It’s fairly simple but you may have to search a bit. Some stores have an area designated for clearance items that may have been returns, overstock, seasonal, etc. Other stores simply mix them in with the regular stock. The key is look for items that end in $0.97 – that means that item is on clearance and won’t last long!
Yesterday we found these All-In-One Back to School kits on clearance for $3.97. We already had these items in our school supply stockpile but I think these would make fabulous donation items.
Here are a few other popular Costco posts here on TFF:
- Items I WILL buy at Costco: Gift Cards
- MORE Items I WILL buy at Costco…
- Items I would NEVER buy at Costco…
Do you have any other tips for spotting a deal at Costco?

The little asterisk in the top right corner is an indicator too.

Some other stores do it that way. IE: Academy puts their clearance prices to end in .88

Not all stores clearance the same items at the same time.

Any item with an * means we are not getting more in not necessarily that it is marked down.
