Don't Forget Clearance Items!


Clearance Deals
Tuesday I drove my sister in law and her roomate to Albertsons.  I was not planning on shopping, but there were twice value coupons in the in store add!  I was on a quest- find something free.  I ended up getting a tube of Crest ProHealth Toothpaste. 
Clearance Price $1.99
-$1/1 Crest Pro Health Toothpaste 12/12 P&G
-$1 Twice Value Coupon
Total: -0.01

On this shopping trip I realized that often promotions and deals fill my shopping list, and I forget to simply check for clearance items.  I am setting a goal for this year- I want to be a more efficient clearance shopper. 

Using coupons to get clearance items super cheap or free could be a great way to use coupons that will expire soon.  I usually hold high value coupons and coupons that are for products I know I will purchase and hope for a sale or promotion where I can get the item super cheap or free.  When there is only a week or two left before expiration, I begin looking for 'the best deal'.   This could be the perfect time to shop clearance.
