AS USUAL, the Bay Area is stubbornly refusing to drop prices along with the rest of the nation. I'd like to have a word or two with the Regional Coordinator for this area. OK, a few thousand, very LOUD words, many of them profanity. (...) -- Tom (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Hey Tom, haven't we all on Lugnet learned by now that you don't draw flies with vinegar? :-) When I checked three Targets in Solano county yesterday morning only one had gone to 75% off. Unfortunately it wasn't the first Target I hit and I had (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I just got back from a Target this morning. This was one that isn't as well-trodden as the others because it's tucked out of the way in a smallish town. I was happy to see a couple of Mindstorms accessory kits, but they were still scanning in at 50% (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) ...And in the "always check back" department, I had a hunch that today might see discounts that were missed yesterday. I called a few stores and they vehemently denied that anything had been further discounted since yesterday, but somehow I (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I had that same hunch and went back to a store (60 mile round trip!) where yesterday they vehemently denied that the sale prices would be coming down. I was thrilled to get two copies of that lovely color-coordinated set Dino Research Compound (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) As well it should: of the 3 Targets I've checked this week, two were down to single-digit quantities of sets on clearance, and the third was barely into the teens. Ditto for Wal-Mart. Why would they want to increase their losses when half-off (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Oog. My Target only had the AAT on sale, and it was only $5 off. There were a ton of A-Wings on the shelf, but they were full price. I picked up three more Droid Escape sets, tho. :^) ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Oh go for it Tom ;) We can meet at 8am when K-mart (or WM or target, etc) opens up and have coffee while counting our finds <lol> In fact, some of the WMs are open 24/7.

I live in CA, which SHOULD take 12+ hours to traverse N-S at the speed limit. Yet I seem to make the 450 miles from SF to LLC in 7 hours or less every time ;-) I've also made it from OH to CA in 2.5 days including a breakdown that blew half a day (...)
