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

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 😩
Good times, gotta blame walmart and others for stopping them from checking inventory.
 
Looks like Persona tactical PS5 is $10 everywhere. Found in NE PA walmart.

Trying to post photos though no matter the file size, the site is saying the photos are too large.
 
Of course P5 Tactica goes on clearance after I bought the game for $20 last month and the return window ended. Lol.

For anyone wondering, the game is fine. Like a 7. Think XCOM/Mario + Rabbids instead of Fire Emblem. Story is very forgettable; not as good of a spinoff as P5 Strikers.

If you didn't play the original P5 and you aren't a fan of turn-based tactical cover shooters, don't bother.

Same here. Bought it in May for $20. Just re-bought it for $10 while I was traveling since I wasn't sure I if I did pick it up a few months back!
 
I saw NBA2K24 and Burnout Paradise Remastered for Switch for $10 today at the Camden Delaware Walmart. They also had Persona 5 Tactica for $20 and Jojo Siwa Worldwide Party for $15. All had regular on shelf pricing.
 
Found an unmarked copy of nier for switch for 10 bucks today at an out of the way Walmart. It wasn’t there several months ago when all those games dropped or any of the other times I have been there since, so they must have dug it up from somewhere recently.
 
Tactica is also $10 on Switch.

So is Borderlands 3 Ultimate.

So I've checked these when I have stopped by 4 different stores now the past few weeks but wasn't able to reproduce either deal. Borderlands 3 Ultimate was still full price. And Persona 5 Tactica was $19.93.

Either they're clearing out warehouses or back storerooms because I saw the following reappear the other day at my local WalMart:

Switch: Five Nights at Freddy's Core Collection $10
PS5: Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed $10
PS4: The Quarry $10
 
Clearance deals I noticed on Friday, August 23rd, 2024:

PS5 - TMNT Shredder's Revenge $10
PS4 - PAC-MAN World Re-Pac $10

^ I noticed that these two games had clearance stickers on the shelf that I had never seen before with a new format, they had QR codes on them, I could not find a date on either one of these.

Switch - Detective Pikachu Returns $30

PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless White Headset $79

Switch - PDP Afterglow Wave Wireless Controller $35.50
Switch - PowerA Super Mario Bros. 3 Enhanced Wireless Controller $39.50
Switch - PowerA NANO Enhanced Wireless Controller $32
Pac-Man was also $10 at my store. Ps5 version was still $20.

Lego Jurassic world also $10

I hit 3 different stores this week but have not able to replicate :switch: Prince of Persia (NSW) at $10 in my area. In each case it scanned as $19.93, which means that they have added it to their pool of $19.93 value titles (at least in-store anyway). Very YMMV on this one.

:switch: Five Nights at Freddy's Core Collection (NSW) on the other hand did scan as $10, though none of the locations had any stock.
 
I guess, dont have interest in the game so I didn't get a copy. Now if it was Prince of Persia like everyone is talking about above I wouldve gotten that

Yeah, PoP is one I plan to eventually grab a copy of. Hopefully BF or Cyber Monday it'll be cheap like past Ubisoft games at that time of the year. That's usually when I get them.

I encountered the same. Still holding out hope but seems unlikely. One of my stores has had Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on “clearance” for 45 bucks for months and months tho so it’s probably a waste to dream of PoP for $10.
 
That's probably what they meant.
No, that Detective Pikachu game was marked $10 at one of my local Wallys. All the clearance games were separated out and clearly marked in a mostly-empty game cabinet. It's a Walmart in a smaller nearby town, so I wonder if they're just clearancing things that were left over and haven't sold much. This is the same Walmart I got two copies of Octopath and Ni no Kuni 1 for $10 each and a copy of Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE $5 during a prior clearance round.
 
I found two copies of Persona 5 Tactics at a Walmart about 30 minutes away. I bought one. Will look for NSW Prince of Persia when I go back to Walmart.
 
Greater San Antonio area.

Pulse 3D PS5 headset $39.98
1TB D30 wd_black SSD Xbox $32
PowerA Fusion 3 Pro controller Xbox $31.50
Lies of P PS5 $29.98
Backbone for iPhone (both PlayStation and Xbox) $39.98
Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles Switch $20

I also found some new in box returns that were marked down that aren't normal clearance. PS5 dual sense edge for $140 and the PlayStation portal for $150.
 
If you live in Independence, MO. Check out walmart on 39th ST. Plenty of Switch, PS5 and XBOX games on clearance. Picked up Burnout (S) $8, NBA 2K24 (S) $8, Xenoblaze 3 $23, Detective Pikachu Return $23, Sonic Frontier (X1/PS5) $16, Capcom Colletion $23 and few more games. Saw plenty copies of Prince of Persia (S) $15, Few copies Kirby $23.
 
PS5 pulse 3d headset camo $50.
Brought 2, left 2.

recently bought the pulse elite. Tried it once. Not a fan of headphones since I have a home theater setup and cannot imagine playing without surround sound and bass. that being said I’d buy these as a spare if I ever need them.

Which Kirby game was that? I'm guessing it's Kirby Star Allies which I've seen there for $30 numerous times.
