jbdinos Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone that has a local school that uses market day for a fund raiser has an opportunity to buy a great clearance deal on cheesecakes. Our local elementary sells marketday and it is normally expensive. But I go to order online at www.marketday.com and check out the clearance deals available approximately 2 weeks before the orders are due. This month they have confetti cheesecakes that are normally 10.00 marked down to 1.99. On top of that with any order you get mini banana pancakes for free. All you have to do is order online and pick up at your local school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakers1234 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 you got lucky. no such cheesecakes by me... they were still selling pumpkin cookies at 4.99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kselzer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I was suprised by your post because I saw it on the clearance yesterday and figured they must have sold out by now. Not only is it apparently sold out, but I can't even find it on their website anymore. But there are some other goodies in the clearance section. I got a couple strawberry cream pies for $5/each and some bread mixes for $1.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put a bigger listing of clearance items online than they do in the paper fliers the schools give out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is you support a local school instead of the Schwann's shareholders when you do buy. But on the other hand, it's rare that I order things not on clearance. The clearance priced food is still well in date and fresh, just they are either overstocked or discontinuing and you get great deals from the clearance things.

madi5 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 where did you find the clearance section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbdinos Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 where did you find the clearance section I always see it on the right hand side after I log in. You may have to pick a school and a user name in order to see it. I never thought about it till you mentioned it. But it doesn't cost anything to get a username and there isn't any big deal made about ordering, I think I get an email once a month reminding me of the order deadline is all.

bargaingal2 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 bummer mine does have any left. I did get one last month yummy! for like $4.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargaingal2 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Actually I order from them as their meat is no more than the store and their chicken is wonderful! Each breast comes in its own pack and no fat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjlambert4 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I was going to look at the pricing for several items, but I can't. There is no school within 25 miles (maximum radius given) of my location having a sale. I can't even register! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured the web clearance was the same across the country. I agree that some items are pricey, but other prices are comparable or cheaper than grocery stores. Plus you're helping out the schools. I always check the clearance the day it goes up to get the best availability. Once you register it will tell you if clearance is available (you can click on the clearance link) or if it's not available it will tell you the date it will be available. Their cheese pizzas, cheese raviolis, chicken tenders, & diced chicken are great deals, especially when they go on sale, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionlee Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Empty clearence section for my schools. I actually worked for the distributor for our school for awhile and I never saw customers getting clearence. They would offer special closeouts to the reps every once in awhile, but not at near the discount you all are getting items at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahs_momma Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Anyone want to give a zip code so for those not near a school doing this we can help your school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpaaso Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Sadly our school is going toward only healthy food or non food fund raisers. Can you believe it? I'll pass this on to our church's youth group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imjen2 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 If you've never tried Market Day's vegetables, they are really THE BEST!! Their broccoli is far better than any premium broccoli I can buy in the grocery store... it is all florets and is VERY fresh tasting. I also like the peas and the California mix. The asparagus is a little pricey, but it is delicious, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
