Here’s where our Hip team is shopping for clearance…
“I really don’t have the patience for store clearance and will just filter sales/deals online if I need something and want to try and get a good deal. That said, you can normally catch me at the Target Christmas clearance section. It’s the perfect time for me to stock up on pretty wrapping paper, ribbons, gift boxes, etc. that I would never pay full price for and then I know I’m all stocked up for the next year when it quickly rolls around.” – Sara
“KOHL’S!! I get to save big on brands that aren’t eligible for coupons for the boys like UA and Nike and adidas, AND I get to upgrade my wardrobe and get the styles I loved so much when they were full-price but on clearance! It’s not always packed full of out-of-season items either! And when they do the extra 50% off, deals are INSANE!!” – Jenna P
“Target is my fav store to shop for clearance home goods and holiday merch (Christmas & Halloween specifically). I only buy holiday merch when it goes on clearance. Followed by Books A Million! They always have tons of sale books (even newer ones), board games, toys, and giftable items perfect for even picky teens!“ – Liz
“I love checking out the clearance sections at nurseries. In most cases, some fresh soil, a little trim and a good feed/watering is all it takes to perk those plants right back up. And that means I can buy more. 😉🪴“ – Cass
“I have only ever shopped it online, but Walmart Clearance finds constantly blow my mind. I’ve gotten so many insane steals under $5 and $10 for great products. Entire outfits, shoes, bags, kitchen accessories, beauty, you name it.
Another one isn’t exactly a store, but a yearly find…the clearance beauty/skincare sets right after Christmas! (At Target, Walmart, Ulta, etc.) So many beauty sets are already amazing value and because they tend to have holiday packaging or Christmas themes, you can get the same great products/formulas for way less.“ – Monica
“Anthropologie clearance is my weakness. Specifically the in-store when it’s an additional half off. The candles and cute clothing are fantastic there. 🥰🥰🥰“ – Lina
“I’m with Lina on the Anthropologie clearance. I’ve bought $200-$300 dresses for $15. I shop it online and live for the extra 50% off. However, I need to take two of those dresses into the store to have the security tags removed so I can wear them somewhere besides the house! 🤣 I also love the clearance at Draper James, ASOS, and Walmart.“ – Cara
“I loooooooove Old Navy clearance!!! I seriously go and find the best deals! Most of the time I buy something for someone else because the price was so good (hello, $2.99 jeans!!)” – Alli
“You can frequently find me trolling the clearance sections at every store I visit, but I find particularly great deals at HomeGoods/TJ Maxx/Marshalls stores.” – Kelli
“I second (or third, or fourth 😉) the Target clearance—especially the after-Christmas clearance!
Probably seems strange, but I enjoy checking out the clearance at our Kroger store. It’s a “marketplace” store, so we have groceries, clothing, home goods, etc. Sometimes things are on clearance because they’re seasonal, packaging changes, store resets, etc. I always try to do a quick run-through of the area on a shopping trip to see if anything catches my eye. I don’t spend a lot of time digging through the items, though (but they have it pretty well organized that you don’t necessarily have to dig either!) I’ve found name-brand kids’ games for $1 or $2, kitchen organization items for a few dollars, and some pantry dry good items that still had 6+ months left on them that were seasonally packaged! 🙌 ” – Jessica T.
YES same as Jessica! I love DIP brand clothes LOL! And ours has had a lot of clearance lately. I put together a fantastic baby gift with clearance diapers, baby products, and a bumbo chair for like $20 the other day for one of my husband’s coworkers and the plant/flower clearance is always good at my store.” – Lina
We can’t wait to hear where you all are shopping for clearance steals!
Stay tuned for more Hip Birthday giveaway posts all week long! 🎉 Until then, let’s get back to the deals…
Barnes & Noble. They have some big discount clearance sometimes. I got many games.
Kohl’s
Kroger, hands down. I love their mark down section. It’s only a 4 foot section, but almost always has great finds
i love the Kirkland brand! never fails to meet my exopectations and the quality is always as good as the name brands!
I used to find a lot of good clearance items after the holidays at most stores, but anymore, they will reduce items by 25% to start, and it eventually gets to a decent price around 75%. I found lots of great deals when Riteaid used to have the clearance rack, but they have closed all of the stores in my state, so I don’t find great deals like I used to!
American Eagle/Aerie
Kohls
Kohls
That’s a hard question!! Probably Walmart because that’s the store I visit the most now.
I love digging through Kohls for clearance deals!
Kohl’s has the best clearance section.
Definitely Kohls!
Kohl’s half off the clearance is the best! I find jewelry, clothes, home goods, and shoes.
Frys can be great or nothing. Same at Walgreens. So it’s a tie.
Kohls
Kroger
Love my Kroger clearance! They mark down produce daily, so I’ve gotten great deals there.
American eagle clearance centers
Target!
Old Navy
Walmart or Kohl’s
Target or Old Navy
Kohl’s by far hands-down is the number one for clearance items
I love TJ Maxx clearance.
Kohls used to but they closed up. I’m so sad!
The Ross 49¢ clearance sale!! Hip2save always gives me the heads up!! ❤️
Tj Max and Marshall’s
Wal-Mart because that is where I am at most frequently.
Kohls
Kohls if you can find Nike in the size you need.
Kohls for the win!
Francesca’s! They’ve got beautiful things on clearance all the time. Their rewards program is wonderful too. Clearance + rewards = almost a steal!
I’m a big fan of the clearance section at Publix, you never know what you might find at a really good price!
TJ Maxx or Sam’s Club!
Thanks for the prize!! Y’all are the best!🥇
Kohls for me!
Target if you catch it just in time. Costumes 90 % off. Perfect for random school spirit them dress ups
Also Kudos to them for keeping price scanners handy 🙌🏻
I have found the best stuff at Kohls! I don’t think I’ve paid more than $5 for a shirt for my husband for the last few years. Thank God he’s a good sport about it!
Walmart. I can almost always find something in walmart clearance i need or want
Aldi markdowns for food are my faves. Like a little treasure hunt.
Target has the best clearance items. I can find really good stuff from clothes to food marked down to clearance.
walmart
Target for holiday clearance, definitely!
But, for more regular clearance shopping, our family loves the clearance section at Safeway. Specifically the bakery clearance spot. My teens LOOOOVE that section and we may or may not have come home with lots of goodies (including a personal Cookie Monster(ish) cake for my then 16 year old. 😂 My husband even made ‘coupons’ for “1 free bakery item” that he slipped into our kids’ Christmas stocking one year. 😆
Definitely Walmart or Target. And Home Depot for clearance plants!! I love the discounted plant rack!
Ross stores has great deals
Target clearance. Because even when I know I don’t need it, their clearance is so good I have to buy it!! And their freebies are even better!!
My Kroger always has great stuff on the clearance shelf cheap
I have found some great buys at United Grocery Outlet.
Depends what I am shopping for, but Target for any after Holiday sale.
Walmart for clearance plants. I love to save those mistreated plants.
Kohl’s and Old Navy…love to search their sale sections!
