There probably isn't much more than what that master list has on it. Basically, the clearance started last year at 30% then 50% then 70% and then hit 90% early this year. The finds are few and far betweem now. Also, many ended up going down to scanning .01 at the scanners and will scan .00 at the register. They were suppose to have pulled these items from the shelves, so they may not even let you have them at any price. Not saying you won't find anything, but it's doubtful you'll find much unless you find a really unorganized store that no one has hit yet.
There is a new round of 30% starting now. It will follow the same schedule. We have all been told different dates, but it's sounds like it should go 50% in August. If you go, it's a good idea to start your own list of wants that you see at 30%, so you can be ready to look for them as they clearance lower. The best finds for most of us have been items that they forgot to actually marke green tag, but you'll find that one store may have it marked and another they forgot. |
Something to add is that you need to scan scan and scan at the stores. Those that find the "hidden" items spend hours per week there. It's hard work finding bargains! You need to visit the stores in your area to find out what may be marked at different stores and keep your eyes peeled for differences. Prices also vary from store to store within your area.
