[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 620487, member: 1233"] Have you checked more than one WM in your area? Each WM sets the clearance prices for their store, so prices of clearance stuff can vary widely from store to store. I found this out last year when our old WM had a bunch of fun office supply type stuff that I wanted for a teacher gift but they didn't have enough of the items. So I looked at our other WM and they were priced at a dollar each there. On clearance! (I would not pay a dollar for them ever!). I hunted down the store mgr and learned that each mgr sets the pricing for clearance at his store. I thought that was interesting because I would not have thought that. Our WMs can vary WIDELY on clearance items, but if you ask nicely, often they will let you have the item for the price at the other store. I would have to drive more than an hour to go to Kmart and I strongly dislike that store. Not all kmarts, one specific one. Though I find customer service at kmart to be astoundingly surly which annoys me to no end. But it is not worth the drive to go to kmart even if I liked them. Costs too much for the gas. I always hear great things about Target sales, but i rarely find anything I call a good deal. But I am probably pickier than most about these things, lol. Plus they are so awful here if you are disabled, and corporate is even MORE awful, so I don't waste the gas to go there either (again, over an hour's drive). [/QUOTE]
