Part 2 of our tips to help you save even bigger on exceptionally low deals.
Searching for more ways to achieve clearance shopping pro status? We’re helping you maximize your experience with a few shopping tips for super savers. Here are ways to prepare for your next bargain hunt so you can find even more for less.
1. Locate The Clearance Section
Clearance shopping takes strategy, and it is helpful to know what you are looking for in advance. Locate the Clearance section in your store before hitting the sales and find the best markdowns right off the bat. Pro tip: Keep your eye out for red and yellow Gabe’s Clearance signs with stars!
2.Don’t Limit Yourself
Once you’ve gone through the Clearance offerings, take a look around the rest of the departments. They’re filled with great deals, but you may also find an out-of-place clearance item, too. It may have been placed there by mistake, or by a shopper who changed their mind. Now, it’s your find!
3. Know When Clearance Happens
If it’s warm out you know: Sidewalk Sales will be happening soon. That’s when we have our biggest and best clearance deals outside starting as low as a dollar. When Christmas ends, get what you really want at our Annual Clearance Event, starting Dec 26 every year.
4. Sign Up For Rewards Programs

5. Shop Ahead For Kids Items
Prepare for growth spurts! Clearance is the perfect place to find seasonal styles and wardrobe essentials at reduced prices. Pro Tip: Shop for Kids two sizes up. Depending on the month, plan ahead for necessities like swimwear, footwear, and winter coats in addition to evergreen basics like t-shirts and jeans.
6. Set Reminders
Don’t forget about Clearance! Leave notes in your phone or calendar to remind you about upcoming Clearance events.
7. Organize Your Email
Inbox in overflow? Make sure to add Gabe’s to your address book so that you never miss an email, and create a folder in your email for offers so they are easily accessible.
8. Eat Before You Go!
Clearance shopping is no joke. Final tip: Prepare for the day of discounts by eating before your trip. If you’re too excited to wait (us too!) grab a snack at the Pantry section in store, starting at $1.
