HL on Mira Mesa Blvd. in San Diego, CA has the clearance kits. Bright orange stickers on them.

Nothing on clearance as of yesterday. No 40% off on models, I was lied to last week.

I did pick up a flamingo pool float for $9.99...

The sale is every other week. The had them on sale last week which means they will be on sale next week.

That is what I was told by a clerk, he said "come back on Monday". I did ... no sale.

It's posted in their weekly newsletter if it's 40% week

FYI the presence of "clearance" with orange/red/yellow price labels is not related to the every-other-week 40% markdown.

Some (not all) Createx, Wicked and Vallejo paints reduced at my local store also:

I have to drive almost an hour for a Hobby Lobby so I don't make the trip often, usually only when we're in Waco for other business. So, when I'm in the mood, I'll just log on to Hobby Lobby website and order what I want.  If I order several kits, the shipping is really not terrible. All of the searching in the posts above made me wonder why we go to the store when it's so much easier, and arguably cheaper to order on line?

Sorry about the off topic post.

I go to the store because it’s 3 minutes from my house, which is also only 5 minutes from the local Michael’s and 5 minutes in other directions to the local demo derby, cars and coffee and the huge twice-annual auto swap meet.

My wife queried if the proximity to all this stuff I like was a deciding factor when we moved here…she should’ve known better than to ask a stupid question like that 😂
