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

It rung up $37.88 for me. Oh well. I ended up buying FFXII for $14.88.

Note: If anybody's interested, Office depot / Office Max has 2.0 USB Flash Drives on nationwide clearance: 16GB for $2.31 & 32GB for $4.01.

Walmart has 32GB Cruzer Blade drives for $3 atm fwiw

 
I might have to stop by my Walmart and grab one for a cheap backup.

Also I remember the early days of the internet when such memes were kept quarantined for their own good.

 
lots of HP systems showing up in the BS price drops today, just gonna post them all so they're in the thread for awareness, prices are obviously extremely YMMV and you probably won't find it at the lowest price listed, but worth checking if up your alley / maybe setting up an alert for a price drop,

Good luck to anyone who tries for that Omen. I went through hell and back to track one of those suckers down for $300 months ago.

How do you like it? I have a few stores supposedly chock full of them and the 27" monitors but everything is still around full price. Starting to feel OCD with how much I check the prices lol

Ooh, what's that monitors SKU? Been looking for a large monitor recently!

based on the listed specs it should be a pretty alright rig, I just upgraded off a 1070 but they're still solid cards and the i7-7700 is a quad core (8 with ht) cpu, I mean if you got it at $200-$300 you could potentially gut the entire rig and turn a profit just selling the individual parts if you really wanted to

Honestly I barely touched it. Booted it up and clean installed Windows 8.1, though haven’t touched it in months. I have a new iMac 27 inch as well which is my primary computer. I bought the Omen just to have a modern windows PC since my computer before the iMac was a ten year old Dell XPS that was about to die. Between getting the Omen for $300 and the Asus Predator 27 inch monitor for $125 (also at walmart on clearance from $500), I couldn’t pass up that kind of deal.

Random but the past week Walmart's frozen foods have dropped to $1/each for things such as meatballs, frozen dinners, fries, etc. Probably b/c they are replacing these with newer packaging and trying to clear stock. Prices should be marked in this section too. Here are a few.

Picked up the Berry Blue DualShock 4 from Walmart for $46.96 + taxes. Just order them online for store pickup. Once you receive them do a return rebuy at customer service.

That's not how it works. If you order something online for store pickup and it gets shipped to the store, when you do a return it needs to be sent back to the center it came from so you can't rebuy it (I know, some people were able to rebuy but that is against policy for Walmart). If it is available for pickup that day than it can be RR. You also don't have to do a RR if it was ready the day you placed the order, it'll automatically adjust the price for you.

Walmart stores don't carry the new color in store yet. They made an exception for the RR because they just didn't have the colors in store yet. And that all the controllers in store are marked $46 yet online they are higher. I got the camo blue and the berry this way. I go to that Walmart a lot so they know me there. They were nice enough to do that for me

So... you got an exception.

 
Uber YMMV but some guy in Iowa apparently got lucky with a $5 Octopath Traveler. Looks like cheapest one that is still in stock thus far is a store in El Paso, TX with them for $30, but cant hurt to check your areas.

I still have no idea why some stores mark down these items that sell. It isn't supposed to be marked down either, it's a manager that overrides the price for whatever reason.

Only store that has it for $5 is the Walmart Supercenter #2764 at 3501 8Th St Sw Altoona IA 50009 but it's OOS. It was marked down yesterday to that price it seems too.

Yeah, it’s weird. The Tuscaloosa store marked down quite a few new Wii games to $10 several years ago. Those were always hot sellers back then (around 2010.)

It makes no sense. Best Buy never does that. If the in-store price is lower they'll simply adjust the price. Wal-Mart's policy is bogus. No one is playing or manipulating the system. They listed the prices in store and all I am asking is for a price adjustment. I am not trying to stack coupons or price match or anything. And the store scanners pick up the new colors. It's in their system. Any way, they were nice enough to RR but really, they need to re-examine this policy

 
I found this at Walmart today while picking up some stuff, I personally have never seen this one before and can only assume it's a tie-in for the upcoming Sequel, though the box branding only mentions Wreck It Ralph and not the sequel itself

That’s a nice find. Those things look to be really hard to find. One soldon eBay for $60 and no others listed. I’m guessing you could sell it for more. I wonder if stores have been bought out or most just haven’t stocked them yet.

it's the first time I've seen this particular one, and it's #'d higher than the other ones they usually have (centipede, rampage, asteroids, etc) so I'm assuming this one is fairly new but dunno

Yeah if I had to guess it is likely a tie-in to the upcoming movie and you will likely see a lot more in stores as the release date gets closer. None of my closest Walmarts have it in stock.
