Hello friends,

We’re almost there…one last week before the intensity goes up a notch for our peak season.

Starting November 1st, Target will be kicking things off with daily deals. They aren’t always great, but the best part about the daily deals is that if something is a good deal, it’s a very limited window to purchase, which is one of our favorite things to hear.

The real magic begins November 5th though, as Target will be launching pre-Black Friday deals.

If my personal data from previous years is anything to go off of, the first couple weeks of November are actually where I spend most of my money at Target vs. regular Black Friday.

I can’t guarantee this year will be the same, but it is worth paying extra close attention to.

Expect other retailers to also jump in on the fun, with random Walmart price drops, Amazon price matches, Macy’s late night sales, and Kohl’s random restocks of retiring LEGO.

Don’t forget the lesser-mentioned retailers as well! Places like Five Below, Gamestop, and others become much more viable during the holidays due to increased demand, even if their inventory remains relatively the same.

Anyways, onto the point of the article today - final Q4 quick tips and reminders.

There will be a lot of repetition here from previous articles, but we have spent all year doing the research, learning the toy lines, and investing - now it’s time to just simply put it into action and pay attention.
