CarpeDiem Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Our walmart still actually has stuff from last BF and xmas clearance! I had been watching a transformer that in almost a year only dropped like $10 most of their "clearance" was like $1 off They had like 3 isles still of stuff So it makes me wonder how great their bf will be. Anyone else's walmart like this? makes ya scratch your head.
wyntyrose Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Wal-mart clearance is always bad, and those darn Garth Brook CD's they still have them
disneynutangie Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I have been looking at a scrapbook item that has been at the same clearance price going on 3 years. They have 20 of them left probably. They have such crap in the clearance department and just recently added another aisle just outside of the garden department. Several years back I gots lots of cheap things but not anymore. It all has been sitting on the shelves since then.
Miss Star Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 My Walmart will have something out for a week and then it's gone for good or moved to another hidden section and stays there for 4 months. They never leave it where it originally was for very long.
genoandkiddo Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 You know it is funny you bring that up. In light of the "legal action", I myself was pondering the semi-same question. Last year Wal-mart's ad was posted early, almost three weeks early. They had some awesome deals. But the year before they only had a few good things and they threatened legal action. It does make you wonder if hmmmmm is it going to be the same this year or are they going to have super deals and don't want anyone to see them.
iloveblkfriday Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 most of our clearance was left out side in rain then when brought back in it was damaged and most boxes torn and smashed such as toys and was still not marked down most was on sale for maybe 0.50-1.00 of org. price
Gporter34 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Our WalMart still has a whole endcap full of the small vacuums from last year.LOL They finally got rid of the last Garth Brooks sets when they went down to $5!
hpowers Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I noticed they have brought the old clearance stuff back in at our stores too. Someone will buy it but not me.
jaymacfla Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Wal-mart clearance is always bad, and those darn Garth Brook CD's they still have themI heard that they are bringing out three Garth Brooks sets this year, as they are redistributing unsold stock from the last two years, and adding them to the new album special that he is producing in conjunction with walmart. This trilogy will be aptly titled, "Sam and Garth, The final Insult":razz:
jellybean051901 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 The clearance stuff at our WM is trashed. Most of the boxes are covered in tape from repairs and looks like someone got it out of the garbage

merryann38 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 You know, I haven't been shopping at Walmart much lately, so I hadn't paid too close attention, but now that you mention it, their clearance prices stink lately. Years past, I could get some great deals. Jusst this past week I stopped in for something and couldn't resist the 4 aisles of clearance stuff. And it seemed like they still had clearance in every dept. None of it was worth buying (heavy shelf wear and ripped packages) and the prices remained high. I've decided to forego any Chinese-made toys this year, which means I'll be shopping in specialty stores. But in support of this board (which I've haunted for years) I'll make sure to do the remainder of my Christmas shopping elsewhere. There are just too many other retailers that love customers for me to tolerate Walmart's attitude anymore.
soapsuds Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I'm curious. What are the bathrobes that people keep mentioning? I guess I missed that lastyear!
soapsuds Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 They still have 4th of July nakpins marked down to....$1.27!!! I live in a smaller town and Wally world is the only big box store here.
jaymacfla Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 LMFAO I resemble that remark, we have every Garthzilla CD ever made..... my hubby is a nut for him! I feel a personal phone call from wally world coming in......
Kima Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 originally posted by JENILYN "I resemble that remark, we have every Garthzilla CD ever made..... my hubby is a nut for him! " That sounds like us too. i was planning on buying the new garth cd, would I do better to wait until BF?
jaymacfla Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Contrary to popular belief, I am not a Garth hater. Enough is enough on the walmart specials though! Another fun thing to do might be a, "Fun things to do or make out of a Garth Brooks CD" thread.
Jeanne515 Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 We have good clearance occasionally. I bought Crayola paint sprayers orig 14.88 for $2 about a month ago. They also have Camcorder cases with 3 JVC miniDV tapes for $6 orig 19.88. I have bought all of these because those miniDV tapes are alot higher than $6. I have no idea what to do with all those camera cases though.
Guest online_assistan Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I am with you all about Walmart clearance. I would find the most AWESOME deals and now the whole garden center is FULL of weird broken clearance items. I really never thought anything of this until this forum thread. I have now switched completely over to Target clearance and I find something new and interesting everyday there. Slowly my walmart obsession is going away (cept for after holiday clearance).
CarpeDiem Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 They had the kids dora and turtle tv's yesterday for $69 still!
coleman4905 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Wal-mart clearance is always bad, and those darn Garth Brook CD's they still have them omg i've seen them too,..2 years in a row and their still on the floor at our walmart,..hahaha someone please buy them so i dont have to look at them anymore...please!!!
Just Me Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I picked up the crayola cutter kit thing normally $20 - $25 for $7 last week that wasn't to bad. It was on the shelf said $7 but rang as $20. I dragged them back showed them the tag and got the right price
leefamily23 Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 We have literally no real clearance at either store. There is 1/2 an aisle at each-- and those items are the same one's that have been there for months and months-- there are a few things that are at least going on 1yr sitting on the shelf. Then again our Target never get's the good clearance deal's you hear about on here either. My stores must ship to somewhere else.
