for tots.

Thanks so much for posting this today. I knew about the sale, and was going to go today, but didn't really feel like going out in the rain. Maybe I'll stop on the way home from work today! I'm glad you were able to get so many deals.

2012-01-12T12:06:15.314-08:00

Great deals, Melanie!
I sure hope there's something left at my Target tomorrow morning. I couldn't make it today since the driving conditions weren't that great here in Central Mass and I had a million things to do here at home.

2012-01-12T11:34:23.119-08:00

My daughter would love those Moxie dolls you picked up. Maybe I will head down to the store and see if they still have any.

2012-01-12T10:34:13.627-08:00

Very nice! I'm a little jealous - I'm at work and can't hit the sale until late tonight.
