Not really clearance, but free is free...

Target in Austin Texas has 10 for 10 Sobe Life Water, each has a BOGO coupon that can be used the same trip, AND if you buy 10, target should issue a $5 GC at checkout for your next trip. I have not tried more than 10 at a time to see if they issue multiple GCs, but a heckuva deal at Free when th GC kicks in the next day.

~Sobe Life water, 10 for $10, BOGO coupon taped to them, $5 GC w/ purch of 10 = free (not clearance but free is better than 90% off)~

dumb question, what is a "gas tile fire bowl" and what you use it for ...?

Pretty sure it's one of the fire pits for your patio or whatever.

Update on the Sobe Life Water - they pulled the coupons off of them at the local store. I have not checked any of the other 5 around me yet, but I suspect that when I got a batch of "free" stuff, some alarm went off somewhere in the cashier's mind...

I am quickly beginning to see Target as a Best Buy-style operation which is full of crap when it comes to these clearance items. I had been tracking the newly reduced to $37.54 Kodak Digital frame mentioned in these pages. I went to a local Long Island Target store when they first went on clearance and saw that there were only about 5 left. I put one aside, in a most-conspicuous place mind you, and would come in every week or so to check up on it. I followed it through its reductions to $104, and then to $75, and I was truly excited when I saw that it had come down to $37. After being out of NY for two weeks, I decided to go Target to finally purchase the frame, fully expecting it to have been sold, since it was "hidden" behind the newer version of the same Kodak frames. When I arrived this evening and saw it still on the shelf, I was over-joyed, thinking that I was about to score a FW bargain! However, my joy turned to concern and then anger when I checked the price and it came up "not in the system," and when the customer service desk told me that they could only sell it to me for its last "open" sale price, which was $74.98, despite the fact that they looked it up in the system and noted that there were two other stores in the area which each had 1 frame, and which had a "lower price" that they could not disclose to me. WTF?!?!?!?!? The CS rep's eyes lit up when I came over with the frame and when I asked her to check the price, she did a double-take, and walked away. She then came back with another scanner and told me that it was priced at $74.98, regardless of the fact that the other stores had it listed for less. Unfortunately, they cannot match other Target store's pricing, so I would have to go to the other store if I wanted the frame at the "lower" price. I've read all the posts about this, but it still seems to be a crock of BS to me! Target and BB are not independently owned and operated, and as such, pricing, especially clearance pricing, while determined by store inventory, is not set at a local level. The manager told me that the prices are system-wide (whatever that means), but that he could not match another store's price, especially since this item was no longer listed in his inventory. What the hell does that mean? If corporate sets the price, you have to honor it, no? Same with BB! I know I'm just a super-disgruntled FW bargain hunter at this point, mainly because I've been burned at BB, Target (and Staples made me buy $250 worth of extra junk before the associate sold me the $350 Acer Laptop), but there has to be a way to address this! I've complained to BB corporate and Staples corporate, but I know it falls on deaf ears, so I'm not going to bother complaining to Target (not that it would matter), but does anyone have a suggestion/solution to this? I know if I go back to Target tomorrow, the frame will be long gone, purchased by the same CSR or store manager who told me it couldn't be reduced anymore. Any thoughts? I can't be the only one pissed about this..... can I?

What are you going to complain about - that you hid an item, thereby depriving Target of a chance to sell it at a regular price, and now want to buy it for a lower price? I am all for bargain hunting, but people somehow have the idea that stores are in the business of selling things at a loss. Target sets clearance prices based on demand at individual stores. Just because it is selling for a lower price in a different store doesn't mean it will sell for that price in your store.

Karma is a pain....

Went to see the target near me has that Kodak picture frame, but the CSR told me that they have discontinued it.

Went into Mens clothing section and saw some Merona Polo Ultimate t-shirts for $1.84, and similar from cherokee at $6.48 and $7.48, found it decent enough.Others can check if they want these t-shirts, the Merona Polo looks a good deal at such a low price.
