If you love shopping at Target, learn these Target shopping tips to make your next store run a breeze.
Getting to know the clearance patterns at your local Target store can result in substantial savings. Generally, Target performs markdowns from Monday to Friday. After the first markdown, further reductions typically happen every two weeks, depending on the item and inventory. But this schedule can vary from one store to another, so it’s beneficial to familiarize yourself with your local Target’s specific patterns.
Reading a Target clearance tag correctly can also give you insights into whether to wait for a bigger discount. The discount percentage (30%, 50%, or 70%) is indicated in the clearance sticker’s upper right corner. In the middle, there’s a 9-digit number known as the DPCI, which you can use to check the inventory at other stores.
You can even return clearance items to Target within 90 days of purchase, except for a few items like salvaged or discontinued products.
