Barnes & Noble Clearance

My Barnes & Noble store in Boise, ID had tables and tables of other items on sale including Skip Hop, MineCraft, American Girl Crafts and 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 Sale.


Target Elf on the Shelf Birthday

If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble near you, keep your eyes peeled for The Elf on the Shelf – A Birthday Tradition at your local Target store on clearance for as low as $9.97 – regularly $19.95! Hip2Save reader, Ashlee, spotted it for this low price at her Target; however, my store in Boise had this item marked on clearance at $13.96 so prices will vary! Don’t forget to price check if this item is not marked at your store.

(Thanks, Ashlee and Janet!)

    It’s because that dang elf is only bearable once a year if that. I actually love it, but it is so much more stress and dedication than I realized. 😄

    • Erin

      It’s all about the Benjamins! Can’t WAIT for Elf on the Shelf Thanksgiving, New Year’s, and Fourth of July traditions!

  3. Becca

    I love these posts and I love these sales! I just called my local bn and they said they have several elfs. I’m going to stop by and pick up a few plus anything else that looks good on the tables lol. Great Christmas gifts!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      That’s awesome Becca! So glad you could find them at your store as well!

  4. lorena

    Omg!! Thanks Collin, I reserved one online to pick up. Great price 😉

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Perfect! You’re welcome 😀

    • Susan

      Great idea–I did the same. And since my kids have bdays where the elf is already around (Nov. 29 and Dec. 6–he actually shows up for their bdays), we will write a letter for him to come for their “half birthdays”!!

    • Jannel O

      How do you reserve it online? I would really love to get this for my kids and am planning to run tomorrow, but if I can reserve it that is even better

    • Jannel O

      Never mind, I figured it out, had no idea you could do that. Thanks!

  5. Ashlee

    Even better, there’s a 20% off one item coupon that expires today!

    Ummm epic awesomeness. It is all currently hiding in the back of my car till my husband goes to work tomorrow…. (He’ll find out tomorrow morning when he looks at our bank statement) 😉 now have Christmas covered, which I know is a bad thing with all the other epic deals to come! Haha I got the last zoom green Dino robot for $25, play mobile dinosaur set for $13, dinosaur memory game, Melissa and Doug car stack $5, lots of wooden puzzles… I could go on and on it was a landmine. I now have a b&n membership… It’s over half paid for already :😁☺️

      Forgot to mention in Las Vegas

    Just got back from my local B&N and they had about 10 birthday elves left! They had lots of books, cute journals, cute little soaps that end up being $1.25! & my fave find was the kids Light Up Turtles forget what they’re called…CLOUD B LIGHT UP TURTLES I think. 😍

    There were a married pair of resellers literally blocking the tables while they used their phones to scan each bar code. I, literally, grabbed 4 baskets, went around them and grabbed anything I thought was great. I quickly ran away to another area of the store to go through what I wanted. I overheard a mother complaining that she wanted to look at the Minecraft figures she just saw on the table a few minutes earlier. I shouldn’t have to go to another section of a store !!

    I picked up 7 boxes of the Classic Solitaire game and a card game for donations to senior citizens for xmas. I bought two lunch boxes for a donation to a kids charity. This site has really helped me with donations.

    Why can’t you use your Christmas elf to show up for the kids birthday? Why do you have to buy a whole other elf?

    • Susan

      It’s not a new elf–just a bday costume for it.

  15. Carolyn

    Wow! I just left my store. I bought $180 worth of items for just $48. Thanks for the heads-up!

  16. Stacey Baldasare

    Thanks! I was lucky enough to find several Metal Earth model kits for 2.49 each!

  17. Julie L

    Whoa, glad I squeezed this trip in! Craft kits from American Girl, Fashion Angels, and My Studio Girl, cute magnetic bookmarks for kids, stationary sets, really nice quality notecards, board and card games, nice puzzles by Lang, high quality hand lotion and decorative soaps, artists sketch pencil set … $230 worth of stuff for just under $60! And I only bought stuff I knew I could use/give, had to turn my back on all kinds of other great stuff!

    And yes, bday elf set was there. Funny side note: they were hauling in Elf on the Shelf sets on dollies while I was there. “Here they come” said the employee pushing them in. 😆

  18. Norma

    Picked up ; first science kit, first excavating Dino kit, 2 Alex knit & wear kits, ace genuine poker set, Jonod underwater puzzle(beautiful!) with carrying case & mudpuppy stencils all for $45.82…great haul.. Will have to check this afternoon for elf as they were still adding more items to clearance 🙂

  19. Jen

    Thanks for the heads up. I had a kid free afternoon today and I scored some great deals. There were fun card games and AG crafts. I am super excited about what I found. I wouldn’t have stopped by without the post. Thanks!

  20. Susan

    How long will this clearance last?until items run out?

    • Jennine

      Yes, what’s left over in a few weeks will go to $2 then done.

  21. Becca

    Can’t wait for the $2 sale! I’m hoping to score a bunch of the game of thrones figures at that time assuming they’re any left. I swung by the B&N by my house again today & they still had loads

  22. Holly

    I got 6 things for $20! Super Mario bros checkers, barrel of monkeys ($1.72!), a finger puppet making kit, etc… the sales girls said they will put more on clearance as Christmas approaches!

    • Carolyn

      My store has $2 sale going on now! 😁

  23. Gretch

    Thank you so much!!! I was able to score a skiphop bag for my son for $9.99 and a skiphop lunch set too for $3.

  24. RMH

    Finally got a chance to go…I was able to get tegu magnetic blocks for $8.xx!!
