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…
Hobby lobby Christmas. Walgreens summer. Kohls extra 50% off clearance sales.
I do very well at Macy’s. They honored discounts on top of mark downs.
You know any clearance section is awesome! But I usually find myself shopping at Walmart or Targets after holiday clearance sections. Those mid summer toy clearances are great at Target, too!
I’ve had great success with JCPenney mostly. Occasionally I find something good at Walmart as well.
TJMaxx, but that’s really only because that’s from the only stores I shop in.
Dollar general
I have been loving the Dollar General clearance sales. A few times a year, Dollar General offers an additional 50% off their already marked down clearance items. When that happens, I drive to every single DG in my area and load up on all kinds of goodies.
Kohls is amazing when they have additional 50% all clearance.
Kohls
Walgreens has the very best clearance deals. They often clearance out items at very deep discounts. My store uses orange tags for them. I find the craziest deals and look forward to going into Walgreens hunting for their clearance items and deals all throughout the store. Totally worth it and such a shoppers high!
I’m going to go with Target!
I love any clearance I can find, but Platos closet, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Marshall’s are my favorites!
I’m going to go with Target!!
Old Navy has the best bargains and digging through everything is always fun!
Kohl’s when they have an extra 50% off their clearance items!
Lane Bryant
I love Marshall’s clearance!
Fry’s has the best clearance. It doesn’t matter which day of the week I shop there, there is always something marked down.
I have been shopping clearance for 17 years. Walmart has been my #1. I have found Keurig, air fryer, Blackstone grills, ninja ice cream machine and juicer, toaster ovens, camping equipment, ice chests, toys, Legos,gel guns, exercise equipment, school supplies,end of holiday sales. I always plan it out. Use clearance to make teacher gifts and classmate gifts for every holiday. I use to wait for Black Friday ads. But now I use them as what is going to be clearanced out. Unless it’s something I really want I will buy. But I usually hold out for it to drop in price, everything does eventually. 😂
Walmart has some nice finds
Target is my favorite!
Costco! And, it really depends on the store manager. I am blessed to have two Costcos near my house (crazy, I know, but I LOVE it!). Anyway, one of the stores has amazing deals! I’m talking $3 blouses, $5 pajama sets, $6 capris, etc. You can walk into the other store and see those exact items and they’re several dollars more. But, I digress…. If you watch Costco prices, you can always find great deals there. It’s bar none- my favorite place to hunt for clearance deals!
My local Giant grocery store. They may not be large ticket items, but it’s fun to find 75% off items throughout the store.
Aldi!!
Kohl’s has the best – esp with their coupons!
Walgreens but I am really not that picky in regards to a deal!🤣
Kohl’s! Love pairing the clearance & 40% off coupons!
Target and Hobby Lobby have the best clearance near me.
Walmart usually has the best clearance section/aisle for me. Lots of great finds especially at the end of seasons.
Hobby lobby and Walgreens
Walmart has the best clearance or Kohls for clothes
I don’t have one nearby, but Kohl’s has good clearance! And Target’s holiday clearance, like people have mentioned.
I love Target Clearance!
Kohl’s
Target clearance, especially after holidays or the great toy clearances!
I love under armor outlet with 50% coupon. Good deals on good quality clothing.
Crate and Barrel clearance after Christmas
Walmart! I’m always scoring great clearance items from Walmart!
Old Navy has awesome deals for my family!
Walmart, because a lot of the clearance overlaps with Ibotta deals
I like Belk Department Store clearance. Sometimes there are name brand items for B1G2 free!
I love clearance deals. My favorite is after a holiday and stocking up for the next year. Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM 🤣
I would say Target. Also Walmart, especially right after the holidays.
Love Target for Christmas clearance and Walmart for online clearance.
Walmart always has great clearance. I got really cute boots for my daughter for only $3.
Walmart usually has pretty good clearance items.
Claire’s! I like their clearance because I can find stuff for me AND my 10 year old daughter there! Lol
Bath and Body Works has the best clearance when they have their two annual sales events!!!
Costco!!! I always get the best clearance deals on clothes. Plus when purchasing online, you can combine the clearance price with their “buy more save more” promotion and save even more! I stock up several times a year on clothing clearance and save a fortune on QUALITY clothes!
I love all clearance and check for it at every store I go to! But my favorite store is probably my local Meijer. I find things discounted at 70% and 90% throughout the year!
Krogers! My local Krogers has a section that not only has non perishable foods but health and but items and so much more
