also, look for clearance shelves on every single aisle including the outdoor garden areas. Usually every store has 2 main clearance shelve endcaps in the middle of the store. Those usually get heavy traffic so penny deals are hard to find there. But there are often other clearance shelves that are not as visably marked. You can often find better deals there. It also depends on how good your store's particular employees are at correctly tagging items. At one of the stores i go to, it seems the employees are very lazy updating the price tags. So many items sit on the shelf at full retail price tags, even though they have dropped to clearance prices and will scan cheaper at checkout...even a penny sometimes.
