I had to stop by KMart late last week to return something and decided to take a moment to stretch my legs since I had been working on a desk project all morning.  When I got to the toy section I noticed they had plastic over most of the back section near the ceiling with a water bucket at one end.  The roof had leaked and they were trying to clear the area.  There was a small box on the shelf of “damaged” toys on clearance.  The other toys may have been too badly damaged by the leak or previously sold.  I was able to pick up a couple a great items for at awesome prices.

Here is what I got on clearance at KMart:

• 1 Kellogg’s Disney Pixar Toy Story 3 Cereal – $2.99 markdown to $1.50
• 1 LeapFrog Click Start Computer Software Nick Jr (Dora the Explorer – “Friends!”) – $20.99 markdown to $1.00
• 1 LeapFrog Click Start Computer Software Nick Jr (Go Diego Go – “Learning Expeditions”) – $20.99 markdown to $1.00
• 1 LeapFrog Tag Reading System “Star Wars The Clone Wars” Book – $14.99 markdown to $1.00
• 1 Hershey’s Kissables Pens (4 Pack) – $1.99 markdown to $0.99
• 2 Hershey’s Kissables Magnetic Pads – $1.99 markdown to $0.99

Everything I purchased at KMart was on regular clearance or extra clearance due to the leaky roof.  Plus I received an additional $1.06 off of my total from my KMart Rewards Card. I spent a total of $5.20 including tax and saved $60.72 with a total savings of 92%!!!  I have never seen the LeapFrog books and cartridges marked down to $1 before.  They did have some water spots on the outside of the packages from the leak and shelves, but once I wiped them down they looked brand new expect for one spot on the back of the “Learning Expeditions” package!

Unfortunately, with the box of cereal I broke my No Grocery Shopping for a month challenge!  Opps!!!  I had been doing so well, however, the cereal doesn’t fit into any of my criteria as (a necessity, free, or for someone outside of my home).  My excuse (although not a good one) Toy Story 3 was the last movie we watched with our girls before heading on vacation and with it being on clearance for $1.50 I gave into the temptation to treat the kids to something special.  Hopefully this is the last little bump in the road!!!

These are some of the best deals I have found at KMart in a long time especially without using coupons!  If you are in the Greenville area you may want to check out the clearance deals at the KMart near Greenville Hospital.  I enjoy finding great bargains that can used as gifts!
