Over the last month or so I have made a few visits to my local Targets and as others have said, the prices are definitely not what you would expect for a liquidation sale. Actually, I found much better deals on Target's clearance items before they went belly-up here in Canada. I know Target didn't bring a lot of what us Canadians wanted, but, I for one will definitely miss them. It was a peaceful place to shop and I REALLY love target for good quality, high fashion, inexpensive shoes and boots. I also love some of their store brands that I cannot find elsewhere, like Mossimo and Merona.
As you can see from the parking lot, the store is much busier now than it was before they announced their liquidation.
I only got clearance prices on a couple of items, all of the others were marked back up to their regular prices and then they were 30% off. And, I know for a fact, that before the liquidation the Jeans were already on sale for the same prices that I paid. But, these were items that I just had to have!
I got these white Mossimo Jeans for the summer. I love that the front of the jeans have a floral pattern in the denim! They were reg. $29.99 and I paid $20.99. (I have Target's Red Card, so I got an additional 5% on all items, which helps a little.)
On the same trip I grabbed this distressed/ worn looking V-neck T-shirt by Mossimo. It is super soft and I love the over-sized, loose, casual style. It was reg. $14.99 and I paid $10.50. The key necklace came with 3 pair of stud earrings and the set was only $6!
My most recent find was this super distressed pair of jeans by Mossimo that were screaming summer! They were also reg.$29.99 and on sale for $20.99
There were only 2 items that I somehow managed to get at clearance prices. The coloured case is by Sonia Kashuk and was reg. $24.99 on sale for $7, and the dark wash Mossimo jeans were reg. $29.99 on sale for $8.99. I bought the cosmetics case with the thought in mind that it would be perfect for when I downsize my makeup collection (see all the pockets inside?) and it could all fit in here- yeah, right!!
I was eager to check out the cosmetics section since target has The Sonia Kashuk and Pixi brands and a huge cosmetics section in general. Oddly enough, I didn't purchase any cosmetics, yet! All the cosmetics were 30% off, including Pixi and Sonia Kashuk. There were piles and piles of Pixi and especially Sonia Kashuk all over the place. The regular cosmetics were reduced to "rubble" and most of what was left was broken. It was kind of shocking in person. Here are a few pics of the makeup. (from left to right: Sonia Kashuk, Pixi, all other cosmetics)
I'm sure I will make another trip to Target to see if I can score some great deals before they leave us. There are a few items I have had my eye on for quite some time, but I'm waiting to see if I can get a really great deal on them! They are all currently at 30% off. (Hey, if any of you go to get these black booties, please, leave a pair for me, size 9, thanks!)
Some departments have been pretty much wiped out ie. food, jewelry and cosmetics, but, other departments like clothing have had a sudden influx of new goods, including summer wear! So, if you need some new clothes it might be a good place to check out. Hopefully they will drop their prices a lot more! Here are some other shots of housewares, jewelry and women's clothing.
Have you scored any deals at your Target? I would love to hear about what deals you found. I'm always on the lookout for a good bargain!
Happy Shopping!
