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 need a POP at that price

Can anyone else confirm. PoP for PS5 is $10 nationwide like the other list of games. I found one store out of the ten nearest Walmarts who actually has stock. They told me it’s tagged $19.93 when I called, I doubt they scanned it.

Most stores I visited in the last week did NOT game updated price tags which is why they still had stock of these clearance games.

The stores I tried that had all the other games for the prices most have found did NOT have PoP for $10. Sounds like maybe it was just that one lucky poster’s store.

I agree. I went to that store tonight and PoP for PS5 was in the value game section and not with the current games in the locked cabinet. It was tagged $19.93.

found Sand Land ($20), Alone in the Dark and Pacific Drive ($15 each) at a KC, Mo Walmart, kinda shocked they were still there as it is a really busy store. PoP was $19.93, Banishers was $30. all ps5
 
grabbed pacific drive deluxe ps5 for $15

they had sandland ps5 for $20 now but held off- I know its made by Ilca and based on anime, but can anyone provide any more insight? has it been worth the $20?
 
Noticed the following drops at my local WalMart this morning:

Switch
Sonic Frontiers $15

PS5
Stray $15
Saints Row $15.00
Far Cry 6 $14.94 (Same price for PS4 version)

PS4
Far Cry Primal $14.94
Assassins Creed Valhalla $14.94
 
Lol MK1 on switch is a crime definitely at that price when it's $24 on ps5 sale right now. That Sh need to be buried where the ET games are buried.

is the game that bad? I just got the ‘premium‘ edition new for $50 due to a store price error.

I own MK11 ultimate and know how they always come out with the “real” edition after a year or two. That’s why I’m debating on return this premium edition even though it was $50.
 
was able to pick up stray ps5 and pacific drive ps5 for $15 each. their new switch display is awful as the shelf tag doesn't scan with the Walmart app
 
MK1 likely complete version is out next year!
IDK about that, they said they gonna support the game for long time longer then mk11. Could the complete edition be end of the next year maybe but by there words it could be the real complete edition being 2026.

The switch version was horrible graphic wise it was a abomination with horrible loading. They said they was going to fix it but IDK. I just he switch version is the wrong version to get of the game thats for sure.

the shelf tags here have qr codes on them now. you would think the qr codes would lead you to something about the item, but nope, literally just opens the wal mart app.

I should have stated I bought the PS5 version. Don’t own a switch.

They fixed the Switch version as much as they could. It's still an ugly mess of a game though. I rented it recently and was not impressed. The videos from when it launched are atrocious.

The ps5 version is good, no problems.

There no fully fixing that mess. Any power heavy game like that needs to be bought on ps5/xbox/Pc matter fact stay off the switch honestly that's like scam imo.
 
At least they tried to make MK1 work on the Switch, the pc port is so horribly optimized systems that could run MK11 on max (like mine) can't even run it on minimum settings as well as the Switch does.
 
Final Fantasy XVI PS5 $24.88
Assassin's Creed Mirage PS5 $19.97
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora PS5 $19.97

My Walmart still has Super Mario RPG and Kirby Return to Dreamland at full price.

YMMV on all these. Went to the only store in town yesterday and all the "on sale" Switch games rang up full price when the QR codes were scanned with the app. My store just got done with a major remodel so I'm apt to believe everything is actually priced correctly for once.

This store is small and doesn't even get a good selection of games. For example, my store only got the newest Prince of Persia game on Switch. The other 2 console were completely ignored. Stuff like that happens a lot. And as an Xbox guy, this hurts the most as it's the least likely platform to get new games, unless they are bound to be big sellers. (And then we get about 50 copies of the game which take up 2 or 3 game slots and sit for a few years until they are clearanced out. Looking at you COD and EA Sports games!) The store usually doesn't get restocks either. Once a games sells out, there's a hole on the shelf until it gets replaced with a different game. If a new planogram comes out and has that game on it still? The hole still remains. This problem could be solved if the warehouse would adjust their inventory forecast and ship more than 5 copies of a game and less copies of the overstocked perpetual yearly shelf warmers.
 
:ps5: Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League $20
:ps5: Stray $15
:xb1: Starfield Premium Upgrade (code with Steelbook) $20

My walmart also had Forspoken PS5 for $10, I picked one up. They also had Hogwarts Legacy PS4 for $25. Looks like all the games that were $20 and below were marked down another couple dollars.
 
The latest switch drops are making their way to the San Antonio area. $30 a piece.

Super Mario RPG
Mario Golf Super Rush
Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe

Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Xbox/PC controller $59
Hogwarts Legacy PS4/PS5 $25/$40
 
I can vouch for many of the recent posts and pricing. Saw the same such as forspoken. Also finally found Aliens fireteam PS5 for $10 and banishers for $30.

overall over a couple weeks I visited about 8 stores. Lies of Pi was only in one store, Banishers in just one store, and Aliens fireteam. Pacific Drive and alone in the dark was found in 2 of 8, and sand land was the most common. All PS5 games.
