How to find hidden clearance deals at Walmart
Hidden clearance deals at Walmart are real, but they are easy to miss if you only rely on shelf labels. Once you find a marked-down item, the next question is whether it's actually a good price. Scan its barcode with the free Walmart price scanner app to see what Walmart charges for it online today, then look up its price history on PriceWatchPro.
Why hidden clearance happens
Shoppers often report that clearance prices change in a store's system before the aisle labels are updated, so the register can ring up lower than the shelf tag. To see that price, use a price-check scanner in the store.
Step-by-step: spotting hidden clearance
- Look for clearance end caps, mismatched labels, or discontinued packaging.
- Check the in-store price with a store price-check scanner before you queue.
- Scan the barcode with our app to see the item's current walmart.com price, and check its price history on PriceWatchPro. If the store price is well below anything walmart.com has charged, it's a real markdown.
- Not buying today? Add it to the app's Watch List: the app checks the online price daily and notifies you when it changes. Or set an email alert on PriceWatchPro.
What the scanner app does
The app looks up the item by its barcode and shows its walmart.com price. Items on your Watch List are checked daily and charted from the day you add them. Download the Walmart price scanner app before your next trip, and read our Walmart hidden clearance guide.
