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

Have any of you spotted any Wii U games on clearance either than Runbow?
Wii games yes. But not wii u. At least not in store.

Did get some good prices for wii u from walmarts clearance on used games. Also received additional savings (discount of about 75 cents per game) for using ship to store.
 
I'm really curious to ask this and with zero sarcasm.

Is this really a thing? I'm able to find switches anywhere, nearly any store, and in various states. Last week a best buy employee nearly begged me to buy one. I was in the gaming department and a blue shirt came up asking if I needed help. I said no thank you, and he whispered to me like some sort of super top secret info "by the way we have switches in stock".
Yes, it is. I haven't seen a switch in a few months now. I'm not actively hunting one, but whenever I pass thru an electronics section I look just because I'm curious if they are becoming more common around here.

 
Mirror's Edge:Catalyst (PS4) were marked down to $1. Grabbed four for Christmas gifts. Guy at the register said they have been marking down the games every couple days.

I overpaid at $16. Still haven't finished it yet...

Was this the same Walmart on transit from my post? I may need to make another trip if stuff is still getting marked down

No. This was from the Wilkes-Barre Township, PA store. For the NEPA CAGs, I saw a copy in a plastic coffin in the budget title racks. There may be more if you search.

At one point i grabbed a copy of Mirror's Edge Catalyst for Xbox one from the walmart on transit for 3.50. It was marked 7 and it was in that 50% off bin they had.

I think they only have ps4 versions currently.
 
Anyone still finding the $35 Chromebooks? I saw "low stock" for 4 stores, but so far struck out. One guy said his scanner showed 0 the other guy said scanner showed 1 but he couldn't find it even after going in the back. Any advice from people who got one, perhaps where the store associate located the computer. The last 2 stores I want to check are a bit farther away...

 
Oops. Thanks for the help though guys, appreciate it! Its showing as limited stock with an quantity of 0... Still might be worth checking out.

Stuff is still definitely getting marked down. I was in there Friday and got Witcher 3 for $3, and the next day I went in and they almost had a whole new section of $1 games available. A bunch of Telltale games like Walking Dead and Borderlands for Xbox One, saw 3DS games like Yokai Watch for $1, and plenty of others.

 
The best thing of value I have gotten at my Walmarts is some Pokemon themed portable chargers which actually last a while for $5 each.

Either all our clearance shit is flying off the shelves due to the store locations, or they just never had any to begin with.

 
Goddamn my Walmart sucks.
This has been the first and only time I have ever found the super low Wally World clearence. I didn't even go looking for video game clearence, I was Lego hunting and swung by the video game section after finding mario kart 8 deluxe guides for $1 in the regular clearence aisle
 
Goddamn my Walmart sucks.
There's only one in my area that clearances stuff stupid low, and it way the hell out of the way 45 minutes away.

The only things I've ever gotten there are Tropico XBO for $3 and Skate 3 360 for $5. They had other stuff that sold out like Carmageddon XBO for $1 and NSMBu/NSLu for $5.

 
Bunch of legos on clearance at my Walmart again. Got Lego batman movie exclusive 2 set pack, batman scarecrow harvest of fear, and lego creator lighthouse set for 21 each. The batman movie one is the only one under 500 pieces. Jestro's headquarters nexo was $35 which is 840 pieces. I bought a couple elf sets that are with the girl legos too (I don't have them in front of me to see which ones they are).

I've had great luck with items being the price specified on BS, but lately I've had horrible luck with finding those items if the stock count is low enough...
Yeah, when I got the aforementioned Tropico they showed 1 of it and 1 of Carmageddon, guy went in the back and found Tropico, but couldn't find Carmageddon.

 
Literally every store in my area is sold out of it. Not sure why Walmart clearance is so utterly shit here, yet we still constantly have awesome Target clearance deals.

I doubt our stuff is getting scalped THAT hard.

 
Found a couple copies of Prison Architect at a local store for $9. Store a couple minutes away has them listed for $5. What are the chances of doing a return rebuy to get them for the $5? Haven't done that before, dunno if it's common. Great price either way!

It's YMMV. Your best bet is to ask to change the form of payment

 
Can you post a receipt if you pick up Peach? It's worth a try since I want one but the WM around me show it at $12.96.

Success with the return rebuy! The CSA didn't even bat an eye when the price was adjusted down to $5 for Prison Architect!

They probably don't have it. My Walmart shows 8 in stock at $12.96 and when I went to check they didn't have any, not even a shelf tag. Had them search by both SKU and UPC and it showed up as 0 in inventory.
 
Zelda Snapback $3-$5

None near me, nice find!
 
Not sure if these were clearance but found Runbow Wii U for $9 and Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster limited edition PS3 for $7.

My Walmart is so good at clearance. [emoji23]
I was honestly shocked. The clearance section was just filled with old games (sealed) and beat-up strategy guides, marked way up.

Example: you can get Quake Wars for $5 on eBay or for $52 at my Walmart. Hmm.

Edit: They also had a game magazine marked at $10, a magazine, I forgot to take a picture of that.

The Walmart I went to has tons of 3DS, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Wii U games but all of them are locked in glass cases with only the spine showing. There's no way to know the prices on any of them unless you ask an employee to take it out the case, take it to the register, and check the price. It's a freakin hassle. Saw the FF X/X-2 LE and had to do that. Surprised it rang up at $7. The Runbow though was was facing cover front and did have a label under it

If you can, get the Walmart app. I scan or search in the app for everything myself now.

A decent amount of summer stuff is on clearance here including boating towables, tow ropes, floats, some pool stuff, grills etc. I can post some upcs if there is any interest. Also, a biometric pistol safe is down to 35 from 70, originally 140 and almost all desktop pcs.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely do that

I say post anything you think is cool. Cheap is cheap!
 
Does this have to be in every thread? Is this a walk-out or a protest or something?
Oh don't criticize them, they'll lash out at you for it. I got a lot of backlash in the AWD thread for telling them to stow their high school drama bullshit.
