Meijer Clearance Section

Okay, so you saw my recent Meijer clearance haul, right? Finding those Special Savings of 75%OFF or even 90%OFF is such a thrill! But I often get asked, 'How do you find these deals?' and 'Is there a Meijer clearance schedule?' While it's not always a super strict, published schedule like some stores, I've definitely picked up on some patterns and tips that help me consistently score amazing finds. First off, let's talk about the 'schedule.' From my experience, Meijer tends to refresh their clearance sections, especially in non-food departments, mid-week. Tuesdays or Wednesdays are often good days to check, as this is when new markdowns might happen after weekend sales. However, this isn't a hard and fast rule, as individual store managers can also decide when to clear out inventory. What's more predictable are the seasonal clearances – think post-holiday sales (after Christmas, Easter, Halloween) where you can find decorations, gift sets, and even seasonal snacks at huge discounts. Also, keep an eye out as seasons change; summer items like SPF 50+ sunscreens (I once saw DRUG FREE SPORT items marked down significantly!) will go on clearance as fall approaches, and vice-versa. So, how do you actually spot these incredible deals? The number one thing is to know what you're looking for on the price tags. Meijer clearance items usually have special yellow or red tags, or sometimes white tags with a clear CLEARANCE SECTION banner at the top, just like in one of my recent finds. Often, these tags will explicitly state the percentage off, like 50%OFF!, 75%OFF!, or even that glorious 90%OFF!. They'll also clearly show the You Pay! price, which makes it super easy to see your savings right away. Don't just glance; really examine those tags! I always make a bee-line for specific areas. The main clearance aisle is a must, but don't forget the end-caps in every department. I've found everything from a fancy MAGNETIC LEO WOVEN CHANOELIER (seriously, 50% off!) in the home section to Multi-Surface cleaners at 90 % OFF! on a random end-cap in household goods. Here are some departmental hot spots: Health & Beauty: This is a goldmine for things like skincare, hair products, and even over-the-counter medicines. I’ve snagged Nasal Spray and Blood Glucose Strips (for a family member) at deep discounts. Seasonal: As mentioned, after major holidays or changes in seasons, this area is decimated with deals. Home Goods/Kitchen: From small appliances to decorative items like that chandelier, you can furnish your home for less. Toys & Sporting Goods: Great for gifts or stocking up, especially on DRUG FREE SPORT items for kids. Electronics: Keep an eye out for older models or open-box returns. My best advice? Be a regular! The more often you visit, the better your chances of catching a fresh markdown. Always use the Meijer app or a price scanner to double-check prices, because sometimes an item might be on clearance but the tag hasn't been updated yet. And don't be afraid to politely ask a store associate if they know when their department typically gets new clearance items. You never know what gems you'll uncover! Happy hunting for those Special Savings!
