10 Tips to Save More at Ross Clearance Sales
Have you been to your local Ross store lately? It is a literal treasure trove of markdowns on TONS of items and the perfect place to refresh your wardrobe as the seasons change. Plus every year they have a 49¢ sale that is just AMAZING to go hunting for new items!
Even with the discounted items, there are ways to maximize your savings – here's our top 10 tips to watch for as you shop at Ross.
Tips to Save at Ross
- Know what day to shop
Ross markdowns happen on Mondays, which means the best days to shop are Monday evening or early Tuesday morning before Senior Tuesday (details below).
2. Mark down senior day
Are you 55 or older? Tuesday is “Senior” day at many Ross stores (may vary by location) and those 55 or older can get a 10% discount on everything in-store. (Call your store to verify first)
3. Shop with confidence in Ross prices!
Ross promises to offer 20% to 60% off department store prices every day — and the comparison price is right on the tag.
4. Use coupons…. or not!
Unfortunately, Ross does not offer coupons. (If you find one, it's probably fake.)
5. Keep an eye out for “irregular” items to save even more
To get the best bang for your buck, be sure to watch for “Irregular” items throughout the store as they may be cheaper (they'll usually be marked on the tag)
6. Shop name brand items
Watch for amazing deals on name-brand shoes, cleats, sandals, and more! Check out our finds below and you'll see why!
7. Stock varies and changes regularly!
There’s no guarantee that what you see today will be there tomorrow, so if you find something you love, grab it while you can.
8. Don't shop if you're in a hurry.
Sometimes the shelves in the shoe and home department aren't always the neatest, so be sure and give yourself time to really look for those deals!
9. Share feedback with the store
After shopping, be sure to share your feedback for a chance to win $1,000!
10. No Ross near you yet? There may be soon!
Wondering if there are Ross stores near you? If not don't worry as one may be coming soon! According to their press release, Ross is planning to open at least 60 new stores this year.
The BEST part about Ross? Being able to wander around the store and see JUST how good of a deal you can find!

Ross 49 Cent Sale (COMING SOON!)
When it comes to saving BIG on designer brands, Ross Dress for Less and T.J. Maxx/HomeGoods/Marshalls and are my go-to stores. What's not to love about going on a treasure hunt and searching for items that you need (or didn't know you needed? 😂) and then paying a fraction of the retail price??! And when the 49 cent sale gears up in January – well, that's DEFINITELY time to go deal hunting!
Once a year, usually in late January, Ross has a HUGE clearance sale….
We expect the 2025 49¢ sale to start January 20, 2025.
You want to watch for these pink tags to score deals for ONLY 49¢.
We tend to start seeing HUGE markdowns in early January at our local Ross stores. These leggings above were just $0.49 (regularly $7.99!) and the Puma sports bra shown below was just $0.99.
The 49¢ sale is a FANTASTIC time of year to stock up on essentials at a really low cost. Most stores have clearance aisles too, so definitely head in and check those out! They also have a ton of dress clothes as well as winter coats marked down this time of year too.
To find the BEST deals, look for the HOT pink tag markdowns (layered on top of numerous other markdowns). This annual clearance event happens every January as they clear out last year's stock to make way for new items.
The 49 cent clearance sale is NATIONWIDE – however what you find will vary widely by store. Some stores get things marked down quicker than others – which means they're grabbed up by bargain hunters more quickly. Also, some stores will have been delayed in their efforts to mark things down, so there's a good chance you'll still find some Pink Tag clearance on racks toward the end of January and sometimes even into February.
We were able to spot a few 49¢ items at our Ross during the 2024 sale – and lots that were more in the $2.49 – $5.59 price range – but all were awesome deals! Like we mentioned below, we started seeing 2024 markdowns EARLY in January in store, so it's worth a trip early in the month of January to see what your store may already have before the sale even truly ramps up.
Pink Tag Clearance is scattered throughout the store – just look for the red Clearance Signs on racks and head towards them!
If you don't spot them right off the bat, here are some good places to look:
Food Items (Especially Christmas ones)
Hoodies (Men's & Juniors)
Winter Coats
Slippers
Blankets
Women's Activewear
Women's Dress Clothes
Kids Clothes
Underwear
Men's Gadgets/Games

If the sale started on 1/22, why are you just posting today 1/27? I went and almost everything was gone.
Well it’s 5:15 am in Victorville CA I plan on being at Ross when they open at 9 I will let you know how I did.
Is for all Ross store the pink tag sale?
To my knowledge, all of the Ross stores are doing it! 🙂
Love there skinny syrups! I use for coffee that’s really what it is. 0 sugar,calories but so good, trust me when I say you only need a tiny amount, I bought a pump and I only use not even a half. Just a little squirt. So cheap at 4.99$ compared to 14-15$ other places.LOVE THIS PLACE!!
Agree Shonda! Except lately it seems like they’re more like $7.99 per bottle – are you finding that where you’re located as well?
I found a couple of amazing .49 cent deals today at Ross in NC, a set of Christmas Queen Size Bed Sheets, 3 pack of beautiful Christmas gift bags, and a Christmas Norman Rockwell Plate with Cookies gift set. I was floored with the sheets! You have to look all around the store to find these gems.
Wow! Now that’s a great deal! 🙂
Where’s is this place the address
It should be at all of the Ross locations Laura!

Not in Springfield Mo.
Wish you could do email receipts as well as the paper style.
