I will post several of the toys that I've found an abundance of...so more likely that they'll also be at a store near you. I can't recall the exact prices so I won't try, but these are of course the items they are marking down 30, 50, & 75%. My Toon Tv random Imaginext toys lots of My Little Pony stuff lots of Magic Reveal stuff lots of little Secret Saturday action figures lots of those Kai Lan? thingamajigs Furreal Pets (mostly the elephant, a few dogs, and some cats) lots of Christmas Story train sets Handy Manny Workbench lots of riding toys /toddler toys (didn't pay much attention to specifics since we've got enough of that junk) That's about everything I can think of off the top of my head. Hope it helps!

Yea...WM has been a disappointment for me too. Hardly any clearance toys and they can't be more than 30% off. Christmas clearance was almost nonexistent today but they did have about half an isle left. Made a huge announcement that nothing in holiday clearance would be more than $1. Had signs too. So excitedly ran over and picked up about 8 things. Get to the register and they all ring up OVER $1 but they were 75% off. I was pissed. So I was only paying a couple dollars more, but still. If they are advertising nothing over $1 they should at least mark the items to represent that. I love WM, but will certainly be doing my clearance shopping at Target from now on.

Yea it is nice to have someone else in the area! I've been to the Arlington one, Wadsworth one, and the Belden one. And just like you, I haven't seen ONE of these other goodies everyone keeps talking about...the tape, oreos, pjs...nothing. Waiting for toys to go 75% off hopefully next week. I found the Wadsworth one had a nice selection of toys left as of last Saturday, but I haven't been since and didn't buy anything since it was still only 30%. The Belden one had ONE Spike left, and if it is still hanging around at 75% I'm gonna be mad. lol.. Because I just picked it up at WM thinking there wouldn't be ANY left at Target at 75%...and I got it for 59.50. Although if it is still there, I may just consider getting it too for my littlest who will be 26 mos. next Christmas since I'm sure he'll be wanting his big brothers. But I did see that had a ton of those My Toon Tv things left. At 75% they'll be 10 bucks. Hoping to pick a couple of those up. Haven't been to the Arlington one in about a week. Did they have a decent selection left?

Wait wait...I went to the Target in Belden this morning and they were JUST marking some of the toys down to 50% at 11am. Which ones did you go to??

Yea...tell me about it. LOL. I can only do 3 inches. That's about it.

Damn. I assume those Playskool coupons aren't available anymore? I printed off a couple, used one...and threw the sit n spin one away since my local store didn't have it. Figured I didn't need it that bad... But now I'm wishing I hadn't. I tried to get the coupons again, but it wasn't showing any available.

They sell mainly clubwear...and while I wouldn't wear half of the stuff they sell, you CANNOT beat the prices on their boots. They have hundreds of boots and clothing up to 80% off right now and use code NEWYEAR30 for 30% off your entire order. Shipping is a bit high but I find the 30% more than covers it. If your in need of some new boots, I HIGHLY suggest checking them out. I've ordered from them several times and they are pretty good quality. LINK

Yep its expired.

Don't worry I have bargain-hunting nightmares myself....lol. But anyways, I know what you mean about the markdowns. After calling every Target in my area last night, every single person told me they didn't know. But one nice lady explained that they don't tell employees because they don't want them telling family/friends...blah blah blah...but isn't the point of marking down toys to get them out of there anyways? lol...got me. But yea. It is annoying.

That, to me, is a bit confusing. Why is that? You would think that they would accept anything they could get, especially considering people are more apt to go buy a blanket from a store than to handmake one?

YES! Thanks to whoever suggested Walmart! Your post inspired me to call around even MORE walmarts tonight and I found one 15 miles away that has THREE left at $59.50!! SOOOO psyched. Love this site! This just made my month!!

It'll even scan lower than the sticker price? Well, either way, the Targets I've called have told me he's 90.xx in their system...so I doubt if it'd scan lower. But one guy did tell me they'd be going to 50% in a "few days." Couldn't tell me when exactly apparently. lol...so I guess I have to wait it out and risk that ONE single spike they have left.

Grrr....see I have been trying....and the 2 Walmarts I went to didn't have any left, and I've since been calling all over but NOBODY is EVER in TOYS to be able to answer my question. Just typical Walmart practice. No employee ever knows where anything is except for that ONE item they're stacking on the shelves. Guess I'm just going to have to hit up a few more. I would be a VERY happy woman if I could find him for $59.50.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of when most stores' toys will go to 50%? I am desperate to find Spike the dinosaur for less than the 90.xx it is now....but my problem is the pickings are slim. After calling around to about 7 different stores, I only found about 3 stores that have ONE left. Just trying to get a rough idea of when I should go back. Going from store to store on the hunt wouldn't be so difficult without my 2 little ones!

All of our Walmarts are sold out of him too. The only Target I've seen him at....he was the only one left and was only at 30% off.. So...me too!!!! If anyone finds him for around 50-60 bucks, I will gladly buy him off of you as well!

Okay. Awesome. Now just to find a Walmart near me that still has him left in stock on clearance. :-) Thanks.

Wait...are you talking about Spike the dinosaur or a different one? Curious because I haven't heard of one called "Rex" and the prices look to be about the same. Saw Spike at Target for $90.xx but am hoping to get him for lower than that.

Shoot, I'd be happy to find Spike under $75. I'm new to the whole clearance shopping thing but will definitely be on the lookout this year for him. Do you think Target is a better bet? I haven't been yet, but I know my WM had at least a pallet left.

Yea, I'm trying to find him too for under $100 (would be nice) for my 3 year old for next Christmas. I was hoping he would come down quite a bit after Christmas because of the leftover stock. So far no luck it looks like. I know Toysrus had him for $89 a few days ago? I should have picked it up then. :-/

Thanks. And very true about putting them away till he fits into them. I am becoming obsessed with this site. I don't know if I'm spending MORE money because I'm buying so much crap on sale, or if I'm actually saving anything. LOL.

Would these be okay for a 4 year old? I am dying to get a pair since theyre so cheap but my 3 year old won't be 4 until next Nov. I know he'd love them, but I know he's still a bit too young and his coordination probably isn't good enough yet. The smallest size they have is a 13, and since he's rather on the large side for his age, he's already in a size 10. Think a size 13 would be okay for his 4th birthday? TIA for the advice!

Am I the only one whose Target has this advertised as $29.99?
