That won't work. Short story, clearance and regular merchandise don't mix. You'll only get away with that if the Guest Service employee doesn't know what they're doing.

Target Price Drop Hack

I worked in price change at Target for a year. The price drops are percentages. 25%, 50%, 75%, and occasionally 90%. The price changes are entirely automatic, no one has control over when they take place or what amount they are sold for. It also depends on the department, Electronics items usually have more price steps because they are higher demand items, so I believe they start at 15% and go from there.

Rule of thumb, 75% is the lowest you'll see an item at.

Working in price change got me some incredible deals because we get first picks on the clearanced items, such as a Roomba for 20 dollars, an 800 dollar TV for 200, etc.
