Hi Collin! I know clearance can vary greatly from region to region, but I wanted to let you know about the clearance at my JCP store here in Michigan. Everything on the clearance clothes racks in kids and men’s was marked down to $2.97!!! They also had girl’s winter coats marked down to $6.97!!! I bought 6 shirts for my hubby, and for my girls I bought the following: 2 pairs of pjs, 2 1/4 zip fleece tops, 2 hoodies, 4 sweaters, 4 shirts, and 2 winter coats (see the picture above). Total with tax $79.86, saved $586.50!!!

Check out Erin’s awesome receipt below. Wowza! 😀

My mom went to Jc Penney yesterday and made out like a bandit. She paid $150 and saved over $1,160! She got a lot of clothes including a leather coat and it averaged out to be about $3 an item! Way cool! I will be looking this weekend for sure!

My friend was in the shoe dept @ JCP last week & picked up 4 pair of cute originally $70 shoes for $7.97 each. Luckily, she is a fellow bargain shopper & was kind enough to pick up 2 pairs for me 🙂 I looked online & one of shoes is currently on sale for $49.99 so online prices are not always the same as in store.

Plus, if you have a receipt for JCP, on the back should be an invitation for an online survey. After you onlineplete the survey, you will be able to print a 15% coupon for your next purchase!

They have the same kind of deals in the Washington, MO stores. I ended up there twice yesterday. They had girls holiday dresses, kids pj sets, boys heavy jackets and lots of other clothes for 2.97, the little kids section had footed jammies and other jammies for 1.97 and boys socks 6 packs and 3-6 packs of underwear for .97! I had the 15% off coupon to make it better yet. So I had 57 items and paid $122 and it says I saved $1400! Got to love that – and my kids are shocked on some items for a few years!

The JCP in Fargo, ND is getting ready for a remodel. So, A LOT of things are clearanced down to $2.97 and A LOT more will also be clearanced over the next few weeks. My husband works there so we get a 20% discount even after the clearance price! I’m not sure if this is happening at other stores or not, but you might want to keep your eyes open!

Bummer I was just at JCP and didn’t find any good deals. I did however go to sears and bought 6 new outfits for my daughter and paid $28.62 after taxes. I ended up saving over $300. It was a great find since she will be starting preschool on Tuesday. I’ll have to keep checking back at JCP to see if I find any good deals this weekend.

I love clearance at JCPenney. I recently bought 3 semi formal dresses (50.00 each reg price), 1 dress jacket, 4 pairs of winter gloves, 1 winter hat, and 1 scarf for less than 60.00. Finally got that little black dress for my closet!

I LOVE my local JCP! Just last Friday DH and I were shopping near some of the last of the Christmas stuff while the employee was marking things down. There was 1 7′ Texas pine tree with 400 “Locked On” lights still in the box for $91.97. That was 80% off. The original price was $459.99 !!!! She walked over to me and said she was just going to mark it down to $19.99!! Bought it for my oldest daughter who has been looking for an inexpensive but NICE fake tree. I saved $439 .

My target has items in kids section marked down to $1.00 and $2.50 and Old Navy had some items marked at around the same price. Went to JCP and wasn’t too crazy about their sale….it was so picked over and very few items in the sizes I needed. Thank goodness target came to my rescue and so did Old Navy!!

Tawney January 26, 2011 at 8:04 pm MST

Went yesterday to my store in the Philadelphia area and got a whole bunch of baby clothes for a baby shower. They had a lot of baby clothes for 1.97. Most of them were by Carters and Osh Kosh. Some were even 2 piece sets and I got a couple little jackets with hoods. About a third of of them them rang up for higher prices but the cashier had to overide them because the tag was marked down. Spent $17.73 in the morning with a savings of $142.27 and went back after work and spent $11.82 with a savings of $136.18.

Yes, watch while the cashier is ringing up. Not all of it is ringing up correctly, they may have to override.

Speaking of JCPenney’s, can I get a shout out for the cute little original store? Any Kemmerer residents out there? Once a small little department store . . . . now a huge chain of stores . . . . it makes me smile to see all the great deals everyone is getting!

Ask your store when they do markdowns if they aren’t already low prices. The sales clerk told me to onlinee back on Mondays because that is when they mark it down more. I snagged 1 pair of cords, 1 sweat shirt, 1 fleece, and 2 shirts for my son for less than $25 and I have the 15% coupon for the next trip.

I stopped today, here in Idaho, and picked up 4 reusable shopping bags for $.37 each. I love these and use them for gift bags, I would have gotten more, but that was all they had. I filled out my survery and will take my dd’s back in the am to try stuff on. DD 9 is a hard fit, so I wanted to make sure. They had jeans for $1.97, and I am going to cut them off, and hem them into shorts, if we can find some that fit.

No, it was the Idaho Falls store. I went back today, with my extra 15% off coupon and scored big for my oldest, she is so hard to fit, but we found short, long pants, shirts, jackets, and more, 25 items for less than $50.00, it was incredible.
