I was shopping in Barnes and Noble yesterday. The sign on the clearance table said 75% off but everything was ringing up $2. I went to another Barnes and Noble after that and it was the same situation, $2 for each item.

Some of my favorite finds were a Beatles Monopoly game, a handmade wooden drum set, Crayola Marker Airbrush, a children’s pottery wheel, and Monsters Inc cars. All for only $2 each!
[/h2s_box]

So, I headed over to my local Barnes and Noble store here in Boise, Idaho to check out this reported Toy Clearance. Here are just some of the great deals that I spotted…

Lego Chima Heat-Oh Case $2
(Regularly $19.95!)

Vtech MobiGo Games $2
(regularly $19.95)

Vtech Vreader Cartridge $2
(regularly $19.95)

And much more!

Before you make a special trip, you may want to call your local store to confirm that they are indeed hosting this 75% Off Toy Sale. Come back and let us know what you are able to find!

[h2s_box]These are perfect items to buy now and stash away in your Gift Closet for an upcoming Birthday party or even for Christmas! Don’t have a Gift Closet?! Check out my video here entitled How to Make a Gift Closet for some great tips! [/h2s_box]

  1. LO

    Wow that’s awesome. My B&N never has sales like that. Also no toys :/

  2. megan

    booooo. I paid $10 for the Beatles Monopoly game last week!!

  3. Tanya

    Ours had 75% off toys last week, but prices were SO inflated that there was not one good deal on any of the 4 tables!!

  4. Olivia Douglass

    I wish I had one close! 🙁

  5. Naomi

    Do they have a self price checker in store?

  6. Tia

    She (Angela) really scored!

  7. adri

    I got tons of toys the last time. Some worth $65 so I cant wait to see what I find today!!!

  8. Teetee

    What state did she score these deals at Barnes and noble. It usually helps to know that before we all get all geared up to go put and get the same deal.

    • adri

      all the IL stores have this

    • Angela

      I found these amazing deals in Minnesota.

    • Jill W.

      Found them in Omaha, NE- I think she usually puts states if it’s specific but it seems this one is inclusive of a wide variety of area’s and you just have to check your local store, maybe a phone call if you don’t want to drive to it.

  9. Jessica

    Does anyone know how long this sale will last? I can’t make it today, but I’m hoping to go tomorrow!

    • adri

      will last till they gone? lol

      • Jessica

        Thanks. I figured the really good deals might be gone, but hopefully I can still find some tomorrow!

  10. Natasha

    I called my store and they said the sale ended on Monday (Madison, WI)

  27. Connie

    Has anyone checked out the Barnes and noble in milwaukee, wi?

    • Shannon

      There’s 2 tables. One right in front of customer service full of seasonings, pasta noodles, tea pots, throw blankets and pepper grinders. The other is right in front where you check out and has some stuff for kids but not much. There were Monsters cake or cookie pop kits and a couple weird toys. But really not much for kids at all. I got the last kids book and a bingo word game. That’s it.

    • Shannon

      and that’s the one on 76th by southridge

      • Connie

        Thanks so much for letting me know. Now I won’t waste my time driving there.
