I see stuff like in in several stores. My local K-Mart about once a month has a table of "manager's specials" where you can buy stuff for pennies on the dollar. The most common is Christmas stuff on Dec. 26, but women's summer shoes were selling for $1.50 a pair in Oct. and mens' shorts were selling for $1 a pair recently. I also have a local franchise hardware/furniture/household store that has unadvertised specials. I just bought a 19 piece set of Stanley screwdrivers for $6, because the packages were dusty. My local Walmart used to do it more often with canned foods when they changed suppliers. An obvious "out with the old- in with the new" kind of sale where you could buy 32 oz. jars of jelly for $.33. It always pays to keep your eyes open.
