 Lucky!  The service desk at a local Target told me the that they were supposed
 to be 50% off (they were price checking at $9.99 still) so I grabbed all 18
 unopened buckets they had.  The cashier didn't know how to ring them up at 50%
 off so he called over a manager.  The manager called the toy department who said
 they weren't 50% off (like every other Halloween item in the store), so they
 wouldn't give me 50% off!  :-(
 
 I bought 1 bucket.  My wife called the Target today and asked when they would be
 discounted.  The manager said he called headquarters who told him they were
 discontinued but not clearanced.
