Now called Bullseye’s Playground, Target has created a more family-friendly collection of both seasonal and other discount-priced items for both kids and adults. Watch for Target’s mascot, Bullseye at the top of this section either popping out of boxes or digging into them, sniffing for deals. 🙂

Most items will still be in the $1 to $5 range and just in time for the holidays, will include decorations, entertaining essentials, and great stocking stuffer ideas for kids. Target has plans to update the assortment every eight weeks to stay ahead of the seasons so watch for clearance! Kelley’s store has already changed over to Bullseye’s Playground, as you can see from her pictures. What about your store? Do you have Bullseye’s Playground yet?

Reader Tips on Storing Battery-Operated Toys

removing-batteriesWith all the Target toy clearance going on, some of you have really lucked out and have been able to gather gifts at a fraction of the cost for the upcoming Christmas holiday, Birthdays and more, I got a couple of e-mails with some good advice that I thought I would pass along.

Many of you may already do this- but Michelle wrote in a reminder that when it’s possible- it’s always a good idea to remove the batteries from toys that will be stored for an extended period of time. There’s nothing worse than discovering a toy doesn’t work and the culprit is corroded batteries- so better safe than sorry.

I also got this same mention about removing batteries from Tish- who also had a suggestion if you have ever discovered a corroded battery compartment… “while sometimes it’s a lost cause- when it is not that bad- I have found that I have been able to use a little witch hazel or rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean out the compartment and get things working again. It’s worth a try anyway since these products are pretty inexpensive and something most people would have in the house already.”

-Thanks for your e-mails & suggestions to Michelle & Tish!

More Hidden Clearance: Disney Mini Plush Toys

UPDATE: I hear that while many of your stores went 90% Off on Valentine’s today, some of you are discovering that all the hidden finds mentioned over the last few days are now back up to regular price. BUT.. some of you are still finding them at 90%, so it is still worth a scan to check. You will never know unless you scan. Best of luck- hope some of you are still able to score some of these finds.

As I posted earlier- several of you reported finding that your stores dropped their Valentine’s Clearance to 90% Off today. If you haven’t dropped yet, you may drop tomorrow (Wednesday)- but there is no guarantee- there are some stores that will be slower to go.

While much of the Valentine’s day section itself may be wiped out for many of you- there are still some surprises to find that are not marked. So whether you are enjoying the finds at 70% or chomping at the bit for 90%, here’s one more thing to put on the list…

Tracy let me know she found these cute little Disney Mini Plushes in the regular aisles were ringing up at 70% Off. But it looks like they are part of the Valentine’s clearance, as Brandy let me know she found some at her store 90% Off. So if your store is at 90% Off already-these should ring up as low .69.

Tracy found hers at the very end of toys on a shelf with other plush near the toddler toys and they were not signed or stickered, so be sure and scan. Look for Little Nemo, Disney Princess and other Monsters Inc Characters too.

Be sure to check out the other hidden clearance finds I’ve posted- you can sort the blog by clearance to find them fast and you can also check out some of the comments on these posts to see what others are finding too!

-Thanks to Brandy for the heads up & to Tracy of Having Fun Saving for the pictures!
