The clearance tags tell a whole lot. In the upper right corner, you can see how much the item is discounted by. For instance, this item is marked down 50% because there's a "50" in the corner. Also, if the price on the clearance tag ends in an $0.06 or $0.08, it will be marked down again. However, if the price ends in $0.04 then the item is final sale and won't be marked down again.

If a sale item is out of stock, just request a rain check! When the item is restocked, you can buy it for the sale price.
