The Offer
Walmart announced last week the closing of 154 stores in the USA, 269 worldwide.
List of stores and their closing dates here
- As part of the liquidation, these stores are offering 25% everything in the store.
- One report indicates that the discount goes up to 50% starting Friday.
What Works?
- Groceries, cleaning supplies, makeup, vitamins, over the counter drugs are all reported as working with the discount.
- Alcohol, guns, ammo, and pharmacy is said not to work according to an employee.
- Interestingly, a report on Fatwallet indicates that the 25% discount even works on third-party gift cards (wow!), though not on Visa. Probably won’t work on Walmart gift cards either, but it can’t hurt to try.  🙂
Final Thoughts
There may not be a huge selection of iPads, but getting regular stuff at 25% or 50% off Walmart’s regular prices is very good. Stock up now if you have one in the area.
If you’re a reseller, well…
Thanks for the heads up, got a trunkload of goodies. Tried ringing up an iTunes gift card, it did not get 50% off.
This is very YMMV. Not really many stores being closed that are the big stores with good inventory. But more power to those who get a good deal. Long live WM
Went last night for 25% off. Clerk said will eventually get to 75% off in final days. Picked up a bunch of canned goods and toiletries. No gift cards in sight. Clerk said they took them down before the sale started.
That list has a Sam’s club closing sorta near me but a little farther than I usually go. Anyone know if the Sam’s have similar clearance deals?
Maybe call in and check
I just gave Sam’s Club a call. The employee said they are closing next week, but they are NOT having a clearance sale. So I guess the deal is for walmart only.
None of Walmarts closing in Tampa… Sob Sob
No store will be closed in WA…
