Get Ready for Target Day After Christmas Clearance

The day after Christmas at Target has become a favorite shopping trip of the year for me. I love hunting for good deals on stuff we can use all year long. For those of you not familiar with Target's After Christmas Clearance here are the details as best I can remember (although last year they changed some of their rules regarding the clearance).

The day after Christmas all holiday stuff is 50% off. This lasts one week at 50% off.
After the 50% off week, everything goes to 75% off for the week. Then after that week it will go to 90% off.

There is usually a lot of stuff like wrapping paper, decorations, etc. for the 75% off week but Christmas trees will usually be gone the first day. I wait for 75% to buy anything decorative.

So, what do I buy the day after Christmas?
Here is a list of stuff I'll be looking for:
Holiday Scented Glade Candles, Airwick air freshener, etc.
Anything made by Proctor and Gamble with winter patterns on the packaging. This typically includes Ziplock bags, Cascade dishwasher detergent, Glad Press and Seal paper, Clorox Wipes, Listerine, Softsoap, trashbags, paper towels, etc.
Candy
Pillsbury holiday cake mixes, frostings
Ghiradelli Brownie Kits
boxed razor gift sets
boxes Oil of Olay gift sets
perfume gift sets

I will buy only stuff I know that I can use all year long on 50% off day.

If you decide to venture to Target the Day After Christmas, they will open all stores at 8 am, instead of 9 on this day. If you get some good deals, please share with us how you did.

Angie,
I have lurked on your blog a long time now! But I wanted to let you know that the Targets here in SW Florida will open at 7 am. And a lot of folks around the country are reposting 7 am too. Don't want you to miss out of an hour of shopping!
God Bless,
Michele

Thanks for the ideas, Angie! I wasn't able to find alot of "holiday" products, but did manage 2 snack size ziplocs at $1.17 each plus a $1.50 off of 2 coupon (from boxtops for education website)and 2 bottles of softsoap bodywash (twin pack) for $2.50... wish I had printed off a $1 off coupon for each!
