‘The Office’ items at Target, 2009

Saturday, July 18th, 2009 | 28 comments

They’re baaaaaack!

For the past two years, we’ve seen Office items in Target’s $1 bins available in September.

Thanks to a tip from Tallyhead Elisabeth, it looks like Target is starting early this year.

Elisabeth saw The Office 3-ring binder (see photo above), not in the $1 section, but in Target’s school supplies section.

I went to my two local Targets (Redwood City and Mountain View) and found these items:

• Wire Bound Theme Book
• Legal Pad 3 pack

Please check out your local Target and report back (with photos if you can)!
