It pays to have the inside scoop on markdowns! I hit my local Target store this morning because I knew they'd be marking their Halloween merchandise down to 75% off.
Typically, Target holiday markdowns (except Christmas) follow a 3-2-2 schedule. It goes to 50% off on November first, then three days later 75%. Again, three days after that what's left is 90% off. Two days after that it goes to salvage (Goodwill).
