Target Back to School Clearance Now Up to 70% Off

If you are looking to stock up on school supplies for next year on the cheap or want to donate to your local schools, be sure and keep a close eye on the Back to School section at Target. Different areas of the country may drop at different times depending on when their school year starts – my local Tampa store has select items already up to 70% off.

But here in Tampa my son has been in school since the first week of August so we may be a bit early. But wherever you are, it’s definitely something to watch closely. Eventually this whole section needs to be cleared out for the next seasonal event to completely take over  – HALLOWEEN! 🙂

I found a LOT of Five Star products – which were stickered, and there are coupons good until the end of the month to use…

-$1.50/1 Five Star Binder 7-28-19 SS x9/29
-$1/2 Five Star Products 7-28-19 SS x9/29
-$2/2 Five Star Reinforced Filler Paper 7-28-19 SS x9/29

I had a ton of lunch boxes and bags on clearance – and there were some really cute ones. I miss the days of being able to buy cute stuff for my son for the years ahead – but now that he is in high-school those days are long gone! But it’s great when they are young since it’s a super way to save money for next year since they are much easier to please!

It’s also a great time to pick up some spare backpacks for next year at a discount or if you have a kid who is rough on theirs, you’ll have a back-up during the year. Backpacks are great to use on overnighters & short trips too, so it’s always nice to have some spares.

For me – most items seemed to be stickered this year but there were some things that were not – so it’s wise to check up at the scanner anyway to make sure what you have interest in is in fact discounted and at what price.

These Mead notebooks weren’t stickered, and ringing up 50% Off. If you find them too – there’s a little bonus involved since they have a sheet of coupons inside that you have until then end of September to use. There are coupons for Elmer’s, Swingline & More – but the most impressive one to me is a $1/1 Kleenex Multipack coupon.

So Happy Hunting, and while I know clearance can vary from store-to-store, I hope you find lots of great things to stock up for next year at a fraction of the cost!

Target: Back to School Clearance Now Up to 90% Off

If you are looking to stock up on school supplies for next year on the cheap or want to donate to your local schools, be sure and keep a close eye on the Back to School section at Target. Different areas of the country may drop at different times depending on when their school year starts – my local Tampa store has select items already at 90% off.

But here in Tampa my son has been in school since the first week of August so we may be a bit early. But wherever you are, it’s definitely something to watch closely. Eventually this whole section needs to be cleared out for the next seasonal event to completely take over  – HALLOWEEN! 🙂

For me it seemed to be mostly up & up brand items that were 90% off, but my husband & I love taking the opportunity to donate a lot more than we normally could at full-price to our local elementary & middle schools. If you don’t see signs be sure and check up at the scanner, just in case they are wrong.

Much of the up & up Back to School will not be stickered – so it’s wise to check up at the scanner anyway to make sure what you have interest in is in fact discounted..

While I was pleased to see so much of the up & up unstickered – there are still brand name items that are, but already up to 70% off. Watch for Five Star, Elmer’s, Post-It and more. Here’s some coupons you may want to bring with you in case you find the same deep discounts…

-$1.50 off when you buy ONE Five Star Binder 7-29 SS1 x9/30
-$1 OFF when you purchase 2 Five Star Products 7-29 SS1 x9/30
-$2/2 Five Star Reinforced Filler Paper 7-29 SS1 x9/30
$2 OFF Post-It Super Sticky Notes purchase of $10 or more

It’s also a great time to pick up some spare backpacks for next year at a discount. All mine were stickered and at 50% off. I’m hoping they go to 70% before they all disappear.

In addition to traditional school supplies, we also see other items that Target stocks up on during Back to School season like Kleenex tissues, hand sanitizer and more that will also find it’s way to clearance. Most of these items can also be used year round, and should be stickered up to 30% off, like these Kleenex multipacks. We have coupons to use to save even more…

$0.75 on any THREE (3) boxes or ONE (1) Bundle Pack of KLEENEX Facial Tissue (ETS)
-.50 Off Kleenex Facial Tissue (3 boxes/packs 30 ct+) or Wet Wipes 20 ct+ 9-9 SS1 x10/6
.50 OFF THREE boxes or ONE Bundle Pack Kleenex Tissues

Ziploc 56 ct sandwich bags and 66 count snack bags up to 30% off down to $2.23. Even better, we have a couple of coupons out there for additional savings…

$1.00 on TWO (2) select Ziploc brand bags featuring Disney Frozen or Star Wars
$1 OFF when you purchase TWO Ziploc Brand Products

Hand sanitizers are another thing we typically see clearance on as well. Just 30% off for me right now, but we do have a stack for Purell that will make them as low as .66 cents if you find it too…

-20% Off Purell Hand Sanitizer or Soap 8 oz or larger Target Cartwheel x9/15
$1.00 OFF on ONE (1) 8 oz. or larger bottle of PURELL Instant Hand Sanitizer

So Happy Hunting, and while I know clearance can vary from store-to-store, I hope you find lots of great things to stock up for next year at a fraction of the cost!
