Looking for the absolute best deals in store? Head in on Sundays and Mondays when Old Navy marks down the prices the most. If you're looking for markdowns on the clearance rack specifically, consider shopping on Wednesdays for the best deals.

While it may vary from store to store, you can often time tell when an on-sale item will be marked down even further by checking out the ending digits on the tag. If a clearance item is marked with a 7 or a 9 at the end (like .47), it's most likely final sale.
