    On halloween I stopped by to get some last minute clothes for a dummy and my thrift store was stocked wall to wall with brand new Halloween stuff.

    I talked to the manager and he said a lot of the big stores donate the items rather than placing it on clearance.

    If they donate it they can write off the full amount on their taxes (even if it is damaged or discontinued) and state they are helping the community.
    If they put it on clearance, they get only 25% to 50% of the total amount and lose valuable store space.

    I saw a lot of Target merchandise at our local Goodwill stores this year and was pretty sure, Propmistress, that's exactly what they were doing. After halloween this year they had quite a bit left over and the clerks were putting stuff in shopping carts to take off the floor the next day. This was before announcing any big clearance sales to the public.

    Our Spirit store closed the 2nd but only had clearance on the 1st.....
    Halloween Express told me they didn't even know if they were having a clearance this year.....but they did on the 1st, then they closed shop.
