  2. Mary

    Has anyone checked it out in Green Bay WI?

    • nancy

      I’m from Green Bay, but have not checked! I was just excited to see that someone else lives in the Frozen Tundra!

      • mary

        Yes it is nice to see a fellow cheese head on this site

  3. gwenn

    Are these returnable? I’m about to send my dad to the closes B&N to us (close to his job but an hour for me to get there!) and I’m worried he’ll pick up the wrong stuff LOL

    • Jen

      No their clearance is final sale 🙁

    • Harry

      It’s $2, if you don’t like it, donate it to a good cause

  4. rosana

    Dont think i am going to the store. My store is always picked up, nothing good.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Bummer 🙁

  5. Norma

    My store I managed to find:
    Magformers lighted set which retails at Amazon/ walmart $89-91, elf on the shelf bday tradition, American girl scrapbook kit, stretchy headbands craft set, tile art chalkboard craft set, awesome origami set, space activity book, beautiful card set & MCAT 5 book study set …$2 bucks each item. Spent $20 ….woohoo!

    • Just Me

      Oh I would love those magformers! Where are you?

      • Norma

        Im in San Diego.

        • Norma

          Sorry I didn’t post my location before it’s because the store was really cleared out and most of these items where like a last item. Many people were there but I don’t know why they didn’t spot these things as I left & came back.. I think it was just luck.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Awesome score Norma! 😀

      • Norma

        Thank you 🙂

    • Shauna

      How many pieces are in the magformers set?

      • Norma

        55 pieces

        • Shauna

          Thank you! That set is still $119.95 at the store I’m in.

          • Norma

            🙁 I went back my son wanted another elf on the shelf bday for second elf and there were 2 geomag 104 piece sets .. Look a little retro marked regular price 54.95 but are also in $2 spot . The kids were uninterested .. Once we opened one they could not get over how fun it is to build and truly a winner! This one is priced on Amazon $49.95 and walmart 47.95 . They are pretty cool if u spit them and on the fence ..good buy

          • Norma

            Not “spit” meant spot them

            • Norma

              Magformers UPC
              7 30658 63092 1

              • jenny

                Did anyone’s store not have these marked or not part of the red dot sale? I saw two in the regular aisle with this UPC and asked to price check. They said it was 119.95 🙁

                • Allison

                  I called around to about 7 different Barnes & Nobles here in the Chicago area and they had the Magformers, but all were regular price – none at the $2 price. I was really disappointed! I wanted to get a set for my 5 yr. old girl who loves building. Maybe another deal will come along. Good luck in your search!

            • jenny

              ahh ok, thanks for confirming! i will keep searching and good luck to you too!

        • Allison

          Norma,

          The 55 piece Magnformer set – is this the lighted set? Do you have a UPC code from the box you could please share with us?

          Thanks a bunch!

  6. E2leb2e

    Even if it’s not refundable it’s so cheap you can donate it to like toys for tots

    • Lucy

      Totally agree

  7. Jessica

    Man, I went on Friday when it was 75% off. I got the Elf Birthday for less than $5…still better than $20! I also got two pedicure kits to add to the gift closet for $5.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great finds Jessica!

  8. Kait

    These would be great to donate for the holidays!

  9. sara

    Anything in Skokie or Niles, Illinois?

    • Amy

      Just got back from Niles. Not much selection in toys. Mostly books and puzzles, picture frames. Quite a few elf birthdays left.

      • sarah

        Saved my trip Amy.thanx

  10. Krista

    Anyone checked any stores in the Durham NC area?

  11. Rita

    Anyone checked in bay area?

    Too bad the closest Barnes and Noble is an hour away. I’d gladly buy $2 Lego sets. Maybe I’ll giveb them a call… 😉

  13. E

    Absolutely nothing was at my store. There wasn’t even a place set up with clearance. I was bummed:( Northern VA btw

    • J

      Thanks for the heads up, won’t bother going out with the kids then!

    • Jessica

      Where in Northern, VA? The one in Manassas had some things on Friday.

      • E

        Really? I’m in Manassas too, so did I just completely miss the table? Where in the store was it located? I went last Wednesday.

        • Carolyn

          The sale tables at my store are usually by the magazines. Someone on this site taught me to check there first.

    • Erin

      There was a single sad table of opened, possibly broken/incomplete (and weird–Baby Selfies?!?) craft kits, a handful of books, and a crap ton of Elf Birthday books in RVA.

      • Benita

        Good to see fellow RVA coupon et, thanks for saving me a trip

      • Valerie

        What stores did you go to? I’m in RVA too and some are better than others.

      • Div

        Thanks Gina…

  16. Karen

    Lancaster PA was somewhat picked over however the cashier told me that they have boxes and boxes and will be spreading it out throughout the next couple days/week

    • Anne

      Sweet thanks for the info! I’m from Lancaster. Today I was able to find a few things including a cute skip hop thermos set, but it definitely seemed mostly cleared out.

  17. Jessica

    Anybody checked in Kentucky anywhere? I’m traveling tomorrow for a conference and would love to snag some of these deals!

  18. Nica

    I didn’t see much stuff at the barnes and nobles in Boise, is there more than one in the boise area?

    Called 7 sores around me. Non had magformers. So sad. One store said a lady got 15 of then this AM

    • Norma

      That really sucks .. I’m sure she is probably gonna resell. You’d think they would limit the amount of like items you can get.

      • adri

        I keep some and resell also from things I get there . Everyone has to make a living =) First come first serve right

    • Just Me

      I would seriously play with all 15. Oh what I could build! Lol

      • Norma

        Ha ha ha .. Too funny:)

  28. Hannah S

      Totally jealous about that trampoline:) My LO already bounces off the walls, so it would be nice to try to contain the bouncing;) Great finds!

  34. Rae

    I got two of the skip hop bags pictured for my little guys as well as the matching zipper pouch bags. And two exercise balls with work out dvd and booklet one for me one for a gift. I want even going to try going but I tried it any way and am glad I did since the back packs alone were regularly $40.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sound like a great score! 🙂

  35. jess

    Just left the Sioux Falls, SD store! Got some awesome stuff!! A couple of nice Hape baby toys, some sand buckets with sets of toys, a couple of craft kits, two 1000 piece puzzles, some nice 36 piece puzzles, a few games and decals. Could have gotten much more but I am trying to limit myself to what I really could use!!! Spent $16.94. 🙂

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      What a great find Jess! 😀

  36. Julie L

    Anyone know if they freshen up the clearance table when this starts? I was just there for the 75 off last week, bought everything I would have cared to. Would love to go back if it has a new selection?! –SE Michigan …

    • Stacie

      My store in Holland, MI, had some similar items but also some new items in comparison to last week when I was there. I stocked up on some cards/stationary items but there wasn’t a great selection of toys.

  37. Kim

    I think they might still be marking stuff down. I just got back and a lady that worked there was going back and forth from the customer service desk to clearance tables with stuff.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet! 😀

  38. Reese

    I just found 3 piece back packs that were $39.95 originally!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)
