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

Why do I even come in here? Every time I see those clearances, I always just shake my head knowing those will never reach those prices around here.
Maybe but ita interesting seeing what other people walmarts has. My Wal-Mart's died down these days. Its funny how one of my walmart has a wo long ps5 for $30 for years and have a another tagged for $40 and then wo long ps4 for $30 it makes no sense
 
TBF, most don't show a locale either with their postings as Walmart is so YMMV

At this point, saying “I found X game for $10 in store” is equivalent to posting here “I got eggs on sale at the grocery today!”.

Without being more specific, the post doesn’t add anything to the thread.
 
Why am I being singled out in this thread when most don't post their location? I thought this thread was pretty much just for a little bit of conversation. People post what they find on clearance when they stop at a walmart. Every store is difference so most of these posts are not going to be that helpful. I want that Lies of P PS5 that is mentioned above but there is no walmart anywhere near me that has ever carried it. I guess everyone should stop posting in this thread because we are not helpful.

The guy singling you out has been here since 2003, I would ignore him as to he obviously doesn't know how clearance works in stores.
 
The basic info on games dropping in price is still useful since it's often more than just my local random store. But it's not as useful as when we could just look up an item and see which stores had it for that price.
ive been using the walmart app, a lot of the time when stuff goes on clearance it reflects on there now. At least in my area it does. The thing that sucks is the stock tracker on the app isnt always accurate.

This time... It's personal!

Well if someone is being anal-retentive and giving you grief over this they are probably in a small minority, so I wouldn't really be concerned about it. No one here owes other people anything, nor is anyone entitled to anything beyond what others are willing to volunteer, so share as much or as little information as you care to. And for anyone who doesn't divulge a location that's perfectly fine as far as I am concerned. In this era of data breaches and personal privacy concerns I certainly wouldn't begrudge someone for wanting to protect their privacy in whatever ways they see fit.
 
Wow the conversation the last few days here is funny. No one is singling anyone out, at least I am not. I relish the old walmart $.03 and $3 days. When brickseek worked and hunting was fun.

I digress. I still do feel saying “I found an item on clearance” without any specific and knowing it is not nationwide doesn’t help others. Yes it doss add to the conversation and that’s okay too.
 
All deals posted here are non-nationwide clearance, it's in the freaking thread title. Literally no one posted anything as vague as "I found an item on clearance."

You lying about not singling anyone out (you were quoting someone!) and deflecting in general does not add anything to the conversation.

You know, the title of this thread is "Walmart YMMV", emphasis on the "Your Mileage May Vary" part. Everyone knows that clearances may not be at all stores. And you knowing the specific store when it could be several states away from you, isn't any more helpful to you. Just knowing an item is on clearance, when most stores have nationwide clearance items, is still useful.

Let's not discourage people from posting anything (lord knows that's been a problem on CAG before, hence why so many posters don't post here anymore) when posting any deals with the item, price and store it came from, is more than enough. Also, let's not discourage when some don't post any deals at all.

Looking for that TMNT for PS5. Saw it at a store I visited over the weekend though the store tag showed MSRP at $19.93. I didn't ask someone to scan it and brickseek showed the nearest stores around as MSRP.

Persona 5 Tactica PS5 $10
They also had Evil West PS4 but it was $45, haven't seen that game in a while.

Walmart Clearance Hunting was so much better when Brickseek actually worked like it was supposed to. Now unless it's tagged I don't really even bother as it's such a pain to first even find a employee with case keys & then dealing with the having to scan it to check the price eye roll of & response of "Can't you read the tag?". No I can't cause you have it stack in the bottom of the case unmarked. I get it the job sucks but it's part of the job, don't whine to me whine to your boss.

Even when stuff is tagged it isn't price correctly & some stuff that should have been lowered long ago sometimes are still doesn't budge despite been lowered in every other store... Still watching and waiting on that 45.00 Bayonetta 3 copy at my local. I get the feeling it's going to become the new Madden 2005 for the PS1 at my local 😩
