The founder of Deal Soldier coined the term Hidden Clearance in 2019

The Origin Story

Nice to meet you, I'm...

Sean, founder of Deal Soldier, in a Walmart aisle. Sean
Founder of Deal Soldier

In 2019 Walmart was urging customers to download their new app on signs inside the store. I told my wife: "I wish Walmart hired me for marketing, I bet I can get millions of people to download the Walmart app."

I started using the app and making Instagram videos about "hidden clearance". It was a term I made up to explain clearance items that showed a lower price on the Walmart app. Fast Company credited me for coining the term here.

Fast Company

I remember one of my early videos hit 30 likes and I was beyond excited.

Over the years, I've built an entire social media presence under the name Super Unsexy and around the concept of hidden clearance. I've recorded videos visiting 20 Walmart locations over the course of days. (then spent a week editing the video lol)

I made videos for 5+ years with the motivation to help every-day people save money. That was my reward. I didn't post a single affiliate link in that time. I worked for free.

With an eye on the future, I launched Deal Soldier in 2024 with my wife Kathleen. As an avid follower of AI technology I see an opportunity to build something special that can help many people save money.

The viral 2019 video that started it all.

What Is Walmart Hidden Clearance?

Walmart hidden clearance is an in-store price markdown that is loaded into Walmart's register system but does not appear on the shelf tag, the Walmart website, or the app.

Not on the shelf tag.

Not on the website or the app.

The real price only shows up when an item is scanned in store, or when a yellow clearance sticker is physically on the product.

70 to 95%off is normal once you find one

I was in the clearance aisle in front of a stack of $80 heated blankets. The yellow tag said $79.99 originally, marked down to $35. I scanned one with the Walmart app just to read the description, and the in-store price came up as $15.

For years, this was the best kept secret among professional bargain hunters. Deal Soldier built the tools to expose it.

How to find Walmart hidden clearance

I never let a deal ruin my day. If I'm looking for something and can't find it in the store, I brush it off and move on to the next one. There are so many deals out there. It's a waste of energy to worry about spilt milk. Let's get the next one.

1
Search hidden clearance by ZIP code
Turbo Search pulls a list of items already discounted at the Walmart stores nearest you. No driving in blind.
2
Scan suspicious items in store
The free Walmart app scanner reveals the real in-store price, which is often far lower than the shelf tag or the online listing.
3
Look for yellow clearance stickers
Yellow stickers are the giveaway. They go on at random times. Members share photos and locations the moment they spot one.
4
Buy, save, or resell
Some members buy for their own household. Many resell online for 5x to 20x what they paid. The buy price is what makes it work.

Why Walmart hidden clearance does not work for everyone

Most pages about Walmart hidden clearance only show wins. Here is the honest picture.

Deals vary by location
Not every Walmart has the same deals on the same day. Members with several stores nearby find more, and members in smaller towns lean on the daily online markdowns, which work nationwide.
It takes consistent effort
Hidden clearance changes daily, so the members who find the most are the ones who check often. The tools do the searching for you, but you still have to act on what they show you.
It is not automatic money
The savings are real. This is not passive income. Resellers still handle listing and shipping, shoppers still drive to the store, and the membership only pays for itself when you use it.
A note from the founders

We do not pretend everyone gets the same results. What we promise is verifiable markdowns and people who answer when you get stuck. If it is not working for you, cancel anytime in two clicks.

Is Walmart hidden clearance legal?

Yes. You are buying an item at the price the store has set in its own system. Walmart sets the price, the register rings it up, you pay it.

If a sticker says one thing and the register rings up lower, the lower price is what you pay. That is normal retail.

Deal Soldier members have been doing this for years across thousands of stores. The proof is on this page.

I've talked with and shaken many employees' hands over the years. They love when you buy clearance. They usually say "buy them all." There is always new inventory coming in and they just want the shelves cleared.

There's a misconception that employees don't want you to find incredible deals. It couldn't be further from the truth. These items were marked on clearance for a reason.

Walmart Clearance Section Secrets

What Walmart clearance tags mean

$0.00
Yellow clearance sticker
The classic Walmart clearance tag. Item has been physically marked down. Shows the new price and the WAS price. The most visible form of Walmart clearance, but not the cheapest, hidden markdowns in the system are often lower than what makes it to a yellow tag.
$0.00
Red Rollback tag
Not clearance. A temporary price drop. Can come and go. Worth scanning anyway since some Rollback items also have a hidden clearance price loaded behind them.
SCAN
No tag at all (the real hidden clearance)
The price on the shelf and on the Walmart app may show one number, but the register rings up far lower. This is true Walmart hidden clearance. The only ways to surface it are scanning in store, or pulling the markdown list with a tool like Turbo Search.

When I'm in store, I walk down the main aisles and look down each of the smaller aisles scanning for yellow tags. Clearance leaves clues. If there are yellow tags in a section, there's a higher probability that a surrounding item is on hidden clearance without a proper price tag change.

Walmart Vs Other Stores

How Walmart hidden clearance compares

StoreStickerPenny dealsBest categories
WalmartYellowRare ($0.03 common)Tools, electronics, toys
Home DepotOrange / yellowCommonTools, garden, paint
Dollar GeneralPink / yellowMost commonToys, seasonal, beauty

I enjoy the atmosphere of Walmart the most, but every store has its moments in the clearance world. Home Depot might have the hottest clearance one week and Walmart the next. If you're a reseller, you never discriminate. You focus on the best opportunity at any given time.

Walmart's hidden clearance is wider in selection but the literal one cent finds are easier to land at Home Depot and Dollar General. Walmart's edge is the sheer volume of stores and categories with markdowns loaded into the register every single day.
