  1. Weird!  I went to 4 stores today and each one had different markdowns.  For example, the first 3 stores had the red powerwheel car at 50% and the last store had it marked to 70%.  I got 2 Monster High sets at the first store (70%) that were still full price at store #2, 70% at store 3, (but $1 cheaper?!?), and one was full-price one was 70% at store #4.  I found shoes I liked for 70% at one store, but in the wrong size.  Another store had the right size, but was only 50%.  I needed to pick up some groceries, but I waited until I got to store #3 for that.  I saw the sign for a $5 GG wyb 3 boxes of cereal at store #2, but store #3 didn't have the same deal (neither did store #4).  I suspect that some of the differences were just missed items, but I've never seen so many differences between stores.

     

    I did find a lot of good deals at 70%:

    Hot Wheels Triple Track Twister $13.xx

    Transformer small 2-packs (Transformer and dinosaur) $2.98

    Let's Play? (that's what the receipt says, there was no box or upc) "Lego"ish storage box, yellow with a green & blue baseplate on top $5.40

    Nerf Darts, 12? pack 1.48

    Flywheels $2.98

    Monster High doll (Ghoul's Alive Clawdeen) $6ish

    Monster High Scaris Cafe 5.98

    Monster High Create-a-Monster sets $3.28

     

    Girls Cherokee jeans $4.48

    Girls Velour pants $3.88

    Various slippers, shoes, and boots 2.98-8.98

    Embark water bottles 1.78-2.38 (sporting goods)

    Tie-Dye kit $5.38 (stationary dept.)

     

    and at 50% (19.98): a telescope.  I have no idea if it's any good, but all 3 of my kids wanted one for Christmas and I only saw 2 of them at 1 store so I got it.

  2. Olney, Illinois (Southeastern part of the state) had their deals in store. Just got back with Disney Infinity for $37. There weren't any on the shelf, but I asked and they had two in the back!My store doesn't have the right Nerf Rebelle gun though.

    I found the Nerf Rebelle gun in the front of my store, where the Halloween Costumes were a few weeks ago.  It might be worth looking if you can't find any in your toy dept.

  3. The sale is live now!  We were notified this morning that the sale would start at 2:30 today instead of 8am tomorrow.  It looks like there is a lot more in the online sale than the in-store sale.  The in-store sale is PS4 and XBOX One video games and Skylanders and Infinity sets in electronics and one tv.  I'm not sure about toys though since I don't work in that department.

    Can anyone else confirm?  Is this all stores?

  4. Tiny print on the bottom of ad says "Prices not valid in Wisconsin". That stinks.

    In my experience, SOME prices are not available in Wisconsin.  WI and a few other states have minimum markup laws that prohibit some items being sold at the nationally advertised price.  The only items I have personally had trouble with were super-cheap DVDs.  They were still available in my store, but at a higher price.

     

    Not sure if this is and option for you, but I was able to get around it by ordering (my account, my WI information) and having them shipped to my mom in IL.  Cheating?  Perhaps, but they were gifts for someone in who lives in IL, so they never crossed the border.  Blurry line.

  5. If I had any spare cash I'd consider lining up for the cheap 50".

     

    It looks like I'll be website stalking - hoping to order cheap dolls, movies, and video games.  Maybe I'll show up around 10 pm and dig through the scraps.

  6. Didn't we have this same discussion last year?  Unless something changed with the price match policy, you should be able to price match TRU at Walmart during the active sale hours.  I am considering trying to match TRU's skylanders price at WM Thursday night.  (Assuming all of Walmart's Skaylanders are not wrapped up in black plastic on a pallet somewhere.)

     

    What you cannot do is buy a Skylanders set from Walmart on Monday, then return to Walmart with the receipt and TRU ad on Thursday night and get the difference refunded.

  7. You don't really need the loom to make stuff.  My kids got some rubber band packs at Five Below (3 packs for $5) and loop them over pencils to make the fishtail bracelets.  Before they learned how to make the fishtail ones they just strung them together one at a time.  They haven't asked for a loom, yet.

     

     

    Does anyone know if you can use a 40% off coupon on the Rainbow Looms at JoAnn's?  Michael's had a "no coupons on this item" sign, even though they were full price.
