When I Say I Only Went Into Walmart For Two Boxes of Hot Tamale’s Candy [LITERALLY] I Came Back Out With Way More Than I Expected. However, We Do Love Target but Walmart Can Be a Fun Trip When Done Early Tuesday Mornings. I So Happen to Go In On a Monday Morning and There Were Already Clearance Racks Full, Meaning They’ve Just Got Started, (if it’s full right lol) Yk When It’s Too Late Your Size Already Be Gone, Especially If You’re Average Size. Good Stuff Be Swiped Up Quick!
... Read moreOkay, so you've heard about Walmart clearance, but are you really maximizing your savings? As a fellow parent and primary household shopper myself, I know the struggle is real when it comes to budgeting for everything our families need. That's why I'm obsessed with finding those amazing yellow-tag deals!
My original post mentioned going early, and I can't stress this enough. Beat the crowds and get first pick! Tuesdays are often rumored to be great for restocks and markdowns, but honestly, any weekday morning can be a goldmine before items get picked over. If you see full racks, that's your sign they've just started marking things down – perfect timing!
Beyond the obvious clothing racks, don't forget to comb through other departments. I've personally found so many incredible finds for my kids! Think girls' hair accessories like cute bows and headbands, trendy sunglasses with fun animal cases (cat, dog, bee!), and even adorable girls' clothing and backpacks – I'm talking pastel tops, skirts, shorts, and even character-themed items. For the little ones, look out for baby clothing in sizes from 0-3 months up to 24 months, and don't miss the fuzzy jackets in the boys' section (I spotted some in teal/mint green and burnt orange!).
And for the home, especially if you have little eaters, check out the kids' dinnerware sets, plates, tumblers, water bottles, and lunch boxes. I've also spotted kids' bedding like character blankets, throws, and sheet sets on major markdown. Even unexpected gems like oral care products can pop up on clearance – every little bit helps when you're stocking up for the household!
Here are my go-to tips for a successful Walmart clearance hunt:
Look for the Yellow Tags: This is your number one indicator. Sometimes items are hidden on regular shelves with just a yellow sticker.
Check End Caps and Seasonal Aisles: These are prime locations for items being cleared out.
Scan with the App: Use the Walmart app scanner to double-check prices. Sometimes the shelf price isn't updated, and the app will show the true (lower!) clearance price.
Don't Hesitate: If you see something you need or love, especially in a common size, grab it! Good stuff, especially popular sizes, gets swiped up FAST. My advice? If it's full, they've just started. If it's sparse, you might be too late for the best deals, but it's always worth a quick look.
Think Ahead: Clearance is perfect for stocking up on birthday gifts, holiday presents, or even next season's clothes at a fraction of the cost.
Finding these deals makes shopping so much more satisfying, especially when you're managing a family budget. Happy hunting, fellow savvy shoppers!
