90% Off CVS Clearance

Hey deal hunters! So, you're probably here because you've heard whispers of those legendary CVS clearance sales. And let me tell you, they are REAL! I recently stumbled upon some incredible finds, bagging shoe polish, shoe laces, and even conditioning oil for a whopping 90% off. But it's not just shoe care; I've seen everything from sewing accessories to lint rollers marked down significantly. If you're looking to save big, here’s how I navigate the CVS clearance maze to snag those hidden gems. First things first: where do you even start looking? Don't just glance at the main aisles. My go-to spots are always the end caps – those displays at the end of each aisle. They often hold seasonal or overstocked items that are about to be, or already are, on clearance. Also, scour the regular aisles but keep an eye out for those distinctive red or yellow tags. Red tags usually signify a temporary sale, but yellow tags are your golden ticket to clearance heaven! Sometimes, stores will even have a dedicated clearance section, often near the back or by the pharmacy, so don't be afraid to ask an associate if you can't find one. Understanding the markdowns is key. You'll often see 20%, 50%, 75%, and yes, even 90% off! What I've noticed is that items often go through stages of markdowns. If something is at 50% off, it might eventually drop to 75% or 90% if it doesn't sell. It's a bit of a gamble – do you buy it now at a good discount, or wait and risk it being gone? For essentials like shoe paste polish or a shoe shine sponge that I know I'll use, I usually grab it at 75% off. But for something I'm just curious about, I might hold out for that epic 90% markdown. Beyond shoe care, what else should you be scanning for? I've found great deals on seasonal candy and decor right after holidays. Health and beauty items, especially discontinued lines or older packaging, can also be deeply discounted. And as the OCR showed, don't overlook practical household items. I've personally saved a ton on things like sewing kits, lint rollers, and even small storage solutions during these clearance events. It's not always the glamorous stuff, but saving on everyday necessities really adds up! Timing can make a difference. Many CVS stores tend to do their markdowns on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. It's not a hard and fast rule, but if you can swing it, checking out a couple of different locations mid-week might increase your chances of finding freshly discounted items. And always, always, always use a price scanner if you see a yellow tag that looks too good to be true, or even if it just looks like a regular price. Sometimes the shelf tag is outdated, and the item rings up for much less! And here's my pro tip for maximizing savings: stacking those deals! If you have any CVS ExtraCare coupons or ExtraBucks, try to use them on top of clearance items. Sometimes manufacturer coupons can also be applied. Imagine getting a 90% off item, and then using a $1 coupon on top of that – practically free! It takes a little effort, but the thrill of a super-cheap haul is totally worth it. So next time you're near a CVS, pop in and take a good look around. You never know what amazing clearance deals you might uncover. Happy hunting, and share your best finds with me!
