    TRU Clearance?

    I am getting multiple emails per day from TRU regarding their clearance sales. Has anyone found anything good? I've given up on wading through their site.

    Site wise I haven't found much of anything of interest. I think a person would do best to roam their local store. While working at the one in Branson I found that 50% of older product was heavily marked down but wasn't labeled properly.

      I've been to Branson a ton and never have seen a TRU there. Is it in Springfield?

          The TRU Express was opened as a temporary store two years ago at the Tanger Outlet. Prior to that it was at the old "Red Roof Mall" where Kay Bee was for one year. It is now going to be a permanent store with a full remodel planned to start in the next few weeks.

            Yes I do remember the Express, forgot about it. So the Express will be permanent at Tanger now? My kids will be happy!

              Something about TRU's "sale" emails seem to scream "Ignore Me! No Real Bargains Inside!" I don't know what it is about their busy layouts, fonts, and web navigation, but it always seems to feel like a chore to wade through it all in hopes of finding a deal.

                  I get emails from ToysRuS U.S. every few days. Has to be at least once a week, and they coupons, but you cant use them in Canada, and I cant find any coupons for the Canadian stores. I checked the closest store last night and they had Mattel Retro figures that were left on sale for $7. They only had Shazam and Darkseid. There was one Black Adam but it was gone. I bought a Shazam before Christmas for $14, so last night I picked up two Darkseid figures and 2 more Shazam figures.
                  I was hoping they were going to have the True Legends Greek figures series but they didnt have them in the store, yet.

                      I keep getting tempted, but nothing I want online, the things I want have been "in store" only - Like the Munsters figures for a buck.

                      But I have not seen anything when I have rolled by the TRU in person.

                      Entertainment Earth on the other hand....Did 2 orders in 2 weeks. And now contemplating a 3rd...
