How to Read the Target Clearance Tags
If you’re a frequent Target clearance shopper, pay attention to certain numbers on the tag. At the top right of the tag, you’ll see the percentage of markdown for the item. In the image above, the item is marked down 30%. If you look at the price and it ends with an 8, the item will be marked down again so you might be able to return and snag it at a lower price. If the number ends with a 4, buy your clearance item because it won’t go down anymore.
Want to know which days the markdowns happen?
Monday: Kids Clothing, Stationery, Office Supplies, Gift Wrap and Electronics

Wednesday: Men’s Clothing, Toys and Health & Beauty
Thursday: Intimates, Shoes and Housewares
