The key is to check if the price ends in a “4.” “If the price on the sticker ends in an ’8,’ it will be marked down again,” says Kelly at FaithfulProvisions.com. “If it ends in a ’4,’ that’s the lowest it will be. So if you see a price ending in a ’4′ at 50 percent off, you might want to grab it now, because it’s not going to get any cheaper.” Target has a team of employees who focus on marking down merchandise, and certain departments get marked down on certain days, several frugal bloggers have noted.
