 | | Clearance Sales - bad this year?
|
|
Is it the hazy mists of memory, or were the post-Xmas clearances a lot better last year? The only place I've found with decent clearance stuff is Target (so I'm glad they're building them up here now!) Everything else has been sadly lacking. Walmart (...)

(...) K-Mart went thru a big corporate clean-up. They seem less likely to do slash n' burn price reductions. Although individual stores seem to be the exception and do have a *few* great deals.

(...) The Ames near me has the absolute lamest clearance I have ever seen: the UFO Interstellar Starfighter, originally $79.99, at the low, low clearance price of... $79.00 I was...underwhelmed, to say the least. J (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I noticed this at Ames going back to October, when I saw several big sets (different themes) marked "Clearance" to reflect markdowns from $59.99 to ... $59.00! Ames humor, I think. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
