Over the past couple of weeks there have been a lot of items on clearance. At first I thought they would be getting more stuff in. However, on my recent trip to Target, almost everything was gone from the scrapbook aisle and GASP! they moved other things into the aisle (gift bags, etc).
Mine, in CT was doing the clearance thing too...some great deals by the way! (Like I needed to buy MORE stuff!!!) Anyway...when I went last Thurs. they had a whole bunch of MM - paints, card kits, etc AND the new Ellison big shot, but the mini one (the sidekick twin) as well as the thin dies, some embossing folders. They are selling the thin dies in single packs ($5.99)and they have the really long ones ($16.99)...I was so excited...my kids were embarassed!!!! Up until now I wasn't too impressed with their scrapping stuff but that could change!!! I'm afraid to see what they put out in the week since I have been there...actually my wallet, credit card and DH are afraid!!! I am trying to stay away...we'll see how long that lasts!!!
Same at my Target! Went there 2 weeks ago and most everything was on clearance. Hit there today (before Hobby Lobby, which broke my budget) and all new stuff in the scrapbooking aisle. Picked up a few things but they have really added alot of new neat stuff!
It threw me into a panic too, but my neighbor works at Target. They clearanced out to make room for new merchandise. Coincidentally, Walmart did the same thing a few weeks ago and still don't have new stuff out yet. I got the same cutter in the SU! catty for 12.00 on clearance and the Fiskers starter set with 4 templates, the round cutter and the mat for 17.00. I saw it in Michaels today for 44.00! I told the salesperson, she was shocked. Same item 27.00 difference? Oh, and Jolie's Boutique (although picked over) .99 cents.
I got a message from Ellison and another one from Sizzix.com promoting the new Sizzlet/thin cuts cutter. It had a link to the list of Targets/Super Targets which will be carrying the Ellison lines. I'm guessing that those stores will also have the biggest selection of new lines of scrapbookingstuff.
:( Just checked the Ellison list and none of the Target's in my area are scheduled to carry the line. On well, guess I'll just have to make a road trip one of these days!
