Target already is known for offering a good value on a lot of merchandise, but imagine saving even more just by shopping on the right day, when the store happens to have what you want on clearance.


Frugal living site Mommy Savers offers a markdown schedule for a typical Target store. Yours may vary, so if you're a frequent Target shopper, the site recommends getting to know the employees and asking about your own Target's markdown schedule. Here's the markdown schedule many Target stores nationwide follow, according to the article:

Monday Target Markdowns: Kids' Clothing, Stationery (office supplies, gift wrap), Electronics Tuesday Target Markdowns: Women's Clothing and Domestics Wednesday Target Markdowns: Men's Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty Thursday Target Markdowns: Lingerie, Shoes, Housewares Friday Target Markdowns: Cosmetics, Housewares, Automotives

For even better savings, if you're on the fence about a clearance item, wait two weeks to see if it will be marked down even more. Items that are marked down 30 to 50 percent on clearance but unsold are typically reduced every two weeks by Target until they're finally shipped off to Goodwill.
