I can tell you I cleaned out the K-mart in Oconomowoc today, got 5
Gungan Patrols for 2.50 each. They didn't have anything else left, and
like you, I had to scan them to find out they were on clearance.
Nothing marking them at all, and still in the normal aisle. Needless to
say, I scanned 90% of the aisle looking for more deals that weren't
marked. Found nothing :(
Got a number on that Droid? do you mean the pit droid? If so, I might
have to take a little drive tomorrow night :)
I need to go back to the k-mart on Sunset tomorrow anyway, I picked up a
soccer set, and didn't realize it was already opened and rifled :( it
was hard to tell with the weight of the ball I guess :( or I wouldn't
have grabbed it in the first place. I don't think Consumer affairs
would want to replace 70% of the set :( Needless to say, I'm looking
much closer now when it comes to clearance items.
Lets keep up the good work on letting others know about deals :) it's
nice when you know you've got a better chance of getting something!
Tamy :)
