Become a Clearance Aisle Sherlock
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
-
The Keen Eye: First things first, sharpen your visual acuity. Clearance items are often sporting a special tag, a beacon of savings just waiting to be discovered. Keep an eye out for those red slashes through prices, or the magical words "Clearance" and "Reduced to Sell." Pro tip: Clearance items sometimes like to play hide-and-seek, so don't be afraid to peek behind displays or explore those less-frequented corners.
-
The Deciphering Master: Not all clearance tags are created equal. Some might be a mere 10% off, others a door-busting 75%. This is where your inner codebreaker comes in. Learn the language of Lowe's discounts! A yellow tag might mean "get it gone yesterday," while a discreet sticker tucked on the corner could be your golden ticket.

Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
-
The Appliance Graveyard: Discontinued models or display appliances can sometimes be marked down significantly. Just make sure it still has all its parts and isn't a showroom zombie.
-
The Seasonal Shuffle: Spring is over? Summer clearance beckons! Snag those discounted patio chairs or fire pits for next year's backyard bonanzas.
-
The Aisle Ends (and Odds & Ends): Those lonely displays at the end of the aisle? They could be your ticket to a discounted toolbox or a random bag of discounted mulch (perfect for hiding those clearance-induced shopping sprees from your significant other).
Bonus Tip: The Lowe's App - Friend or Foe?
The Lowe's app can be a double-edged sword. While it won't necessarily show you clearance items specifically (they like to keep you on your toes!), it can help you check stock at nearby stores. Just because your local Lowe's is fresh out of discounted hammers doesn't mean your neighbor's isn't overflowing!
