Target always has a great selection of affordable Easter items, but the real party starts after the holiday. Shopping Target deals for Easter can save you up to 90%, and if you didn’t know already, the Target clearance schedule always follows a predictable pattern.
We typically see the deepest discounts a week after Easter. Easter in 2025 is on April 20, so we'll see clearance start on April 21 and reach up to 90% by April 26. You can usually get deeply discounted crafts, decor, Easter candy, baskets, and more at Target. I’m talking about items you can repurpose and use the rest of the year — or stuff you can save until next Easter.
So how do you get the most out of Target’s Easter clearance in 2025? We have all the deets you need, plus the best deals to grab in stores now. I’ll show you what you can expect to find, when to shop for certain items, and how to score the lowest prices. You don’t even need to know how to coupon at Target to get these Easter finds.
Target Easter Clearance is an annual sale with 50% - 90% off Easter candy and decor.
Just like Target’s Christmas Clearance Sale, their Easter Clearance Sale starts the day after the holiday with 50% off egg-dyeing kits, decor, and cards. The discounts increase to 70% a few days later, and about a week after Easter, the discounts hit 90%. (Easter candy starts out at 30% off and increases up to 70%.) Although most of this sale is only available in stores, Target has some online Easter clearance as well.
KCL predicts the next Target Easter Clearance sale will start on April 21, 2025.
Target hasn’t officially announced the next date for their Easter Clearance Sale, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll take place on Monday, April 21, 2025. That’s because Easter is on Sunday, April 20. And like all Target clearance sales, this one begins the day after the holiday in question.
Based on their sale predictability, you can expect Easter clearance discounts to hit 90% off on April 26, 2025.
Target Easter Clearance starts the Monday after Easter and lasts about a week.
Each Target store gives all remaining Easter inventory a final 90% markdown one week after the holiday. Those items are usually only 90% off for a day (or two at max), so time's limited. Plus the longer you wait, the more items get picked over.
After about 10 days, Target will donate Easter clearance items or send them to Target salvage stores. Those are the only places you’ll find regular and holiday Target clearance for up to 90% off.
Keep in mind that clearance timing may vary from store to store. For example, Florida Target locations may see 70% off before stores in Georgia. Also, one store in Florida may see clearance markdowns sooner than another in-state location.
KCL TIP: You can always ask an associate at your local Target if they know when each round of markdowns will happen.
Buy Easter chocolate and candy when they reach 70% off at Target — then save it for next year.
Easter candy never goes up to 90% off at Target like other Easter items do, so buy candy when it hits 70% off (about a week after the holiday) and save it for Easter next year.
We’ve seen Hershey’s Chocolate Bunnies marked down to $0.39 one week after Easter, plus Russell Stover Bunnies for just $0.66 apiece.
KCL TIP: Chocolate can last for a year, and non-chocolate candy can last longer. You can even freeze your chocolate Easter bunnies to get more mileage out of them. Or chop them up and use them as shaved toppings for baked goods or fudge sundaes.
Stock up on Target Easter clearance toys for 50% - 70% off and use them as party favors or gifts later on.
You won’t want to wait for the 90% markdown on Easter clearance toys — your best bet is to buy them at 50% or 70% off. Why? Because they sell like hotcakes.
Scoop up great party favors like gel pens, lip balms, nail polishes, notepads, pencils, sidewalk chalk, and more fun stuff in Target’s Easter clearance section at 50% off.
Keep your eyes peeled for toys that aren’t so Easter-themed since those are the best to use as gifts year-round. Even a bunny-shaped zip pouch or stuffed animal doesn’t necessarily scream “Easter” for someone who likes bunnies. And when you can get them for as low as $0.50, who cares anyway?
Buy Target Easter egg-dyeing kits and grass for 90% off and save them for next year.
Wait for Target Easter basket items and dye kits to reach 90% off about a week after Easter — the shelves are always full of these items, no matter how many other Easter clearance goodies are still available.
You’ll score bags of Easter grass for $0.05 (regularly $0.50) and egg-dyeing kits for $0.30 (regularly $3).
Always scan Easter clearance items at Target to check for secret clearance prices.
Since post-holiday markdowns happen fast, don’t always trust the signs. It’s possible your items cost less than you think. You can check the current prices on the Target app or at a price scanner in the store.
I always scan anything that’s spring- or Easter-themed, hoping to find a secret clearance price. Plus you may stumble upon a hidden Target Circle deal for your item when you scan it. Most Circle deals exclude clearance, but occasionally Target will drop clearance-specific offers.
KCL TIP: Don’t forget to use your Target Circle Card to get an extra 5% off everything.
Check the Target Dollar Spot for random discounts on Easter and spring items.
Once you’ve covered the Easter clearance section at Target, stop by the Target Dollar Spot at the front of the store for more spring and Easter savings.
Since these items are typically more themed for spring than Easter, you can use them after the holiday and beyond.
Buy Easter baby clothes at Target when they’re 90% off.
Target marks down Easter baby clothing along with the other Easter clearance items, so it’s a great way to stock up on onesies and baby stuff that you can use year-round.
And baby clothes stick around longer than some of the other Easter clearance stuff. The week after Easter, I’ve seen Target baby onesies for as low as $2.99 (regularly $9.99) and girls’ bucket hats for $0.30 (regularly $3).
Grab clearance baking supplies that you can use all year for 50% off.
Target regularly marks down Easter bakeware and utensils in their Easter clearance, and most of these items are good to use whenever. Look for baking and cooking supplies in Target’s Easter clearance right away when it hits 50% off the day after the holiday. These items don’t usually stick around for long.
We’ve seen cupcake pans and Dash mini waffle makers go on sale for $4.99 (regularly $9.99), plus a Dash Everyday Egg Cooker for just $8.49 (regularly $16.99). Sometimes these items will be seasonal (like Easter bunny cookie cutters), but that doesn’t mean you can’t make bunny-shaped cookies any other time of year.
Save at least 70% on clearance Easter baskets and repurpose them.
Leftover Easter baskets are the perfect organization solution for kids’ rooms and play spaces, especially when you can get them for 70% - 90% off. We’ve seen Target Easter baskets that were regularly $5 sell for just $0.50 in their Easter clearance.
Plus, most Easter baskets at Target aren’t totally seasonal. Usually the only thing that makes them Easter baskets (and not just baskets) is a piece of fabric you can easily remove. And even still, pastel plaid isn’t such a bad thing after Easter.
Don’t need the extra organization? Buy clearance Easter baskets and repurpose them for gifts later on in the year.
Buy Target Easter decor and tableware when they hit 90% off.
You’re usually safe waiting a few days for these items, mostly because people aren’t thinking about Easter decor right after the holiday. You’ll find plenty of figurines, plates, wooden signs, throw pillows, and more on the shelves when Easter clearance hits 70% and even 90% off.
We’ve seen Easter dinner plates for $0.30, decorative Easter signs for $0.50, and Easter throw pillows for just $3 when Target Easter clearance is in full swing.
