The Target liquidation began today, as 133 stores are closing across the country, including 5 here in the capital.
The liquidators are promising up to 30% off, but many shoppers are walking away disappointed.
An hour before Target opened this morning, Sarah Depow was waiting to be among the first to check-out the sales.
"I actually came out last night and checked-out the inventory,” says Depow. “I'm interested in a big screen TV.”
By 8:00am at Billings Bridge Plaza, about 40 people were in-line when Target opened its doors.
Some shoppers were happy with the modest savings, but most were discouraged.
Some items that are marked down include:
30%: Cosmetics, winter stock, and stationary.
20%: Toys, home decor, and clothing.
10%: TV's, furniture, bedding, groceries, diapers, strollers and car seats.
5%: Laptops and Ipads.
Sarah Depow didn't get her big screen TV, at just 10% off, but she did manage to find a few good deals.
"Their home furnishings I like, you can't get that anywhere else,” says Depow, “They were 20% off, so I stocked-up.”
Target isn't commenting on-camera today, but in a statement said they aren't setting the prices anymore, the discounts are decided by the liquidators.
