The earlier article said the kit was viral, described a personal store visit, and claimed the last two were taken from the shelf. Those first-person and scarcity claims were not supported, so they have been removed.
I checked Target’s current site on September 1, 2026. Target’s seasonal value assortment changes quickly, and a missing product page does not prove an item was never sold. It does mean current availability should not be presented as confirmed.
What did the earlier report describe?
The article described a $5 DIY display kit with a glass jar, felt ghost pieces, moss, and a cork-style top. Without a TCIN, DPCI, receipt, or official Target listing, those details should be treated as an unverified description rather than current product specifications.
How do you check Target’s Halloween Dollar Spot?
Use Target’s official Bullseye’s Playground page as the starting point. Target says the section contains $1, $3, and $5 finds and that available items vary by store.
- Set your local store before browsing.
- Check the Fall Decor, Halloween Decor, and Arts, Crafts & DIY sections.
- Look for a TCIN or DPCI before treating a social post as an inventory confirmation.
- Do not make a special trip based only on an unlabeled photo or viral caption.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ghost in a Jar kit currently in stock?
There is no current official product page confirming the exact kit or its inventory. Bullseye’s Playground stock varies by location.
Was it definitely $5?
The older report described a $5 item, which fits Bullseye’s Playground’s published price tiers, but an exact current item number or listing is not available for verification.
Is the image an official Target product photo?
No. It is an editorial illustration retained from the older article and is labeled accordingly.
