Top 5 Discounted Clearence Items

Do you like deals? Do you get excited when you see signs that say 30% off or half price? When you go to your favorite store do you head straight to the clearence rack? If so, I have a secret to share with you!

From time to time, Close To My Heart decides clean house by slashing prices on retired items. The wearhouse can only hold so much so they purposely set the discount low enough to clear off some shelves. These items show up in the Clearence section of my website.

When this happens, the news spreads like wildfire among the consultants and their customers and the products fly out the door. T’his means that if you see something you like, you need to order it while it is still available. 

NEWS FLASH: A ton of products were recently added to the Clearence Section!!! These are not old dusty things from the 90’s…these are recently retired items that are still trendy and fabulous. I just placed my order and thought you may be interested in my top 5 deals:

#5 – Valentine’s Day Treat Bags

Yes, that’s right. Just in time for the holiday of love, the Cut Above Treatbags are half price! For jus $7.48, you get 10 bags ready to assemble and fill with candy.

These kits are super easy to put together. Simply fill the plastic bag with your candy, then fold the cardstock wrap around it. Choose a round cancy like Rolos or Kisses to decorate with the stickers before you fill. 

Note, Christmas, birthday and halloween treat bags are also being clearenced! Follow this link to see them all.

#4 – Jackson Assortment (and matching comlements)

Whether you are an outdoor person or not, the Jackson collection makes you want to go camping. Don’t you want to find a cute little camper like this one and head out for the wilderness?

In addition to the camper, the Jackson assortment includes 4 other metal and enamel shapes. Hurry — these are 40% off so they will go fast. You will also want to check out the coordinating Jackson Complements which are also deeply discounted. These cardstock weight stickers are perfect for your more rustic memories.
