July is a BIG month for clearance deals! It is one of the best months for saving at Target. Here are some of the sales and clearance deals you can expect to find at Target in July. In listing the major clearance deals that will happen in certain departments, but really almost every department will have some great clearance deals this month.

Toy Clearance: One of the biggest deals at Target in July is probably the toy clearance. During July Target marks down a nice selection of clearance toys and we see quite a few items hit 70% off. They do this in order to make room for the new toys that are coming for the holiday season. You can learn more about the Target 70% off toy clearance HERE. In the past, the markdown usually took place the last week of July, but in recent years they have marked things down in waves. We have already started a post with toys we have found on clearance this year, so check it out!

I will be posting lots of information regarding the clearance sale throughout July in order to keep you informed. Make sure you “like” All Things Target on Facebook to stay up-to-date on this big sale. I also recommend following me on Instagram because it’s super easy for me to share information in stories while I am still at the store.

Summer Clearance: Another great section that goes on clearance is the summer section. All of the items they brought in for summer will get marked down in July. In the good ol’ days all of these items would have gone 90% off, but Target has been marking down the summer section with yellow clearance stickers. I’m not sure how things are at your store, but this section is pretty much already wiped out at my store.

Baby Clearance We should also see some baby items, like car seats , strollers, bedding and more get marked down to 50-70% off during the month of July. Last year, most stores reported the 70% off markdown happening the last week of July. The last few years they baby clearance has been a little lighter than previous years.

Patio & Garden Clearance: The remaining patio furniture and garden clearance should go down to 70% off sometime in July. The clearance in this department will vary by region. I’ve seen some folks report that they already have items at 70% off, but at most of my stores they are either still full price or just recently marked down. They need to clear out the department so they can make room for all the school supplies. You may find that most of this department is gone already because people snatched up the items already. It’s slim pickins’ at my stores for sure!

Clothing & Shoes Clearance – We see a larger amount of clearance in the clothing and shoe department due to the fact that they will now be bringing in clothing for fall and winter.

School Supplies: July is a great time to buy school supplies! We should see some great sales and Circle offers for school supplies that can help you save even more. My stores are already stocking the school supply section and we just got out of school a little over a week ago!

New Hearth & Hand & Studio McGee collections – I’m thinking we’ll see some new Hearth & Hand and Studio McGee collections pop up online and in stores. In fact, I’ve already seen a few new Studio McGee pieces at my stores already.

Teacher Prep Event: Every year Target has a Teacher Prep Event where teachers can score a coupon for 15% off school supplies, storage, apparel and more. Last year the deal included items from Bullseye playground. We don’t have information on the coupon yet but once we do we will be sure to share. The coupon is usually valid starting in the middle of July.

Last year you could save in the following categories:
