Walmart Clearance

Walmart is one of my places I will only go at night. When my kids are asleep and I have lots of time to spare. Walmart is always filled with hidden clearance treasure. And 80% of them are  not marked or mismarked.

So last night I went to my local 24 hour Walmart for a few things with full intention on being
in-n-out. But then I seen those yellow clearance balloons everywhere and just went to look. I'm glad I did.

I found these boots for my 14 year old son. He's already 6 foot tall, size 13 shoes, and wearing bigger clothes than my husband. So he can be a hard one to shop for. So when I seen these boots I got really excited and put them in my cart.

Original $59.97 marked down to $13! See what I mean about not being marked correctly. On-line they are full price.

Then I seen these slippers  in my sons size. Original $5.43 marked down to $3! Good price for new slippers.

So here is why I'm at Walmart for hours. Walmart does not properly mark down their clearance. I'm sure they try their best but things get missed, items are moved, or whatever the reason might be clearance is not priced correctly. 

So I'll spend hours scanning everything! These slippers scanned in at $2! Not the $3 marked.

During my trip I  found a pair of sneakers in my size. Originally $14.93. Marked down to $5 but scanned in at $3! I love canvas shoes. These are my go-to shoes for everything from dressing down a pencil shirt to short/jeans.

 Glade candles originally $2.98 (not marked but had a Christmas tree on them) marked down to 75 cents. Hair accessories for my daughters marked down at $5 but scanned at 50 cents! 

And it's not just clothing that does thing but EVERYTHING! I've found in the past Lego sets regularly $99, marked down to $70, but scanned in at $20!

The way I know how to find these hidden items is Instagram!

I know each store is different but for the most part items/prices will be the same. So when I get the my empty Walmart at 11pm I look up the #walmartclearance.

There's people who dedicate their days posting hidden items. I'm very thankful for their hard work since it helps me find that exact Frozen bag that isn't marked and has a tag for $5 then it scans at 50 cents. 

And sure sometimes prices will vary. I seen a shirt on Instagram that several people posted was $1. But at my Walmart it was full price. So sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. ( and no Walmart will not price match Instagrams)

But after 4 hours of walking, scanning, searching, and more scanning I found my son those 2 boots, the slippers, a pair of dress shoes, 1 shirt for me that I plan to refashion,  the pair of sneakers, a few toys for my gift closet, free baby food for an upcoming baby shower, frozen burritos, a gallon of chocolate milk (I was thirsty), groceries, and some nice smelling candles. Retail I would had paid close to $300! But I spent $75!
