I just got an email from reader, Daphnie, regarding an awesome clearance deal she was able to score at Target! She found the Baby Alive Simple Care For Me dolls on clearance for just $4.77. Plus, she was able to use the $5/1 coupon found here (will have to be adjusted down) to get a doll for FREE!

If you find this doll at your local Target and it’s not marked, make sure to do a price check and see if it rings up for less. Also, if you’re able to score this deal, make sure to come back and let us know what store location you found the doll at.

(Thanks, Daphnie!)

    AHHHH! I HOPE SO. Going there NOW! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • misty

      i have been to 3 targets in palm beach area….none are on sale…bummer…maybe it will happen before the coupons expire!

      • Rebekah

        The same thing happened to me! I was also bummed about it! That would have been a nice gift!!

    • Courtney

      I went and they were $9.54 so I got it for $4.54 and that was a good enough deal for me.

  2. Nichole

    I’m going later this afternoon to check this out.

  3. Kari H.

    Anyone know what their clearance is at right now? 50% or 75% ????

    • Andrea

      I was there yesterday and everything was 50% off.

      • Jennifer

        I was at Target yesterday and everything was 75% off and going fast! If you have any Planters nuts coupons, be sure to bring those along. I was able to score 2 large cans of Creme Brule Almonds for .74 a can!

        • megan

          are you referring to the holiday clearance or the toy clearance?

    • Amanda

      Christmas stuff was at 75% last night at one of our Targets!

    • Heather

      I was at the one in Canton, GA and the toys were only 30, Christmas 50

      • Susan V

        Same for Colorado Springs yesterday, although dot spot had the pink dot items at 75% off.

      • laura

        Toy clearance sale (goes to 75%) is typically the 3rd thursday after Christmas, although last year it was a week late.

    • Jennifer

      Here in Tallahassee, FL it was 75% off today

    • MommySpendsLess

      Here in Orlando, FL (Hwy 27 & I-4) the seasonal Christmas and pink dot Dollar Spot items were 75% off, including a bunch of non-Christmas board books. I got some red, green and pink striped and circles wrapping paper for $0.50-$0.65 (great for my daughter’s birthday), plain red snack size paper plates for $0.75 and a cute white teddy bear pillow for next Christmas for $2.50. The Bounty snowflake napkins rang up full price and I couldn’t find any holiday Ziplocks or paper towels.

      The toys were still at 30-50% off.

      • Michelle

        Same here, toys were still 30% off at my Targets and holiday was 75% off. I grabbed some cute Disney socks for my kids from the dollar bins for 25c a pair and a big roll of non-holiday specific wrapping paper (for birthdays and what not) for 75c ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. emilytwinmom

    We went to target yesterday and the toy dept was a total disaster – you couldn’t tell what was on clearance and what wasn’t!! We did however score HUGE – we found a hailfire droid star wars remote control vehicle for $24.99, which was marked down from $65.99! My son was super happy to find that and use a gift card from Christmas!

  5. Melissa

    They had them at my Target for $6 and some change when I was there yesterday. (Eastlake area of Chula Vista, Ca)

    • Tianna

      Yay! I live in Eastlake! Thanks! Going tmrw!

  6. Miranda

    wishing I could get to Target to get this great deal-snowed in in the midwest waiting for blizzard #2 to arrive-should be here any minute! Another 12 inches of snow to come with high winds-Yuck…

    • shannon

      where at in the midwest? i’m in iowa but all of our snow is melting. we had some freezing rain earlier today though and its supposed to get nasty again…

      • Sdudle

        Shannon, where at in Iowa? I’m in Iowa too:)

        • shannon

          boone county..ogden to be exact ๐Ÿ™‚ and yourself?

          • Jessica

            Cool Shannon…. my family all live in Boone and Odgen…. woot woot!! Small world! I, however am in Minnesota

        • Rebekah

          I am 5 minutes from Iowa! Where about in IA are you from?

    • Susan V

      Yeah, I’m snowed in too. I don’t drive in this crap–no deal is that good! Hopefully tomorrow will be a lil better since the snow won’t be melting today….Our high is 8!

      • Rachel F.

        We’re in central Nebraska and we had our first snowfall over the night – not much has fallen but our temps are around Zero with high wind gusts. It is miserable to be here in the winter because of the wind! Missing Texas…..

        • Olena Steinmetz

          Rachel are you military? We just moved to Offut from Texas.

          • Rachel F.

            No, my husband is in the ministry (Pastor – he’s doing his year long internship) and we’re in St Louis our other three years for his actual classes!

            • charity

              Hi Rachel,
              My husband and I are getting ready to move to St Louis in a couple of weeks and I am getting nervous that I wont find a good grocery store that is coupon friendly and has great deals. Most of the grocery stores I see there we do not have here in FL. I would love to know if you have any suggestions for a good grocery store in the St. Louis area. Thanks soooo much ๐Ÿ™‚
              Charity

    • Rockin' Momma

      I also wonder where in the Mid West. I’m in southern Indiana and we’re at 65 degrees today!

  7. Sara

    Does anyone know the ASIN/DCPI #?

  8. Dawn

    I called our Target to ask instead of making a trip out there. They were all sold out.

  9. Takako

    Does anyone knows maybe Walmart has same deal? TIA!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      No. Walmart’s was still $25 in Florida anyway.

    • Rockin' Momma

      Here in Southern Indiana they were marked down but not below $10. I think they were like $15

  10. debra

    FYI This is the most ANNOYING Doll ever. Just saying if you miss the deal you are doing yourself a favor. LOL

    • tanya

      i was thinking the same thing. at every store they had shelves of them lined up and when you walked by them all of them would go off! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Jodi

      lol

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I was just going to post the same thing…I saw it for $5 at my walmart before Christmas and I put it in my cart before. I quickly realized that if I bought that doll for anyone their parents would hate me…all it does is bounce up and down and giggle.

    • scain20

      LOL

    • J Cardens Barto

      agreed!!!!! haha

  11. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I will never get my daughter a doll that will rot from the inside out. These kinds of dolls are toy bacteria pits. Disgusting.

    • Aysha

      What do U mean?

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I don’t know about this particular doll, but some baby alive dolls eat food that makes them really pee and poo…therefore causing the inside to rot and mold if not cleaned treally well and often. However, my daughter got another style baby alive that eats “fake” food and does not go potty…just talks and the fake food retracts on the spoon making it look like she ate it. I do not know which this doll is.

        • Laury

          This reminds me of a story that my brother always tells people about the time I fed him the Baby Alive food. It was powdered and you added water to it. My only defense is that I was 8 years old. LOL

    • Daphnie

      I got my daughters the bounce and babble dolls there is no mess…they just bounce up and down and make cute baby noises…my daughters love them.

    • Amanda S

      This doll only bounces when you hold her hands.
      she donesnt eat or anything at all!! sh is soo cute!! My 2year old daughter LOVES Her!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You just have to flush it out with warm water & vinegar, it solves that problem! LOL

      • Rockin' Momma

        We got a baby alive changing time here. It’s not too bad to have to clean them out.

  12. Maureen

    R.E. “I will never get my daughter a doll that will rot from the inside out. These kinds of dolls are toy bacteria pits. Disgusting”

    Oh my….tell us what you really think lol!

    • Mary

      I just have to giggle at this stuff…

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I believe that’s what I did…. :/

  13. Cally

    I just called two different Target locations, one was sold out. The other location had them, but not the price stated…the African American doll was on clearance for $12.something and the caucasian doll was full price.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Still full price in my area too:(

    • Rita Garrity

      Yes my Target had the African American doll for $6.22 and caucasian full price… I asked why they were not all clearance and he said demand…really… I left the coupons on the african american doll and some lady was deciding between the 2 her daughter in cart..I explained the price difference she bought the african america doll ๐Ÿ™‚ .

  14. Amanda

    This is a manufacturer’s coupon that expires on 1/15/11. So you’ve got a little bit of time to look for it. Maybe Wal Mart will have it.

  15. Christine

    With the Hasbro “rebate”, purchase $20 of Hasbro toys and get a toy free (see website), you could get several of these dolls for free and a free toy. If you don’t need that many toys, consider donating to a shelter. All for no cost at all – now that’s smart couponing!

    • Marcee

      Nice way to look at it! Love the giving attitude! I have 4 boys, but thought maybe this would be a fun gift or something. I find them annoying, but giving to a shelter is a great idea!

    • katie

      thank YOU! i didnt know about that, i hope i still have old receipts…. ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Rockin' Momma

        The rebate items I believe have to be bought after Christmas 12/26/10

    • Michelle

      On the bottom of the rebate form it says it cannot be combined with coupons, so its totally worth a shot, but if they see the coupons on the receipt, then they may not send the extra toy.

  16. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I was going to check this deal out until I remembered going to Target shopping for Christmas gifts, heading down the doll isle and ALL these dolls starting going off!! Scared me to death! They have a mind of thier own. I can see my cats setting this off during the night. NO thanks…. lol!!

  17. AmyH

    Our Target was 75% off yesterday… i made a huge haul. I bought party favor gifts for my 4 and 6 year old bday parties coming up. Some of that stuff was like .25-.50! Going to see if they have the doll today!

  18. heather

    all full price at the target in layton,ut. :/ but the christmas stuff is now 75% off. some good deals in there.

    • Kate

      Christmas is 75% off at the Target in Bountiful. I am not buying one roll of wrapping paper until it drops to 90%. The doll was full price and no sign that it will go on sale at all. I wish they had an african american doll, I would have totally snached it up! They had all the pepridge farm cookies on sale for $.84! And I got some for free using coupons from PF website. It will make great snacks!

  19. Sakura

    I went to Target yesterday, and all the signs read 30% off. But I did see a guy who bought 12 of those dolls, so maybe they are priced that low!

    I’ll have to see if their clearance is better today!

  20. Kristin Nicole

    Does anyone have any extra of these coupons? I don’t see any of the coupons on target.com??

    • Nicole

      This coupon is on Hasbro’s site, not Target. Click the link above that Collin posted.

      • Kristin Nicole

        Thanks Nicole! I guess I am not able to follow directions today! One of those days. ๐Ÿ™‚ I appreciate it.

  21. kat.trinee

    Did anyone see the item number?

  22. Steph

    Anyone who has ever walked down an aisle of Baby Alive dolls knows why they’re on clearance! They are cuh-reepy!

  23. Wendy

    Yea, they are ugly. But hey, free is free!

  24. Megan

    I scanned one at my Target and it came up as $24.85 adn the shlf said $19. I didn’t bother asking anyone. I wasn’t going to buy it for myself anyways. I figured if it was free it would be a good toy to snatch up for toy donations next year =)

    Bountiful, Utah

  25. Belinda

    My baby got this doll for christmas n its not annoying at all! Once u swith it to the on position u have to squeeze her hands for her to go off. Its really cute, n no this doll does not eat, pee, or poop. She’s probably clearanced because it was a hot toy for christmas that was overstocked.

  26. Heather

    I just checked the Target in Osage Beach, MO. They had about 10 of them (African-American) for $6.22!

  27. reba

    I couldn’t find them at all at my Target. Which specific Baby Alive is it?

    • MommySpendsLess

      It looks like this coupon should be good on at least a few different dolls. This is from Hasbro’s website:

      “Hasbro’s BABY ALIVE brand delivers realistic baby moments in surprising ways that allow little girls to care for their doll just like a “real” mommy. This year, BABY ALIVE extends its care-giving play to girls of all ages with three different segments: cuddly 1ST FOR ME dolls for girls as young as 18 months; SIMPLE CARE FOR ME dolls for girls ages 3 to 5 to care for; and REAL AS CAN BE dolls that offer life-like nurturing experiences to girls ages 4 to 7. All BABY ALIVE dolls are available in Caucasian, African-American and Hispanic versions, and each is sold separately.”

      The coupon says “ANY (1) Baby Alive Simple Care For Me” dolls so it should work on any of them in that line of products…

      So far it seems like it should work on: “All Gone” and “Bouncin’ Babbles”

  28. mpage

    My Target (Eastern NC) still has them full price–none on clearance. BOO HOOO!

  29. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Lexington, SC still full price =\

  30. gloria

    this would be great for your bday gift closet or to possibly save for Toys for Tots for next year!

    • Megan

      I was thinking the same thing! Save it to donate it =)

  31. kramsdell

    Just so everyone knows you can use this coupon on any baby alive simple care for me doll. Just look for the little heart on the box that says “Simple care for me”, or something like that. I just used one of these coupons for Christmas. Really cute dolls. ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. Caryn

    I’m upset it’s not in Richmond, VA ๐Ÿ™

  33. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Doll is still 24.99 in St. Joseph, MO

  34. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    long shot I am sure–but if anyone finds this for free and doesn’t need it, I would pay for shipping to my house (probably $6-7) because my daughter fell in love with this doll when we were wrapping a bunch of toys to donate to a low income apartment complex, but I was already finished shopping for her for Christmas. Anyway–please email me if you get one free and don’t need it. Thanks.

    • ShAnNoN

      THis sucks! I literally got in the car like 5 min after this post and went straight to target to find that in upstate NY , these dolls are 24.95. POO!

  35. NYCSingleMom

    will have to check it out tommorrow. this was on my daughters xmas list but opted not to get it.

  36. misty

    palm beach florida…not on sale yet! ๐Ÿ™

  37. Donna

    Went to Target today and they only had the black ones on clearance. I asked and they said that they would not honor the clearance price for the white ones. Hmmmm somethings wrong here.

    • Lisa

      They are still full price in Myrtle Beach. The toys are 30% off and Christmas is 75% off.

    • MommySpendsLess

      I’ve noticed that a lot with dolls. Our Walmart had a ton of the Hispanic Baby Alive dolls (I don’t remember if it was this one or not though…) on clearance but not the other races. Try not to be offended, as someone said it’s about supply and demand, no different really than when a certain scent or flavor of a product goes on clearance and the rest of the varieties don’t.

      • Kate

        Why does the race matter? If you wouldn’t buy the African American doll then there’s your answer why one is on sale and the other one isn’t. Supply and demand.

  38. Sondra Muela

    I went to 2 targets in the central valley, California. And one store had not a single baby alive doll there and the second had the caucasian at full price and african american dolls at 30%. Most of the toy department is 15-30% here… but Christmas at one store had 50% and the other 75% so I was able to score some good things for next years christmas.

    • melissa

      where are you in central valley? i am too.. you might save me a trip!

  39. Lisa

    Only the African American dolls are on sale in CT, but they are still $9… The others are $19

  40. Jenny

    I need to add my 2ยข to this…
    Those that found the doll on sale are passing up on it because the doll is African American? WoW!

    • Kate

      I agree!!!

    • kramsdell

      I agree. I bought my daughter an African American doll for Christmas, I don’t see what the problem is. If my Target had any on sale I would take advantage of this deal in a heart beat no matter what the race was.

    • Jessica C

      I agree! I bought one for my daughter today for $2.50, and we’re as pasty white as you come! Who cares? It’s never too early to start teaching tolerance and appreciation.

    • Susan

      I’d buy either one, accept the lowest price I saw was still over $12.50. Not a great bargain yet.

  41. Renee L

    I went into my local Target to look for these dolls. I found the dolls that look like the picture but the name of the doll on the coupon and the one that target actually carries is different. It looks like the exact doll but the names are different. I noticed on the bottom corner of the coupon that it says that the doll is available at walmart. I’m so confused…lol

  42. carolggg

    Hi. Does anyone know if they are offering anymore coupons for the baby alive or the furreal walking puppy that had $5.00 coupons. I went to print and it said print limit was reached already???

  43. Laura

    I just got home from my Target on Power/Ray in Gilbert, AZ. They had the African American dolls for $6.22 and the Caucasian ones for $24.99. I asked if there was a reason, and the toy guy said that it was because there were 15 of the first one in the store and 2 of the other. Makes sense…the one I got looks more like my daughter anyway. But $1.66 is an amazing deal for this doll! I can’t wait to see my daughter’s face when she is bouncing in the Easter Basket in a few months!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank-you!!!!!!!

    • Jodi

      Wow, you are lucky. I went to Superstition Target and they were still $12.xx. Did they have a lot of them left at your location? I may end up running over there to snag a couple for my nieces.

  44. Kim

    The African American doll was priced at $9 and some cents in Altoona, PA. I left the coupon there under one of them for someone to hopefully use. ๐Ÿ™‚ Since I already have one of these dolls for my daugher, I didn’t need another one.

  45. Megan

    Hmmm about 2 days ago I saw a guy loading his big truck with about 3 carts full of these things! I wonder if he got them on sale? Wonder what he was doing with them? Anyways they were all the african american dolls. I am wondering if that is the only one on sale? My store only had the white one’s and they were not on clearane

  46. Megan

    I love that everyone is sharing what area they checked to help everyone out! You coupon ladies rock ๐Ÿ™‚

  47. Sadina

    full price here in st louis
