clearance shopping

Buying reduced merchandise

Clearance shopping is hunting for items marked down for quick sale, typically merchandise a store wants to move out—seasonal goods, discontinued lines, damaged packaging.

The appeal combines bargain-hunting with treasure-hunting: I found this dress clearance shopping for twelve dollars.

Clearance racks and clearance sections are the designated zones, often at the back of stores.
