I went on what is possibly my last trip to Target Canada this past weekend. Emotions were high for this Target-loving gal. I know, I know. I live close to the border and can go there, blah blah blah. It's a two hour drive and involves customs- a pain in the you-know-what. Oh well, I did it before and I'll do it again. I just don't have to like it. But we have to get our Target fix somehow, don't we? Unless Target finally listens to my ramblings and starts offering online shopping to Canadian shoppers **HINT TARGET HINT**.
You can see my first clearance haul and thoughts on the whole Target Canada closing ordeal here. This weekend, the discounts were 70-90% off depending on the item. I left the receipt downstairs, but I know I saved $185 when all was said and done. Here's what I managed to find in the dregs! And of course, you can probably still find most of this in stock at the US locations, if you like anything I bought.
Having big feet worked out well for me- finally! Most of the shoes left were sizes 10 and 11. I scored these for $5 a pair. I'm all set for spring and summer! I'm definitely wearing those red ones when I see Taylor Swift in October.
I got lucky with this tray. It was on a little shelf all by itself and I knew I had to have it. I haven't decided if I want to put it on my jewelry dresser or my vanity yet. It's just so pretty! The only makeup left was Sonia Kashuk stuff, surprisingly. I didn't really feel the need to go crazy, but I did pick up this neutral palette for about $3.50. Like I needed another neutral palette...but $3.50? Like I'm going to say no! I'll swatch it soon.
You have to inspect some of the home goods, if you're going. Some things are getting nicked or broken, but I found this frame in good condition. Perfect for my gallery wall on my stairs that will be the bane of my existence until I get it done!
CDs, games, DVDs, etc. were on for 70%. I definitely could have went overboard, because they still had a lot of good options left. But I did pick up a few I've had my eye on. I was having a hard time finding 1989 in stock, but finally found it. I am still in denial about Glee being over. Those wounds are still fresh. I missed this Christmas movie when it aired last year and I had to have it for Robin Williams and Lauren Graham being in it. And then, Bears. If you're not new around here, you know my infatuation with bears.
Lastly, they had a lot of dog items left. Score! Or should I say Indy scored? I got him a mint food and water bowl for traveling or for being outside on our patio, two collars, a bow tie, harness, backup leash, and a dental kit. I think I got all of this for around $27. Indy sported his bow tie for Easter Sunday, looking like the dapper little gentleman that he is. Ah, that face.
(P.S. - I may have totally started an Instagram for my animals under "indytheterrier".)
The last stores close on April 12, 2015. If yours is still open, I think it is worth going in and seeing what is left. You might get a few lucky finds like I did. If I get a chance, I may try to go to the last one open around me this weekend. Otherwise, I have to accept that this dance is over. This whomps (< bonus points if you know the show!).

I'm so sad about this...STILL.
You got some great stuff, but my reign of Target shopping terror in Canada is over. My stores are now closed.
I did score two pairs of those shoes, and a ton of other stuff over the last couple of years. Sigh. Online shopping would be a dream, right? I'm just hoping to make the trip to Buffalo soon. I already miss my random runs.

Something About That
That is an amazing shoe haul! I'm not sad that Target US isn't closing, but I am a bit jealous of your haul. Of course I wear a size 9 in shoes, which is often sold out even when the shoes aren't on clearance....
I understand that! I have the weirdest feet and can wear anything from a 9-11 in different brands. I don't get it, but it definitely makes ordering shoes online a pain. But oh man, size 9 is the hardest for me to find. I usually buy flip-flops and sandals in that size and it's near impossible sometimes to find any. I feel your pain!
Girl, YES. I am hoping to go to the Stockyards location this weekend. We shall see! I think that's the closest one to me that is left, aside from Brampton. I thought May was too soon and then they bumped it up. I don't want to say goodbye. I just don't wanna! *insert crying face emoji here*
