| How To Read Lowes Clearance Tags |
Step 1: The All-Important Yellow Tag
It's like a beacon in the sea of red and white! Look for the bright yellow tag – that's your first clue you might be on to a discounted diamond (or, you know, a discounted paintbrush). But hold on there, buckaroo, there's more to the story...
Step 2: The Mysterious Numbers Game
The yellow tag might have a bunch of numbers that seem like they were generated by a rogue calculator. Don't panic! Here's the lowdown:
- Item Number: This is like the item's social security number – unique and tells the cashier exactly what you're buying.
- Aisle and Bay Numbers: These are your treasure map coordinates to finding the discounted loot!
But where's the clearance price, you ask? Ah, that's the tricky part...
Step 3: Embrace the Scanner Savvy
Here's the not-so-secret secret: the clearance price isn't always printed on the tag! Gasp! Don't worry, though. Just grab a friendly Lowe's associate and have them scan the barcode. The magic of technology will reveal the glorious discount you've been waiting for.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Pro Tip: Downloaded the Lowe's app? Some have a barcode scanner that can do the trick too!
Step 4: The Art of the "Non-Stock" Whisper
Keep an eye out for the words "Non-Stock" on the tag. This means Lowe's is REALLY trying to get rid of this item, and the price might be ridiculously low. It's like a clearance fire sale, but for paint rollers instead of last season's clothes!
Step 5: Patience, Grasshopper, Patience
The best deals often appear later in the clearance cycle. If you see something you like, but the price isn't quite there yet, consider waiting a week or two. Those price reductions might just magically appear (and if they don't, well, you can always snag it at the current price – you win either way!).
Now you're a Lowe's clearance code-cracker! Go forth and conquer those discounts!
