I went to the Target at Beltline & Jupiter in Richardson and the one up in Allen. I was mainly looking for the kitchen stuff and drills/saws/etc. At the Beltline store, I snagged the last Philips Toaster Oven for ~$21. This thing is sweet. I couldn't find any of the other appliances or T-Fal or Revere pots/pans. I really wanted that 9 piece T-Fal set.

At the Allen store, the only thing I found on special was the Deep Fry cooker. It looked like the store demo though, as it was all scratched up and didn't come with the box/manual. Would have been a good deal for $30 had it been in good condition. This store was wipped clean of ALL T-Fal stuff. They had the Revere Copper Pan set but it was still at the original $129. Also, they had the George Forman big grill, but it was still at $99.

Overall a good find on the Philips toaster oven, but it would have been killer if I could have gotten the G. Forman grill and T-Fal set.

I just got back from another Target.
I got a 16" kids bike with training wheels for less than $9.
I also got a kit with a kids helmet, gloves, and a water bottle for $2.50.
Tennis rackets were on sale. I got one for less than $8 and the original price was about $30.
They also had generic Leatherman type tools for $5, but there were 3 in the set, not just one. There was another set with 3 generic Swiss Army type knives for the same price. I got the set with the tools that resembled the Leatherman tools. I thought it would be more useful to me. They were not the greatest quality or anything, but they would work and are nice for the price.
Kids toy sets were real cheap as well. They had little golf sets, soccer sets, sets with miscellaneous balls, etc. for real cheap.
If any of you are Italian they had nice Bocce Ball sets for about $20. I got a cheaper set that kind of looks like a kids set, but will work OK for just $2.50.

For anyone looking for the George Foreman grills, they're not the squareish countertop ones, they're big round things on pedestals. They might be located in the barbecue section, not in appliances - that's where I saw them at today.

Went to four Targets in two days, and didn't score either the deep fryer or breadmaker I was looking for. :(

I didn't notice if there were any organizers or calcs on clearance but today they did a major markdown in the sporting goods area. They had camping chairs, the fold up type with carrying case for 4.90 to 8.60, Topflite golf balls 15 pk for 3.14 other brands also 75% off, badminton, horse shoe, croquet, volleyball, bocce ball, as well as others 4.90 to 9.90 depending on quality of set. They all come in carrying cases. Kids bikes 16" and 20" 8.70 to 17.50. Sleeping bags, tents, you name it, all pretty much 75% off. Somethings are still showing 50% off but they will either go down tomorrow (they normally mark down sporting goods on Friday) or in the next week or 2. I normally go to 2 to 3 Target's every weekday to jump on their deals.

My local Targets didn't have the breadmaker either, but my local Wal-Mart has some for $23. The Wal-Mart ones can only make a 1.5 lb loaf vs. the 2 lb. loaf the Target machine can make, but $23 is still cheap and my wife really wanted a bread maker.

Scored a $90 bread machine for $19.94, Two $60 toaster ovens for $14.44, and a $70 pressure cooker for $17.44 last night. A very good deal. The bread machine and pressure cooker are mine. The toaster ovens will pay for them. :)

Went by a local (VA) Target tonight. Just about everything mentioned in this thread was either out of stock or not marked down. I did find a few things (metal dog bowls/treat canisters and Trivial Pursuit Millenium) which were scanning with no price, just "clearance". The cashier ended up giving me two $9.99 stainless steel bowls and a $12.99 canister for $2.40 each. TP Millenium cost me $9.94.
I wish there were still some of the small appliances left, but they had already been raided. :(

Went to the Culver City and Manhattan Beach stores today in LA area. Nothing. Either it wasn't there, like the breadmakers, or it hasn't been marked down yet. I'll probably be back there every week until I gets what I wants!

I bought the Delonghi Deep Fryer for $19.95 (Reg. $79.99).

What a nice product! We used it last night and it did a great job. If you can get one of these, I recommend it. Totally worth $19.95!! :)

Well, the East LA area has been pretty much wiped clean by either Anandtechers or Soccer Mom Broads. I went to the following Target Stores: Alhambra, Pasadena, Monrovia, Baldwin Park, Puente Hills, and La Habra and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt. Errr....I mean all I found was one of the Oster Toaster Ovens for $14.44, the TeFal Avante 4 Slice Toaster for $13, and the Delonghi Toaster Oven for $12.44. I saw the Deep Fryer for $19.99 (I think at Puente Hills). It was new in the box and I stared at it for like 10 minutes. I decided that fried foods are too fattening. :) There were some other Oster Toaster Ovens scattered about, but the boxes were thrashed and they were missing the rack and other accessories.

Have no fear though, I'm not hoarding toaster ovens for eSlay. My friend needs one (so he gets the smaller one...heh heh).

It was worth the trip though, and I got to see the "cultural diversity" of East Los Angeles. I went from Asian, to Hispanic, to Caucasian all in one evening... ;)
