Meijer Clearance Deals week of 1/22/2012

I meandered through Meijer today to take a look at their clearance deals.  I was surprised to see that there were items in almost every department with clearance sales.  Couponing aside, clearance finds can be a great way to save money.  Keep in mind that clearance items are rarely, if ever, listed in the weekly circular that stores produce.  In a few instances, such as Office Max, they will have a little flyer at the door to highlight some of these deals; otherwise, you're kind of on your own.  With that in mind, it is a good idea to kind of wander through a few aisles that you didn't plan to walk through--you never know what you might spot.

Here are a few of the highlights of what I saw at Meijer this week:

I stayed in the Home department for quite some time.  There was almost an entire aisle dedicated to clearance items there:

This is just one example of the tableware they had on clearance.  That's a 16-piece dinnerware set for about $25.  Not too shabby.

If you want to play off of the earth-tone theme, they also had a number of wood and dark metal kitchen accessories on clearance:

Wire boxes with handles, wooden bowls (I have a few of the bowls in this picture, but there were sets of them in various sizes also on clearance).

Here is a close-up shot of a few of the items such as wooden leaf coasters ($4.79), wooden spoons ($4.79), and a decorative wire bowl ($8.99).

 If you prefer color, they had their entire line of colored bakeware and bowls on sale as well.  There are bowls of all sizes there, ramekins (single or in sets), casserole dishes, etc. Prices start at $1.19 and increase from there.

They also had flatware sets on clearance.  Here are a couple of 20-piece examples from Pfaltzgraff and Cambridge (both priced at $20.99):

And in case you missed out on the IKEA clearance $7.99 wicker waste basket I posted about a few days ago, Meijer also has their wicker baskets on sale for...$7.99.

 

There were other deals as well:

Twin-size flannel sheet sets for $12.49 (full for $17.49)
Fleece throws (mostly Xmas-themed) $3.99

In the pharmacy section:
They still had a few cartons of the Tylenol on clearance.
