We were only there a few minutes so no line at checkout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2813267 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 22:26:48 +0000 PinkElephant 2813267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: Was your store pure chaos with people looking for bargains? I was considering going this weekend not for the supposed deals, but because I need something. DD3 has become OBSESSED with DD2's favorite baby doll, and DD2 is not being at all accommodating - I'd like to get my hands on another STAT, but don't want to brave the masses with three kids in tow :) :)</p> <p>I also kind of want to buy some Journey Girls accessories I'd had my eye on to distribute to my girls over the next few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2813224 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 19:07:42 +0000 skipra 2813224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran in for something small today and the "deals" were so poor. Everything was marked way up and almost everything was only 10% off. I saw clothes were 20% off but it was off the full Carter's price which usually you can find at least 40-50% off. And the Paw Patrol Sea Patroller was 10% off $60 where it's only $45 usually. So not worth it unless you need to use gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2813115 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 11:45:35 +0000 raspberries 2813115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you call the one closest to us, they say everything is "up to 40% off" but a friend just went and said most stuff is still just 10% off. I kind of think they worded it like that to trick people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812938 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 17:32:56 +0000 SweetiePie 2812938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did because I had JUST received a BRU gift card a week prior to the news breaking. And I was afraid of losing it.<br /> No good deals when I used it, but I also mostly used it to stock up on necessities (formula and diapers for my newborn) which didn’t seem to have many good deals at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812908 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:34:08 +0000 Rocker2014 2812908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Babies R Us last weekend and they were only doing 10% off, which made a lot of things more expensive than usual due to frequent sales. I did a little better at Toys R Us, a lot of summer things that just came in were 20 - 30% off so I picked up some basics like bubbles and chalk for a good price. I got some Star Wars things for my nerdy DH, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812906 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:29:54 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2812906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Babies R Us is due to close this weekend so they're really clearing out. I got a couple of cute toys but nothing crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812723 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 05:20:48 +0000 Adira 2812723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went yesterday and most everything was only 10% off. It didn't really look that picked over yet. Guess I'll try again next week if they are still open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812722 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 04:56:54 +0000 ValentineMommy 2812722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local stores are only up to 10% off right now, so not too exciting. I did get a few things that were "toys r us" exclusives, or hard to find items, that I knew were on the kids wish lists.</p> <p>Yesterday however, I happened to pass by one of the other local stores (a babies r us) that was closing from the first round of closures. They had up to 70% off! There was barely any gear left, and almost all toys, but man did I clean up. I ended up getting $700 of toys for $125. Should put a big dent in Christmas this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812711 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 22:41:52 +0000 AngelicOne 2812711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My local store was in the 1st round of closures and was up to like 40-50% the last time I went, but like half of the Lego's weren't included in the sales. I went to another store on Monday and they were up to 30% off, but Lego's were included for 5% off. Got my nephew &amp; DS a few things for their birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812673 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:12:50 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2812673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went the day after they announced the closures to use a gift card &amp; liquidation hadn't yet started, but expected them to be picked over quickly once that started. They said use your gift cards asap, even though they give you until the 21st. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812671 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:06:06 +0000 catgirl 2812671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the stores around us were part of the original closing list so they are up to 70% off BUT they were so picked over so quickly that there isn't much left. And like others said certain brands never dropped more than 20% off, so not worth it.</p> <p>I did grab a bunch of birthday cards and gift bags at 60% off and DH got a video game - we had a gift card to use up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812669 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:02:51 +0000 mrsrain 2812669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stocked up on stuff for summer birthdays, got up to 30% off at our store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812655 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 16:33:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2812655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my gift cards when they announced they were definitely closing, but I shopped online since it’s kind of far from me and I figured they would likely be picked over anyway. Even online a lot of stuff was sold out. Plus some stuff was screwy with shipping but apparently it’s all on its way now. I wouldn’t wait for a deal to use gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812639 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 15:25:01 +0000 Iced Tea 2812639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some brands state in their merchant contracts that they cannot be discounted without manufacturer permission, or cannot be discounted more than a certain percent. So, yes, some brands are never going to be a deal. </p> <p>We went ahead and used our gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812630 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:53:15 +0000 Mama Bird 2812630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! We need some stuff they have, but not sure about the best time to shop. It does sound like it's going to be another month at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812623 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:43:03 +0000 kiddosc 2812623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went in to use up some gift cards before the liquidation even went into effect and they were already starting to look picked over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812622 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:37:29 +0000 bhbee 2812622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone mentioned that a lot of their big name brand items are on consignment, ie they’ll go back to the manufacturer. So those may never go on great sale :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812618 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:18:07 +0000 Littlebit7 2812618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don’t wait if you have gift cards! I’d use those things ASAP. The stores around me went to liquidation and literally they were cleared out in 72 hours. Bankruptcy is a pretty chaotic process...use this gift cards now. Even if tru says you have until April 21st, nothing is guaranteed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812614 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 13:59:21 +0000 KT326 2812614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh stopped in to get a birthday present and both items he bought were excluded from the liquidation sale- a water table and lego set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812613 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 13:58:15 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2812613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have, it was only 10% off, but I had $55.00 on gift cards. I'm tempted to go again in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-shopped-at-toys-r-us-or-babies-r-us#post-2812612 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 13:54:40 +0000 dolphin 2812612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>during their liquidation sale? Any good deals? The Toys R' Us by me is only 10% off this week. Waiting for a bigger sale! </p>
