shay_n_sc Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 3 of the stores we checked were 75% off yesterday (all signed at 50% off tho). Got a Barbie Dinner Date set (doll, table w/ 2 chairs) for $5, Soft pretzel maker $5, RCA 13.3 tv/dvd combo $37, boxed screwdriver/socket set $3.25, boxed corkscrew and bottle stopper set $3.25. I didn't buy the Ipod speaker tower $25 or the Discovery castle or playhouse $5. Minnie Mouse plush with a matching dress for the little girl $5, remote control cars $5. Other sites are reporting microwaves, cotton candy machines, 3 pc luggage sets, pie makers and camcorders are also 75% off. Most fragrance sets are 50% off.
freesia39 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I need to go again and see if I can find ornaments from three years ago.
tinkrbel Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I stopped by this morning and they had misc. stuff at 75%. lots of red/white stockings with glitter pen/marker for .99. Do they ever go 90%? I want a red/white stocking not paying a buck for it:P

I want a red/white stocking not paying a buck for it:PMy CVS has gone 90% in the past, but I really don't remember when. I just happened upon something 90% one time.
freesia39 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My CVS has gone 90% in the past, but I really don't remember when. I just happened upon something 90% one time.I think it might be this weekend or else next week. It takes them forever.
txsupermom Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 My CVS hasn't gone to 90% on seasonal in over a year. 75% is the lowest it will go and then it stays on the shelf about one week before being boxed up. That's one of the reasons I don't shop there as often as I used to. During the summer clearances, I would buy the entire department (exaggeration, but seemed like it;)) for the following swim season and I sooo looked forward to buying all my pool toys/towels for 90% off. I think 2011 was the last time I got to do that and each holiday since then clearance has only gone down to 75%. If anyone sees it go 90% I would make the run to check. So love moving that decimal one place to the left!!
AndreaInNC Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I need to go again and see if I can find ornaments from three years ago.omg .. that WAS FUNNY! I remember that from last year!
shay_n_sc Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 One lady had 3 carts full plus all the jewelry boxes and Discovery cardboard castles and rockets piled up on the floor! She was taking everything! I managed to get a wooden jumbo train set, 4 boxed bathrobes and an electronic dart board. Went to another store because I'm looking for a microwave and was telling another customer about the lady, she described her and said she just cleaned out another CVS up the street. Not sure if she's reselling at the flea market but who needs all of that stuff! One lady asked if there were anymore train sets and she said no. She could have offered the lady one - she had about 10 of them!
Liz79 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Yea CVS stopped the 90% clearance. I work there. After 75% we box it up.
bugsette Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 oh my 3 carts!!!!! sorry that's way too much for one person I bet she was going to resale
crimsonfanz Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 If she isn't doing resale - we might see her on "Hoarders" next year!
freesia39 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Oh CVS, you never disappoint. It's only from last year though: http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p325/freesia39/IMG_1666_zps24a7def4.jpg The one on the left is for 2011, the one on the right is 2012. http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p325/freesia39/IMG_1665_zpsa89cca92.jpg Scanned the price, the 2011 first christmas came up full price, the teacher one was 75% off
freesia39 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Allright, I just checked last year's thread. It looks like it went to 90% on the 16th/17th last year, so maybe middle of next week. IF they even go. There was stuff I'd buy at 90% but not at 75%, like gift bags.
HansieDZ Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I got $14 Extrabucks! That doubling really helped!
shay_n_sc Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 I went to a different store yesterday. Its still 75% off but I found the crockpots - think they were $7.xx. I only bought one, since they aren't signed and in a different section I'll wait and see if they make it to 90% off.
freesia39 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I checked today. GUESS WHAT I FOUND. Yes, the same 2009 ornament I found from 2011. Still 75%. The stuff is starting to dwindle.
Marcia K. Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I really found quite a bit of great deals at the 75% off. 3 microwaves @14.99 ea. , 3 Camcorders @ 7.xx each, and todays find was 2 DVD players for $7.99 each. There are still deals to be had. Candy is still 50% here. Each time I pass a CVS, I run in because my sister in law is waiting for Hershey's kisses to go to 75% to use them as part of give aways for a big party.

shay_n_sc Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 What are the details on the crockpots??I think the brand is Rival and the regular price is $29.99.
mabennett Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 where are you finding your stuff? ours used to have an endcap. now i don't know where the stuff is located?
KC-Traderbear Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 where are you finding your stuff? ours used to have an endcap. now i don't know where the stuff is located?I've noticed at more and more stores, they seem to just be marking stuff down in the regular aisles and using a little 75% off shelf tag instead of moving stuff to the end caps. Don't know if that was just temporary during the holidays or if it will be ongoing.
AndreaInNC Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 our store does the tags on the normal shelve. They used to have the end shelves too - but dont anymore.
