Some of the things on sale were put out early at my store (because they were low in inventory) and the prices were lower than what they are showing online.

I went today and they had a HUGE selection of things for $5 - sweaters, dresses, pants, tops, polos, shoes (all fall/winter styles). Tights for $1.99, Anorak jackets for $1.99, backpacks were $3.99. Over half the store was on a super sale!

###205-01-1361 Girls Xhiliration Denim Skirt $3.74, 75% Found this SUPER cute skirt for my DD for next year... it had embellished buttons on the sides. I also asked about the toy clearance and the SA rolled her eyes. She said 'Oh it won't be for WEEKS' - yeah okay. I did see alot more marked 50% off than there was last week and they filled a spare aisle with clearance already - so they're starting to move it. Only things I saw at 75% off so far are the Pirates of Caribbean toys and Storm Hawks stuff.

I'm in Northern WV and my Gabes have the Crocs too - also the one in Washington PA. They're having their sidewalk sale right now and the sales clerk I talked to said it would go 50% on Friday and Sunday will be the $15 fill-a-bag. LOVE the sidewalk sales!!! They had some cute Melissa & Doug toys marked $3 today and I plan on buying them out on Friday when they're $1.50!! Today though I picked up a Little Mass skirt for my DD for $2, some toddler buys Guess tees for $1 each, boys Hurley pants for $5 each, boys and girls Guess jeans for $5 each, and toddler boys Sean John jeans for $3 each. I love Gabes!!

At closing everyday Panera Breads will donate all their breads and pastries leftover from that day to whichever charities or non-profits show up. Our MOPS group has a mountain of breads, pastries, and bagels at each meeting all donated by Panera... so some places do do that....

We had a power outage at our local Walmart last fall - they called the local Soup Kitchen and donated HUNDREDS of pounds of meat so it wouldn't go to waste. I did see green stickers on some Hello Kitty sewing machines a little while back, but that's the only time I've seen them. Why would they destroy and throw out some things, but then send others to Goodwill? That makes no sense to me....

You can see your DSR rating by letting your mouse hover over the last star - then your little number shows up. Your feedback percentage rate doesn't matter a bit anymore:( (To ebay that is)

I went today and picked up Carters baby Christmas onesies $.90 each, boys Nike coats were $9, Healthtex toddler pants $2.... oh and boys Converse or Vans sneakers (they were black with silver lettering all over) for $8 a pair. They also had quite a few pairs of toddler shoes for $4.99.

My store went 75% off today too. They had the Mr Potato Head Spiderman spud and Transformers spud included with the easter stuff - rang up $2.48 each :) ETA - over in toys they had marked a Spiderman action figure set 75% off (2.48) and the Deluxe Web Blaster set (4.98)

My store today had nice ceramic pots that came with seeds or bulbs - I think they were the Smith & Hawkins - there were ones for growing herbs, a strawberry one, different lilies, one for a salad mix.... they have been 50% for quite a while now. Which day on the mark down schedule would they fall under?? I'm not sure which dept. that would be exactly...

I found the Esphera puzzles today - thanks for posting that guys :) My store had a good bit of toys marked down to clearance - Hannah Montana stage, Dora Dancemat, Pucci Pups, Baby Alives, Shrek stuff, Bratz, Groovy Girls, etc.

So what percentage off are things coming up for you guys?? I still haven't been able to make it out to the mall.

When looking in th kids section try scanning a few things - twice a year I hit the Sears clearance and things will start scanning at over 90% off and are not marked. I haven't been there lately - guess I need to go.

I went today and they had alot of candles, reed diffuser sets, and potpouri and candle gift sets 75% off - by the stationery. Also wall sconces and candle holders too. Three end caps full at mine...

I went today and they had tons of kids summer stuff out from last season - it was marked 75% off or more and then the additional 50% off. I was getting things as low $.75 (Greendog brand), but they also had Nautica swim trunks, Guess tees and shorts, Calvin Klein tees and shorts, girls and boys 3 piece sets... lots of great deals.
