msharpsteen Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Branson MO is 75% off Christmas and they were bringing out flatbeds full of more stuff the entire time I was shopping-seemed to be mostly ornaments. I was surprised to find tons of LED lights and yard decor. That stuff goes quick around here. Came back home to Springfield to find it still 50% off, but still lots of stuff and the girl that checked me out said they still have a lot in the back as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we go 75% tomorrow. By the way-sorry if all the stashed foil and ziploc bags was one of you guys...I've really scored the last few days finding slightly hidden paper goods...

amyers12345 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 msharpsteen- they weren't mine!! I was there last night (SPFD) and they had a lot left. Let's hope it stays that way. Thanks for the info. I guess I should call the lake to see what they are at. Because Branson went a day early, that means we have two days of 90%!!

amyers12345 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I always find good stuff at the Kirkwood store! I picked up some 'Emergency Ponchos' for 50¢ at Spfd last night. They were half off. I should have bought more- DH laughed at me, but trust me, we've needed emergency ponchos before! They are in the camping gear.

They are in the camping gear.I usually like Kirkwood, but last month I was in there and it was just trashed! We stay in Chesterfield and I usually do pretty well there. I also always run in to the Brentwood store when we make a Trader Joe's stop before heading home. Were there more of the ponchos? I like to keep them in the car for pop up showers at the soccer fields! We're watching those twin blow-up beds-they had a ton yesterday morning, so I'm hoping to get them at least half off.

amyers12345 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 They had tons of the ponchos in baskets in the camping stuff. We bought 2 of the airbeds last night. I didn't know if they would still be there and we needed them. The kids spent part of their Christmas $$ on them. They are one of their favorite gifts!

lovetoshopCA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Last year I went to get a tree and waited until it was 75% off. All of the stores were out except one, but they were still only 50% off. I was told by a manager that they have to wait until they only have a certain amount of holiday inventory left. I'm not sure how much truth was in that, but the next day I got my tree at 75% off!Actually, it seems that all the stores that went early had large amounts left over. Seems more like they mark it down faster if they have a lot more to unload. Around here the stores are practically barren. No bows to be found, which is about all I wanted to get at 75%.

txsupermom Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I haven't seen any hand soap, dishwasher tabs, kids toothpaste, garbage bags or any of the other great finds spotted last year. Are they out there? Last year I remember some of us were lucky enough to find the dishwasher tabs (the ones with the penguins on them). I didn't have to buy any for months and was hoping for the same run of luck, but I never spotted them before the 25th, so not sure companies were even doing the holiday themed items anymore. Found the tissues, but that's it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britt5116 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Let me just go ahead and say now that if anybody finds the Spike the Dinosaur (green or red) on clearance for 50% off or more, I would appreciate you picking it up for me. I will pay for it and shipping. Our store doesn't seem to have any left already. I am willing to be on the lookout for any toys others want as well. I found a few last year and passed them on to my gottadeal friends. It worked out great!There are quite a few spikes at one store in my area. I will let you know if i find one at 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinder Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 75% off here in Alaska. They have 8 aisles full of stuff left!!Were you at the South Anchorage store? I went to the Muldoon store the other day and it was looking pretty picked over. I figured they wouldn't go until tomorrow. I'll be there tomorrow morning bright and early :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the tissues, but that's it. Thoughts?I think those items go fairly quickly. We got there on the 26th about 10:30 am, and snagged the last of the ziploc bags, containers and hand soap. Didn't see any garbage bags or dishwasher tabs. Went to two stores on the 27th and there was only tissues left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbarginhunter Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I was able to grab the hand soap, trash bags, ziplocs, dish soap etc only because I was at the store at 7am on the 26th. There wasn't much left and by the time I left they were all gone. I think they stores had a LOT less stock this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Kids4Me Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) ###The store here had girls winter puffer coats for 50% off today (well one was a fashion plaid bomber, the other a printed puffer coat according to the tags) , as well as the nice waterproof girls gloves at 50% off. I bought two winter coats for my girls to play in the snow for $17.48, originally $34.99. Gloves were 2.48, marked down from 4.99. The tag says they are ski gloves.

I haven't checked our Walmart yet, but typically speaking they are AWFUL about clearancing things. It's marked down like a dollar or two and stays that way for a year...

nikol0304 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 He was 59.50, maybe Target will have it cheaper?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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the tissues, but that's it. Thoughts?They did not have the dishwasher tabs. I haven't seen the trash bags for a couple of years. They did have regular hand dish soap, but I still have some from 3 years ago! I did get the softsoap hand soap. They still have some of the cinnamon scent (red) ones at a few stores. Check the regular aisle. It rang up full price the first day, but got marked down on day 2. I managed to get Ziploc bags and LOADS of aluminum foil. I wish I had gotten more of the nonstick foil as I use more of that than the regular, but I got some of both. I had coupons on both the foil & ziplocs, so I was happy.

amyers12345 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I got trash bags last year, but there weren't any this year. IIRC, they were marked down a day later than the other stuff. They were vanilla scented Glad ones with penguins on them. I just ran out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
