I visited Target and Wal*Mart in Mountain View, CA, and Kmart in Santa
Cruz yesterday, and didn't find anything exciting in the way of Lego.
Target had a few sets at 30% off, but otherwise everything was full
price...

Target San leandro has the soccer value pack for $10.40, Watto's Junkyard for
$24.40, tri-wheel trike and the SW green speedster for $6.90, a few Power adn
Swamp Roboriders for $3.40, and some Droid Escapes for $4.80

That's much better than what I saw yesterday.  Do you know when those
prices took effect?

Is the soccer pack http://guide.lugnet.com/set/78800 ?  The MSRP is
not listed for that set.  But based on the price of the 3403 Fans'
Grandstand with Scoreboard, which is one of the 3 sets in 78800 and
MSRP's at $15, it sounds like a good deal.

MSRP for Watto's junkyard is $50; T-3 Trike and flash speeder, $10;
roboriders and droid escape, $6.  So it looks like mostly you saw the
same 30% off that I saw, but Watto was half price.  The Wattos I saw
were about 30% off IIRC.

Also, does Target match the prices of other stores in the area?  IOW,
if the price hasn't been lowered at my local store(s), do I have to go
to San Lenadro to get the cheap Watto?
