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 don't need the tv, I'll be using it as a monitor.

That is unless anyone has a compelling reason to get an actual monitor. This PC will be used for general administrative tasks, kids homework, etc. not for gaming.

All my local Walmart's appear to have the Star Wars Battlefront 2 PS4 slim 1tb bundle for $249. Picked one up last night for that price without a problem.

That's fine for a monitor. I have a 50" 4K connected to my laptop, works fine. Was almost tempted to pick this up and connect it to another computer, though none in my area are on clearance.

 
Anyone get the Razer Gaming Bundle that is under $100 in most stores? How are the headset, keyboard and the wired mouse? I might get one if they are decent.

If anyone bought that $200 HP laptop, you can now sign up for the Windows version of GeForce Now Beta. Stream games at max settings. I've used it on my 2011 Macbook Pro and it's pretty cool. It's free, for now

I tried GeForce Now on early 2011 Macbook Pro as well. It's been nice for playing the PC versions of Overwatch, CSGO, Fortnite. Last I remember I was able to install games not on their support list by running a game I didn't own and just installing one I wanted to play, not sure if that is still possible but that was fun to mess with.

Only problem is I can't get GeForce Now to work elsewhere on a fiber connection, something massively wrong with that wireless router setup, as it works great on my cable internet (aside from the occasional fuzziness that can ruin your gameplay experience). Your experience may vary. Using GeForce Now just makes me want to slowly save on a new PC though.

I was trying to find each individual accessory, and they each seem to retail for about $50-$70. I couldn't find the exact items, as I'm sure these were made specifically for the bundle, but there was some that were sorta close (which is what I based the numbers above on). I'm thinking they're midrange-ish in quality (though I don't actually have this particular bundle).

I wasn't able to get the PC or the tv. This was the first time running into an employee who got angry that I even asked for them.

I'm thinking I will just go back to my original plan for a house computer and buy a used iMac to match the rest of my Apple products. It's just so hard to spend that kind of cash.

Supposedly 25 of them near me, but no available to order online for in store pickup. Not sure if it's worth dealing with employees

I figured the in-store pickup was a sure thing, so I placed an order for the Samsung monitor. Nope. Long story short, they couldn't find it and I guess they didn't feel the need to give me a follow-up phone call and tell me that much.

A store near me has both the monitor and TV in stock, at $154 and $250 in store pickup.  All other stores are sold out at the lower prices.  Contemplating getting both and attempting a return rebuy for both.  Do employees typically give you a hard time for higher priced items like this?

My Walmart was kind enough to call me to tell me they couldn't fulfill my order...

The mouse alone is a $50 mouse, I use the rgb version daily
 
Not sure if it's been asked but, one of my Walmarts in town has the Razer bundle for $74, the other had it for $30. If I buy the $74, return it to the other Walmart then rebuy it, will it ring up $30?

 
Ugh, my store has the Monitor for pickup for $99. I want it but I don't need it.....

EDIT: Went out of stock while I was poopin', guess it wasnt meant to be

The TCL 55" S Series seems to have hit clearance at Walmart.  At $348 at some stores.  It's "MSRP" is $500, but it's been at $398 at Walmart for a long time.  It's usually $450 at Best Buy and sometimes goes on sale there for $400. 

I was really eyeing it, but I've kind of switch over to wanting the P series.  It's only available at amazon and best buy and neither have had a sale on it since I've started keeping tabs on it last fall.  Hoping for a pre-Super Bowl price drop.  May just get the S series if there is another price drop at WM though.

A few stores have that $170 Samsung around me which is super tempting, but I'd prefer the better HDR and larger size of the TCLs.  Our current tv is a 40 and it's killing me.

Hmm, interesting. I was about to pull the trigger on the 40" but a 55" in much more tempting. There are dozens at every store around here so this would be perfect with a few more price drops!

I doubt you'll find a better deal on an HDR/4K tv for $169, especially a Samsung.

 
Yea, I'm def gonna hit my local store for one of those 40" Samsungs.  My bedroom tv (32" 720p Westinghouse) just passed its 10 year anniversary so i'm overdue for a new one.

I'm surprised it lasted that long. I had probably the same model as you from Target and it lasted about 2 weeks after it's warranty expired.

I hesitated on checking on a Phillips 50" for $100 last year and missed it. It's definitely a great deal and about as cheap of a price on a 32+ tv you'll find, but the size is a big issue for me. Also, as great as Samsung is, the HDR capabilities on that tv just aren't as good as other sets and that's an issue for me too. For me this would be an amazing bedroom tv, but we'll move our old Samsung LCD 40" there when we get a new tv. Also, I'm a little disappointed in how much Samsung has eliminated connections. My dad got one over Christmas and I helped set it up. I think it's a 6300. No analog audio out so I had to find him a DAC for his headphone setup. Only one shared component/composite connection, no pc. With that much cutback I'd expect four HDMIs not three.

Well yeah, the HDR capabilities aren’t what you’d get on something that’s $1000+, but given $160 I think you’re getting a heck of a bargain, lol. I have a 49” Vizio I got on display at Walmart last year in my office now, it has no HDR at all. Will probably move that Vizio into the bedroom and put this Samsung in my office since I play on my one x in there.

some HDR is better than no HDR :p
 
Can someone who owns the Razer bundle tell me about the keyboard? From looking at the pictures of the keyboard, it looks like a $5 one you can find at Fry's (very basic with no volume controls).

 
It's a Cynosa without color lighting. Membrane keys, volume and other is stacked on F1-F12. You can customize everything with Razer Synapse anyway including macros so it's better than a cheapo keyboard.

What he said, the wife loves the set.

 
the Razer bundle dropped to $49 at a lot more stores in my area yesterday, a few of them went from 8-9 in stock straight to 0 though, not sure if people rushed in and bought every bundle or if the stores sent them back home / to fill other ship to store orders, other stores aren't moving stock very quickly so I'm leaning towards the latter

Obviously it’s not a higher end mechanical keyboard comparable to a k70/chroma (or one of those TKL’s the size of a chocolate bar with blank caps /r/mechanicalkeyboards drools over for some reason), but it’s definitely better than a standard generic keyboard from Logitech.

I already have everything offered in the set (don’t own anything Razer though) and I’m thinking about buying one of the $74 ones, driving across town, returning it and rebuying it for $30. Really good deal at $30-49 just for the Deathadder alone

Agreed, the Deathadder on it's own is worth the entire bundle at the clearance price, I use the Deathadder chroma as my daily driver (which I surprisingly got for free after someone on ebay completely screwed up and sent me it instead of a Deathadder Elite, then refunded me and told me to just keep the mouse that was new in box)

If it drops down to $30 in my area I'm going to probably do a return and rebuy, keeping an eye on BS

Once you go mechanical you'll never go back lol.

I got the $50 Razer bundle and I sold the keyboard. there's no way I'm replacing my BF4 Blackwidow keyboard with the Cynosa

For me I love the K70 RGB, am actually content with it. I would hate having a TKL, I love having media keys and being able to load profiles and stuff, lol.

I had a K70 RGB Lux with cherry blues, I ended up selling it at one point due to jumping the gun on a financial situation that ended up being fine. Still kick myself for that. I have cherry reds now, but I haven’t been able to replace mine with the blues. I can’t even find it anywhere, not on eBay, nowhere online has it. It’s like it never existed
 
I actually like membrane keyboards for FPS games where you are going to do a lot of small movements. Mech. keyboards have a lot of travel and get a bit too clicky when you do a lot of strafing. I'm using a Razer Orbweaver though since I like a lot of room for my mouse so I can't complain. The pack-in keyboard is decent though, not bad quality at all.

 
My problem is that I went into a buying spree once I got my Varmilo. Now I've got that, a Ducky Shine 5, a gsx96 that I installed kailh purple's on, and a welfare96 that I think I'm gonna use gateron browns on with the maxkey lime caps. It's a fun hobby, but some of the gear is up there in price
 
JFC, why does Wal-Mart even have an electronics section. Between the 5 stores I went to today, each was showing in stock online and on BS for the monitor and tv. Every associate I talked to instantly said they have none in stock without looking, despite what their own website says and a couple went as far as saying they never carried either in the first place. If their own stock numbers are to be believed that's 8 missing tvs and 6 missing monitors at least. That's ridiculous.
 
Just got a 2 pack of security cameras for half off. Not bad considering we spent $35 on one terrible Chinese camera from Amazon.

I managed to pick up the Razer bundle!  The guy who got there before me was nice enough to leave me one.  Or maybe he just could only afford 4.

Super pleased.  I have needed a good keyboard for awhile.  The mouse will be a backup unless I need to do some gaming.

It is definitely one of the best TV bargains I've seen in a long time. No arguing here. It just doesn't fit a need for me. I have to keep arguing with myself that we don't have a need for it. lol. It sounds perfect for you and many others though. I think my dad got this tv for a bedroom a few months ago actually and my brother was with him and got one from that sale too.

I was just meaning at full price the 55" just lags behind since the next tier up is in the 600-800 range (only 100 or so more for the next tier although 200-300 more for the next level Samsung) and that level of Samsung, Vizio, TCL, etc has better local dimming and HDR. Clearly you won't get anything like that for this insanely great price.

Did you try using the app for in store pickup
 
Looks like they dropped the price of those monitors at the other Walmart to $99. Ordered two of them and left one. Too icy to go out right now but I'll swing by tomorrow.

Can't order one of the razer bundles though. Won't let me.

I didn't think of it at the time but I did when I got home. Just got an email confirmation that they're both ready for pick up. Can't wait to go tomorrow and get them from the guy who claims they didn't exist lol

Assuming I can actually get them in hand, I'll have to do a return rebuy to get the cheaper prices at a store near my house. Oh lord I hope they let me.
