Target Clearance Thread XXIV

Freeze Time said:
Okay I figured it was one of those states. I just got back from driving cross country and stopped into two random targets in Texas and Maryland hoping to get it at that price but nope. I can't seem to find any of these deals at Target in Southern California where I live.

so this is probably going to bite me in the ass but I believe if the item shows in stock at a target store on the website but doesn't allow pickup, it's most likely on clearance. I am sure there's other scenarios why you can't choose pickup but it seems to work based on my limited data.

ie a toy i know is on nation wide clearance is not available for pickup anywhere even though some stores have 9 of them

edit pickup theory failed today

I just use a barcode generator and scan at the price checkers. The only issue is a bunch of clearance items come up as see team member even though it's not salvaged yet

Yeah, I've observed that phenomenon as well. Pretty sure it started after they did a major change/update to the software on the price scanners some months ago. In my experience it also seems like their level of reliability in terms of them functioning properly has also been somewhat negativity impacted as well compared to prior. It certainly nowhere near the shit show that Walmart is with such things though.

In my experience this is sometimes true but also sometimes not. For example someone mentioned Astro Bot the other day and it showed as not available for pickup at the store closest to me but when I scanned it it was still full price.

Another problem I ran into was a clearance item scanning at a higher price on the price scanner and a cheaper price at the register

🤔 I should've scanned at the register then today. The one copy of Rise of the ronin been sitting on the clearance shelf for months. It always scan at full price but of course that's the online price though. For some reason those scanners wasnt working today so I should had price checked it

Nice finds! Would love to get Alan Wake at that price!
 
Nice, I didn't realize you could still get free shipping on a singular game like that from Best Buy, mine is coming tomorrow but if I wanted to schedule it for a specific time for tomorrow it would have been $10 shipping which is also apparently their standard shipping rate?? mystifying lol, but I don't live in a porch pirate land so I guess I could see why people might want a specific time and could be worth $10 as insurance. I did notice Target is a bit stingier with qualifying for free shipping lately when I got romancing saga.

It may be worth considering signing up for Target Red Card so you never have to worry about free shipping again. There's a debit option if you don't want another credit card.
