Clearance Items:
- Frozen novelties – New flavors and packaging will be introduced in April which means mark downs on the “old stuff”

- Spring Clothing – Believe it or not, retailers will start moving out Spring fashions to replace them with Summer trends.
- Outerwear – Selections on coats, gloves, scarves, etc. have been picked over, but keep an eye out for the remains of a good deal.
