Target City Micro price drop yet?

Has anyone's Target dropped the City Micro price under 99 yet?  I keep watching the 2 Targets nearby and they are both hanging out at 50% with tons of inventory left.  My closest Target either has not sold any or keeps replenishing their floor stock to the exact same random level.  Going to Target every couple days to watch the price is really bad for my budget!

At this point, you'd be better off buying it at 50% off so you'd stop going and spending more money every day, lol!

My Targets were all wiped out as soon as they hit 50 so I can't speak for if they've dropped yet but I did buy one. I used my Redcard and it was under $95 and, I have to say, I even like it at that price. At $200, no way but $95, definitely.

Still 50% off at my local Targets.  They are probably going to hold out on this item until it is almost gone.

Find the item number on the clearance sticker and call to ask current price. They will be ble to tell you current price and stock and it will help with the obligatory Target $100 that we spend each time we grace their doors! :)

You will particularly want what they call the DCPI #.  I know this because I called a store out by my dad so he could pick one up.  I was planning on it, but he's so anxious for LO to arrive, that he said he needed to spend some $$. ;)  When I called the store the computer showed 7 in stock, but there were only 3 on the floor.

Why not just buy it? 99 is a good deal. It's seems crazy to me to keep going to check price.

Can't you get a price adjustment if it comes down in price?

I could. My Target still has 15 on the floor. Target is in the same shopping center as most of my lunch options so it is not like I am really going out of my way to check it. I just always find other stuff I didn't know I needed when I go! I go to target usually once or twice a week anyway for groceries and other stuff so I'm not really there much more than usual but any time I wander outside the groceries my wallet is in danger!

I just swiped this up at 50% off. My Target was down to two and I didn't want to miss the deal.

Let me say, I LOVE it. It is like a hybrid of the Mini and Micro, with a HUGE sun shade and larger back wheels. Steers like a dream (one-handed!), large basket, easy fold, fairly light. I was sold.

Worth. Every. Penny.

I keep checking too. Markdowns in baby usually happen on Mondays. Every Target in my area has 2 out and I'm waiting. If I can snag one for 70 off we plan on using it for traveling.

I don't think she was whining about anything. Her original question was just asking if anyone's had changed to 70% yet. Everyone else was just offering suggestions.

I go to Target at least 3 times a week. All the stores around me have quite a few left, so I am not worried about not getting one.

I was told no price adjustments on clearance when I tried to do it just 2 days ago.

I would buy it now, and if it goes down to 70% buy a new one and return the one you got 50% on.  I believe they should still take it back at the price you paid.

On several other baby gear boards that I frequent, a few people were told they won't be going lower than 50% off due to an agreement with Baby Jogger regarding pricing.

I got mine for $60 each 2-3 weeks ago.  I bought 2 because I have twins.

But when I checked 3 other Target stores near me, they were priced at $138, $99, and $125.

I found before that Targets in my area vary greatly on pricing on a store by store basis.

Strollers are awesome, by the way.  We really really love them!

Also wanted to mention that the Target stores by me would not do a price adjustment on a clearance item.

When we were buying our cribs awhile ago, the prices kept dropping and dropping.  So I carried my  hard copyreceipts with me and when I found a lower price, I would buy the cribs in the store.  Then take them directly to the Customer Service desk and return them with most current receipt that was showing  a higher price.  I think we did this 5x - it was crazy how little we paid for 2 cribs! But I wasn't about to keep hauling cribs home and then dragging them back to the store.  The boxes all had the same code / SKU / ID #, so it was no problem.

I just bought one yesterday for $99. I think Target does their baby markdowns on Mondays, so I'm going to check again on Monday and return the $99 one if the price goes down.

I'm also waiting to see if their cribs go down to 70%!

This is my plan.  My Target USUALLY won't do price adjustments on clearance.  I have been successful once.  I think it totally depends on who you catch.  I have one at home, but 70% off is always better than 50 :)

 Yup just asking other's pricing.  If you are so offended by my "whining", why did you come back to the post again? Rawr.
