| How To Check Walmart Clearance Prices |
Method 1: The Technological Triumph (a.k.a. The App Approach)
In this age of smartphones and instant gratification, the Walmart app is your secret weapon. Download it, fire it up, and get ready to scan your way to savings! Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- Become a Scanning Savant: Locate the "Check a price" button in the app's "Store Mode."
- Channel your inner James Bond: Aim the camera at the item's barcode (that squiggly black and white line) and prepare to be amazed.
- Behold! The Price is Right (hopefully): The app will show you the in-store price along with the online price.
Pro Tip: Sometimes, the online price might be lower than the in-store price. Don't be shy! Show the app price to a friendly cashier at checkout, and they'll honor the lower price thanks to Walmart's price match policy.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Bonus points: Feeling fancy? Upgrade to Walmart Plus for exclusive access to additional clearance deals and the ability to scan items and add them directly to your cart for a speedy checkout.
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.

Method 2: The Old-School Sleuth (a.k.a. The Manual Method)
For those who prefer a more analog approach, fret not! You can still unearth clearance treasures the old-fashioned way:
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
- Channel your inner detective: Look for clearance sections throughout the store, often marked with bright signs and red tags.
- Embrace the power of observation: Scrutinize the price tags. Often, clearance items will have a reduced price clearly marked.
- Don't be afraid to dig: Sometimes, clearance goodies might be hiding in unexpected places, so don't be afraid to move a few boxes (within reason, of course!) to unearth hidden gems.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for clearance codes on the price tags. These can be anything from a simple "C" to a more cryptic alphanumeric sequence. While the exact meaning of these codes might be a mystery to us mere mortals, cashiers can decipher them and tell you the original price and percentage markdown.
Remember: Clearance shopping is a treasure hunt, not a race. Take your time, have fun, and don't be afraid to ask for help from friendly store associates. With a little bit of know-how and a dash of humor, you'll be a Walmart clearance pro in no time!
