Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

I know this is the Walmart Clearance Thread but was at my local Sams Club and found some clearance stuff

Most Notable  Smash Bros Switch  24.91

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3  Switch $29.91

Think one of the Zelda's was on clearance but couldn't find any tags.

Double post, sorry.
It depends on the title. The Mario golf game and I think skyward sword got the discount. Garage builder did not get a discount. I was surprised to see Hades for switch for 29.99 at Walmart. I thought msrp was 34.99. wario will probably get the discount if I was a betting man
 
Does Walmart still do $10 discounts on Switch games? The new WarioWare is gonna retail for $50, but I'd love to head to Walmart and get it for $40.
They do, but the cheaper the game the smaller the discount. Like Miitopia for example was like $41.94 or something like that. So probably about $42 would be expected for Wario.

Zelda BOTW was $28.xx at the stores that had it on clearance. Mario party, mario maker 2, pokemon sword, pokemon shield, and pro controllers are also on clearance. Games were about 29.xx and the pro controller was $35. Joycons were on clearance as well but they were probably cleared out awhile ago.

Same at my Sam's Club. There weren't any signs up so I had to walk by the cage to see what they had and then ask an employee to scan prices. I got MUA3 for $30, 2x Pro Controllers for $35 ea, and 3x red/blue joy-cons for $40 ea. The extra controllers went to my brother's and sister's houses.

Other games I saw in the cage include Mario Maker 2 and Zelda Link's Awakening. Sam's Club thread: https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/373156-sams-club-nintendo-accessory-clearance-ymmv/

Watching for about 10 former display laptops prices to drop at my local walmart, unfortantely the store manager comes back next monday from vacation and i'm told that she's the only one that can speak to home office to request an "Allowance" to drop the prices of those former displays.

The laptops are just sitting in a stack in that island in the middle of electronics, maybe your store has some old display laptops on clearance too. Model numbers coming soon....there's Lenovo, Gateway, HP, ASUS, & Samsung

 
I wouldn't be surprised if the gateway was the ones that were on clearance for around 249 and 279 earlier this year iirc.  I have one I'm using currently and it works well enough.  The only negative was it has like 13-14gb for the hard drive. 

 
Funny anecdote: some Walmarts are still not giving out change for cash, so if you buy some $0.03 games with an actual dollar, they will give you that dollar back and the games for free. Profit margins just went undefined!  O:)

I thought change was back flowing again until I went to a casino late last month and they weren't giving out change.

 
Thanks, I’m not a brickseek expert, but from what I can tell they are all sold out near me. Too bad, that could have gotten me in a Walmart.
I went the morning they dropped, my store had two… but they were gone (assuming put back for associates) … ‍♂

I would have loved to get one for the 39.99 it dropped to locally, or $75 it dropped to not far away.
 
New clearance for the past 2 or so weeks that we found. No gaming clearance but a lot of toy clearance. New mod and products coming out for the holiday season so many items are going for up to 90% off. I wouldn't go out searching for these unless you know they are at your local stores though.

Oh my god I have been waiting for the Ryans World Giant Egg Surprise S5 to hit clearance.  Wonder what I will get??  Maybe it's a new dad!

nah, his parents will have used up all the money by the time he’s old enough to access it. Or they’ll pull a Britney.
That's assuming he is even getting that much money. Depending on contracts, agents and such he could end up only getting paid for some things and not others. Like how all of the actresses for Dora the explorer were not paid for promotional content, public appearances and such.

 
No idea what people are using now as last month I think they updated the app and it derped up the scanner feature.
My Walmart also got rid of the in-store scanners. I asked an employee and he said I can use the Walmart app to scan things. I could barely figure it out, but when I was scanning things it wanted to add them to my cart, rather than just price scan.

 
Scored the last 2 Lego Art Mickey Mouse sets for $40 each at my store/area. Kinda sad they didn't have any of the others but I love these things

Removing the price scanners has been pretty annoying as I don't have a smart phone and regularly haveto check grocery items that don't have a shelf sticker, are set in the wrong spot, or to confirm the absurdity of NECA repackaging the Big Chap as part of the Alien 40th Anniversary line without the egg or facehugger and charging the same price as the Deluxe version.

See that's weird, my Walmart app updated and still gives me the prices? Also mine has 1 scanner in the entire place (all 3 around me)
 
When you start the Walmart app, there are two options

Pickup & delivery.  If you pick this option then scan in store, it will add items to cart.

Walmart.com.  If you pick this, it will determine which store you are in and give you the in store price.

Which ever option you choose, you can hit start on the bottom left of the app and it will take you back to the home page with both options.

 
The Walmart app is great. Some rural stores I need to use the store wifi which can be slow, but it beats carrying things around the store hoping to find a scanner

If there's anyone in northeast ohio they have that Gateway 14.1'' Notebook 64GB - $89 for 139 at the mayfield walmart and steelyard one. 

 
Almost found one of the laptops … but of course Walmart’s stocking system was a disaster and no one could even locate where the “in stock” laptops were stored. The CSR was helpful, but the way they stored their electronics was a complete mess. Luckily it was of more interest because I just happened to be there than actually needing a laptop.
 
I found one of the gateways at my local store. Picked it up for homeschool. Hopefully it gets the job done.

It was listed as Limited Stock too. I couldn't believe it was there.
