- JC Penney – has their new sales on the first and third Friday of every month.
- Old Navy – Clearance markdowns happen on Monday night so make sure to stop by on Tuesday to get the best clearance deal.
- Target – They mark down their kid’s clothes on Monday and women’s on Tuesday, Shoes on Thursday, and Accessories on Friday.
- TJ Maxx – New inventory comes out onto the floor on Mondays.

- Know how different stores mark their tags
- Old Navy – Clearance ends in a 7 or 9. Usually, if the price ends in $0.47 that is the FINAL markdown.
- TJ Maxx– The yellow price stage shows it’s the final markdown.
- Kohl’s – Uses a square in the upper-right corner to show it’s the final markdown.
- Take your time shopping and spread out your shopping
- You don’t have to get everything at once. Get enough to get you started and wait for the sales to start after the first day of school.
