What's your best memory?
The 90% off Christmas deals last year -- the best!
Then the 90% of Valentine's deals came shortly after. Nice memories.
I remember this huge two level red cart planted at the cashiers.
Vaccum cleaners at 70% off.
Ice melter jugs at 70% off. Still have some ice melters too.
Lol, nice thread. I hated Zellers with a passion and don't think that the two can or should be compared! :P
I got everything on liquidation from Target. I loved my $3 cotton bed sheets and my $0.03 Arm & Hammer laudry detergent, as well as free makeup and creams. I didn't really get anything "BIG" from there, but I hope I could find some nice stuff in the closing sales. I'm really sad to see Target go! :'(
We are finishing off the last of our Target Perrier deals.
Bought the glass bottles of lemon, lime and pink grapefruit Perrier, reg. $1.67 for $0.67
Seems like it tastes better when it's $0.67:lolsign:
Best memory is when I lost my phone and a Target employee did everything he could think of to try and help me find it and even called my moms phone(the contact number I gave them in case it showed up) to see if I had found it. Employees offering/insisting on carrying my big purchases to my car. Employees handing out stickers(and not just the Target logo stickers but character ones) to kids in the store just because.
Never going to get service like that anywhere else that I can afford to shop at.
Threshold Memory Foam pillows with like Cooling Gel - they're $40 original price, got them for $20
Cheep Cheese, still makes me happy when i think about it!!!!
I remember the excellent customer service I had every single time I was in the store.
There's so many great memories, it's hard to pin point just one. I've always received excellent customer service there! I love shopping at Target and have always felt important to the employees. They are always so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic!
When the store first opened I went in to look at the Keurigs. WM had one style on sale for $59. I asked an employee if they would price match and it happened to be the manager and he said yes. I said I'd have to go home and get the flyer but he said no need. He said he'd take the Keurig to the customer service desk and leave a note that said for them to ring it in as $59. Super easy. No hassle. That was my first experience in the store. WONDERFUL!
I remember going in this past Summer and seeing a bunch of chairs on clearance for 70% off. I didn't need more but at that price I couldn't resist! There were 2 male employees near by and saw me trying to put a few chairs in my cart. They offered to carry anything I wanted upstairs to the customer desk. The 2 guys even said to have them paged and they would carry everything out to my car when I was ready to check out! Amazing customer service!
One of the girls who regularly marks stuff down saw me in the toy aisle looking at clearance deals a few months after my store opened. She said if there's anything I'm interested in to bring it to her to scan, it may be lower and just not marked yet. We talked about what I was interested in (construction type things for DS's birthday party) and she offered to go look in the back for anything that might work.
This past Tuesday as I was coming off the elevator a young male employee saw me and made a point to come over and excitedly tell me that they are marking lots of Women's clothing down and that I should check it out. He said he was telling all female shoppers he saw. lol. Such friendly enthusiasm!
I could go on and on! I love Target! The deals I've found have been amazing!
My favourite deal is also hard to pin point but I'd have to say it would be all the new bedding I bought. We had just bought a King size bed and needed all new bedding. We had been to the US the week before so I checked out the stores and no good deals to be had. Go into our Target and found everything I needed for great prices! Bought the same duvet I was looking at in Target US for $40 cheaper! And people say the US store is so much cheaper? No, not always! Got the duvet, duvet cover and sheet set all for just a little more than what the US duvet alone would have cost. And they are SOOOOO comfy. Love the fabric! I went back and bought another sheet set at full price because I liked it so much!
Target is one of the only stores in my area that carries my brand of Apple Juice (Simply Apple) and it's ALWAYS cheaper than anywhere else. I've found it at Metro and Freshco for about $4.99 but Target always has it for $3.00. That's my favourite on going deal. :)
I agree on the cheap cheese!
Also those $2 Glad bags. Had $2 off coupons making them tax only. We are set for garbage bags for a long time.
Those spend $50 get a $10 gift card promos were great. I PMed almost everything and got a $10 bonus to boot.
The 90% off Christmas stuff last year.
The store+manufacturer coupons and the designer clothing collections will be what I miss the most. Guess I have to buy the designer stuff on eBay now
If they had a store that wasn't an hour round trip to get to, I would've gone a few times a week instead of 6x a year. But criticizing their management has been done to death
I go a few times a week just to wander and zone out with my non-night-sleeping baby. So bright and cheerful. Starbucks hanging on the side of my cart. Always left with something beautiful or useful (or both!) for home at a great price. I will miss everything about it!
I really enjoyed Target .. doubling up on Target and Manufacturer coupons (and NEVER having an issue with any coupon). I just picked up some Christmas stuff last week, 16 cards for 21c, 50 bows for 8c. Loved hunting for the clearance buys, chasing down those red stickers was actually quite fun and when you found them and you had a coupon, oh the deals that could be had! I remember getting Sunligh dishwasher tabs for 46c.
In addition, I always found the stores to be bright and clean, always someone to help you with a smile.
Honestly, seems like such a winning formula that it's such a big disappointment to see them go. I think they flopped their grand opening weeks and expanded way too fast. Guess there are some things you cannot recover from.
Oh, and I had a target credit card which I will now have to switch to something else. :(
about your Target credit card, found this on their websiteQuote:

Do you all remember the detergent and fabric softer deals?
There was a lot of clearance on Gain, Tide, Sunlight and fabric softener.
Many SCs are probably well stocked because of Target:-)
I agree, people always went out of their way to help you. Sad for them :(Quote:

The employee apologized and told me to go to Starbucks for a tea or coffee on them. Then proceeded to contact Starbucks on their walkie talkie, telling them I was coming.
Good customer service, indeed.
I'd like to be stocked up on their store brand of softener sheets but never seem to know when they are on sale (not in the flyers which I check on the forum for up&up items).Quote:

Daytime staff seem the most chipper given the sunshine. I've gone at night a few times; Nov/Dec. staff did not really go out of way to greet unless I was the only customer in their zone and they were doing stocking. I feel sorry for one worker who looked to be close to my age working the changeroom/clothing area at night-she had to answer the store phone, page staff, handle customers coming/going from changeroom. She looked so forlorn. She was cordial but the way she was leaning on the counter said "I'm ready to drop into a chair now."
I remember the leather gloves, with the touch screen feature at the fingers, reg. $19.99, sale $5.99, 70% savings
They are great for driving
like this:
Attachment 271574
and the temporary price cut battery deals
Duracell and Eveready
some were reg. $9.99 (?), on sale for $1.99 (?), or price cuts like that
some nice deals
and the Gillian O'Malley bras for $4.99, reg. $16.99, 70% off
sometimes these were marked 50% off, but scanned lower
my greatest memories of amazing deals at Target were all experienced vicariously through Patty!!
and all the gardening supplies reduced to ridiculous prices, with or without coupon
Scott's Miracle Gro soil, fertilizer and grass seed for about $5 after coupon, when the regular price was about $15 for some
and the Viva paper towel single rolls for $0.09 after sale price ($2.09)and coupon ($2)
what a great deal
the travel size samples, got a bunch of body wash & deodorant for $0.50 or less
Not that they'd fit me but I need such gloves for winter driving!Quote:

Since I used a grocery store's self checkout after my Target visit today, I have to say a favourite memory is realizing how much easier it is to feed coins/bills into Target's lower placed receptacles in their own checkout units. It's been a few months since I used the Target ones-the red unit colour provides a nice contrast against the slot and blinking light.
At Sobey's, I had to look for the blinking lights for cash (coins/bills)-the receptacles are plastic and flat black. The Sobey's unit took several seconds to acknowledge my $1 coin after my 10 cent coin was inserted and acknowledged (can of pop purchase).
