So, you are trying to find a K cups clearance sale? You aren’t alone.  Many people are searching for clearance deals, and aren’t always able to find them.  A clearance sale is usually driven by one of these events:

  • One or more specific flavors of a brand being discontinued
  • An entire brand going out of business
  • When a retailer accidentally orders too much of a particular type of K Cup
  • Events unrelated to an actual clearance.  Sometimes vendors are just pushing a sale to get new customers, and will call it a “Clearance Sale” just to draw attention.

Of course, with so many different websites where you can find K Cups, it can be difficult to find an actual clearance sale.   Here’s a few suggestions to help you with your search:

Leverage the power of Google Search

Many people are unaware that Google allows you to use some special operators when you search for items.  They may also be unaware of the power in using quoted phrases that narrow searches and make them more specific.  Some examples of things you can type into Google, and what the resulting query does:

Query What it means
site:amazon.com “K Cups” clearance sale This query searches only the amazon.com site, and also uses quotes to tie the letter ‘K’ and the word ‘Cups’ together to improve the accuracy of the search
“k cups” clearance -”counter space” This query has a special operator in it…the minus sign (-). Here, it keeps web pages talking about making enough “clearance” on your counter to fit a K Cup Brewer from showing up in the results.
intitle:”k cups clearance” Here we are using the special operator “intitle:” which will show us only pages where the phrase “k cups clearance” is specifically in the title.

 

For a full rundown of these special operators, see this page on Google.

Use Shopping Comparison Sites

One quick way to identify a clearance sale is to leverage a shopping comparison site.  Many of these sites have some great features, like being able to calculate any additional shipping charges and allowing you to compare the all-in price apples-to-apples.  There’s no single comparison site that is always better than the others, as the items as well as the search algorithms change every day.   Here’s a short of popular shopping comparison sites where you can search for clearance sales:

Popular Stores that Have Clearance Sales
While many brick and mortar stores have occasional clearance sales, the most mentioned one in K Cup circles is usually Bed, Bath, and Beyond.    Aside from clearance sales, they are also well known for providing coupons for 10-25% off of your purchase.  Their online presence doesn’t seem to have the same deals that they provide in-store, however.

In Closing
