They&&num;8217&semi;re not that price as my store&period;&period;  They weren&&num;8217&semi;t marked at my store&period;&period; What state is this for&&num;8230&semi; 95&percnt; of the time these are the WRONG questions to ask&excl; This is a HUGE misconception about clearance and it&&num;8217&semi;s preventing you from saving HUGE&excl; So I&&num;8217&semi;ve put together some tips to help you save HUGE couponing clearance&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The majority of the National Stores &lpar;Rite Aid&comma; CVS&comma; Walgreens&comma; Walmart&comma; Target&rpar; ALL mark down the majority of their clearance items at the same time&excl; But ALOT of stores don&&num;8217&semi;t actually put signs up marking these items until WAY later&excl; So if you&&num;8217&semi;re just looking for the yellow&sol;orange clearance sticker to tell you what&&num;8217&semi;s on clearance&period;&period; HUGE MISTAKE and you&&num;8217&semi;re probably missing out&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<ol>&NewLine;<li>Follow Blogs like <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;facebook&period;com&sol;everyonelovescouponing&sol;">Everyone Loves Couponing<&sol;a> and it&&num;8217&semi;s Facebook Deal Groups &&num;8211&semi; When people find clearance at their store&comma; they normally will post a picture of it with the store&comma; so you can go to your store with the right coupons incase you find them in stock at your store&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>Don&&num;8217&semi;t get discouraged if your store never marks the clearance items&period; &&num;8211&semi; this is actually a GREAT thing&comma; because most people will think just like you USED to think&period;&period; that the item is NOT marked down&period;&period; But you&&num;8217&semi;ll know better&comma; and will rarely run into empty stock&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>ALWAYS make sure to SCAN the items&excl; Some stores make this super easy&period;&period; CVS&comma; Walmart and Target all have in store scanners that you can scan the item at and it will tell you if it&&num;8217&semi;s clearanced&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>Make sure you get the EXACT item that&&num;8217&semi;s pictured as clearance online&period;&period; Down to the design of the bottle&comma; the kind&comma; the size&period; Sometimes items go on clearance just because of a packaging change&comma; which means the Pantene Smooth 13oz bottle with the BLUE label will be clearanced out&comma; but the Pantene Smooth 13oz Bottle with the SILVER label will NOT be&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>NEVER call the store to see if something is clearanced at your store&period;&period; ALWAYS make the trip&period; 9 times out of 10&comma; if you call to check if an item is clearanced&comma; if it&&num;8217&semi;s a good enough deal the cashier will most likely ALSO be interested in that deal&period;&period; Which means they&&num;8217&semi;ll either tell you NO &lpar;Even if it IS clearanced and IN stock&rpar; or will tell you YES but it will mysteriously be Out of stock by the time you get there&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>Save yourself the gas by going to the store with MULTIPLE clearance items you&&num;8217&semi;re looking for &lpar;Unless you already had plans to go shopping&rpar;  This way&comma; you have more of a chance of finding SOMETHING and not wasting your gas&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>SCREEN SHOT EVERYTHING&excl; I can&&num;8217&semi;t tell you how many times I saw a clearance item in one of the groups&comma; and I can&&num;8217&semi;t get my phone to load the Facebook Group to see all the details&excl; If you have a cell phone&comma; USE IT&excl; Go through the groups and websites and screen shot the actual pictures of the clearance items&period;&period; this creates a super easy VISUAL list of everything you&&num;8217&semi;re looking for&comma; what it looks like&comma; and what the price should be&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<li>Before you head to the store&comma; look at the items in your list and check the Coupon Database to see if there&&num;8217&semi;s a matching coupon&comma; so if you DO find it in stock&comma; you can save even more by stacking it with coupons&excl;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<&sol;ol>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;
