Savings Codes at Target

Submitted by: brickess  06/09/2008 1:16 PM
 
While I’m not sure how much money you can save with this information, I recently learned that Target has a numeric system for letting employees know which products are discounted:

*Items with prices ending in $__._9 are the regular price
*Items with prices ending in $__,_8 are discounted
*The small numbers in the top right corner of the price tag indicate the percentage discount you’re getting off of the regular price (for example, if you see “75”, that’s 75% off the regular or original price)

I used to work at Target, in pricing and presentation. Another bit of info...if the price ends in a 4, such as $5.94, that signifies that it is the last time an item will be marked down...if it doesn't sell, it'll get pulled off the floor. Now, this is not concrete...the person marking down the item usually has the option to mark it down once or twice more...but if you really want it, grab it while you have the chance!!!

Your tip with Target is not completely correct, any red ticket item ending with an even number 8,6,4,2 is a clearance price

Not sure where this Target info is coming from, but most of it is incorrect. If it has a red ticket, it's discounted (clearance). You can find the percent off in the upper right corner of the red ticket...usually 30, 50, or 75. Most items will not go past 75% off.

as a retiree of target pricing, i can say that all the info is correct -----they just didn't add that it -- the info--- was on a red sticker.
