Toys N Bricks is reporting on some great deals at K-Mart and Target stores. K-Mart seems to be the most impressive, if true. It seems that several select sets are marked at $3.00 USD, which amount to significant savings.
Target's select deals amount to 50% off, which is nothing to sneeze at. You can also hit the Valentines Day aisle and see if the Series 3 Collectible Minifigures are on sale.
It sounds like the key at both stores is to find a 'price checker' scanner that are placed throughout the store. Check the item there, because it may not reflect these prices on the shelf.

UPDATE: A quick trip to K-Mart and $3 later, I can confirm that the K-Mart deals were spot on. My store only had the Power Miners set, but now I finally have some silver PM armor and a rock monster!
Target didn't fare as well. I ran the Prince of Persia 'Battle of Almut' at the aisle scanner and...full listed price. Perhaps others had more luck than I but it looks like this one might be 'busted'. As we say in statistics, this is only an 'N' of one, so check your store just in case.
I did see a nice space for the Series 3 Collectible Minifigures in the Valentines aisle, so they are indeed coming. No other slots were seen for the three new polybags that Brickset unearthed, however.
