    I'm always looking for a deal but only if I need or really want it, so yes I always check the clearance rack, shelf, section, area or lot.

        I check the sales rack, shelf or display if it has something on my 'buy' list. Since we as a family decided anything new that comes in demands something of similar size leaves...either trash, donate or sell we're mindful of new wants

          In fact, it is frequently the ONLY place I stop in stores like Burlington, Kohl's, Ross.....

              I'll second that.

                Certainly. That's generally where the best deals are. I shop very little but when I do, I definitely take a peek at the clearance stuff. The selection is usually very limited, but every once in a while, I find something I'm looking for.

                    I also get the item I went for, but I still check to see if that item might be on the clearance rack. If I go in for a pair of black slacks, for example, I look to see if there are any marked down. Or if I'm buying sneakers, I always go straight to the clearance rack first. If I can find something I like there, why not?

                      That is almost always my first stop. I try to buy everything during sales, at the outlets, or from the clearance rack. Is that wrong?

                        The clearance rack is usually the only reason I'm at a store. So, YES!

                          I always check the bargin bin/clearance section at the grocery store since I can modify my meals to incorporate what is on sale. If I go to Target or Walmart, I try to stay away from those sections unless there is something specific I need. Otherwise I just end up with a bunch of stuff I don't need, but it happened to be on sale!

                              What exactly did you do with 250 (252 to be exact) eggs?
