Best apps to find in-store clearance (2026)
Last verified: October 12, 2026
The short answer
There is no single app that sees every clearance price in every store. Clearance at Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart is often set store by store, so the price on the website is not the price on the shelf. These are the tools people actually use, and what each one is good at:
- Your store's own app (Walmart, Target, Home Depot): free, and the most reliable price for the store you're standing in. Scan the barcode.
- BrickSeek: the longest-running inventory and price checker by SKU or UPC.
- Penny: penny items and dollar-store penny lists, plus Home Depot and Lowe's in-store deals on its top plan.
- Drop: Clearance Finder: focused on Home Depot, Lowe's, Target and Walmart, with the aisle number. iPhone only.
- RebelSavings: free website, store-by-store clearance with unit counts.
- TrackDeals: clearance from many kinds of stores (clothing, beauty, pharmacy, home improvement) plus in-store prices, a barcode scanner, and the whole app in Spanish.

Which one to use
- You're already in the aisle at one store: use that store's app and scan the barcode. Nothing beats the store's own price for that location.
- You hunt penny items ($0.01) at Home Depot or dollar stores: Penny is built for it.
- You only shop Home Depot, Lowe's, Target and Walmart, on iPhone, and want the aisle number: Drop.
- You want free and don't mind a website: RebelSavings.
- You check stock by SKU across many chains: BrickSeek.
- You shop beyond hardware — clothes, beauty, pharmacy — want to scan in the aisle, get an alert when something you want gets marked down, use Android, or prefer Spanish: TrackDeals.
What TrackDeals does (and doesn't)
- In-store prices from Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Dollar General and CVS, next to online clearance from Kohl's, Ulta, Amazon, Macy's, 6pm, Sierra and DTLR.
- Scan a barcode in the aisle to see if it's really a markdown, with price history.
- Check Stores: which nearby Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, Target or Dollar General shows stock, before you drive.
- Price alerts on a product or a keyword.
- Every deal shows when its store last confirmed it.
- It does not give coupons or promo codes, does not list penny items as a category, and does not show the aisle number.
FAQ
Why is the shelf price different from the website?
Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart mark clearance down store by store. The website usually shows the national or online price.
Can any app guarantee an item is still there?
No. Inventory data lags the shelf. If an app shows one unit left, call or check the store's app before driving.
Are penny items real?
They are items a store has marked down to $0.01 internally before removal. Stores are not required to sell them, and policies vary by store.
