has an app now.
99%Gold is the floor badge. 99% and up means the ladder is out of rungs: whatever happens to the item next, it does not involve another tag.
You already know a .08 ending is the floor and a Costco asterisk is a deadline. You already drive to the second store when the aisle number is right. Goatavo takes the part that lives in a group chat — tag endings, reset mornings, bay codes, on-hand counts — and makes it searchable across 58 chains that publish shelf-level data.

Decode the tag
The cents on the end are the whole message.
None of this is retailer policy — no chain publishes its markdown ladder. It is a decade of shelf photos, receipts and register checks, cross-referenced by people who walk the same six stores every week. Goatavo ships that map with the sample size and the hit rate printed on it, so you know when to trust it and when to wait.

Targettake it now
Tag reads.08
You are standing at the floor
Target's clearance ladder walks 15 → 30 → 50 → 70 → 90, and the cent endings walk down with it. Hunters read a price ending in .08 as the bottom rung: the next move is a salvage pallet, not another cut. If you want it, you take it standing there.

Tag reads.04 / .06
One more cut is still coming
A four or a six on the end puts the item mid-ladder. Of the tags we followed to their next price, 68% dropped again before the shelf emptied, on a median of 11 days. This is a watch, not a buy — set the alert and let it fall.

The last price Walmart prints
Early cuts still land on odd cents. A round .00 under a yellow clearance sticker is where the markdown engine stops — there is no lower number for it to print. The sticker over the shelf tag is the tell, not the shelf tag itself.
6,240 clearance stickers · 87% of .00 tags never dropped again
Costcotake it now
Tag reads.97
Manager markdown, that warehouse only
A .97 ending means this specific club cut it, not corporate. The price is real and the quantity is whatever is on that pallet — two warehouses eleven miles apart routinely sit $40 apart on the same item, which is exactly why the store you check matters more than the SKU.
2,180 .97 sightings mapped · 41 confirmed in the last 24 hours
Costcowait / last chance
Tag reads✳
The asterisk is a deadline, not a discount
A small star in the top right corner of the sign is the community's death star: the club is not reordering it. The price may not have moved at all. Once the pallet is gone the item leaves the warehouse, which is why regulars buy the case instead of the unit.

Home Depottake it now
Tag reads.06 → .03
Read the ladder off the last two digits
A yellow tag means clearance. A .06 ending is a further markdown with room left underneath it; .03 is usually the last stop before the item drops to a penny and gets pulled from the floor. The bay code printed on the tag beats the app's aisle every single time.
9,110 yellow tags · .03 → penny in a median of 19 days

Final clearance, and it still stacks
Kohl's walks apparel down through .99 sale prices, then puts a yellow clearance sticker ending in .97 on it. That is the end of the markdown line — but it still takes a 30% code and still earns Kohl's Cash, which is how a $9.97 sticker leaves the store at $6.98.

The Tuesday cliff
DG walks an item to 50%, then 70%, then a flat dollar. What comes after a dollar is not a price: the item leaves the system on a Tuesday morning and scans at $0.01 while the shelf tag still says $6.00. The tag never changes. That is the entire game.

Star in the corner, penny on the end
Sam's marks items it is not bringing back with a small star on the signage, and its clearance endings run to .01 rather than Costco's .97. A star with no markdown behind it is a watch: the median gap from star to first cut is 12 days, and the first cut is usually the deep one.

Point your camera at a tag. Get the ladder position back.
Scan the barcode and goat tells you which rung you are on, what the item did at other stores in your radius, and whether the community has ever seen it go lower. Where a pattern is thin, it says so.
Reset day
Every chain marks down on a schedule. Almost nobody prints it.
Target walks its departments across the week — kids and electronics on Monday, women's and home on Tuesday, toys and beauty on Wednesday, shoes and décor on Thursday. Home Depot pulls seasonal bays before the pro rush. Dollar General's list turns over at 6am Tuesday. Walk the right store on the right morning and you are the first person to see the tag.
Set it once. It wakes you up on the right mornings.
Pick your stores and your departments and the alert names them — “Mueller resets shoes and décor at 6am, four things on your list sit in those two departments” — instead of 400 notifications from a group that covers the whole country.

Store view
Filtered to one store, down to the shelf
Open a store and you get its clearance, not the internet's. Target Mueller has 41 clearance rows this morning; ask for 70%-and-up, $40-plus off and two-or-more on the shelf and 13 survive, sorted by discount with the aisle code and the minute each count was taken. It is the view you were building by hand with three browser tabs and a photo of a shelf.

The aisle map is the product.
A deal site can tell you a price. It cannot tell you that D07 has six filters on the pegboard at eye level, that F11 is mid-reset and worth a second lap at nine, or that B has been walked twice today with nothing over 50% off on it. Contributors map aisles once and every hunter after them inherits it.

Shelf truth
A claim without a timestamp is a rumour.
Every row carries the DPCI, the aisle, the on-hand count, the number of people who have confirmed it since, the minute of the last scan, and the lifetime accuracy score of whoever posted it. When a shelf goes empty somebody marks it empty, and the row goes amber instead of quietly lying to the next person who drives over.
8 of 41 rows · Target Mueller · sorted by discountEvery row carries a timestamp. Nothing here is “last week”.
Confirmations, not upvotes
A confirmation means somebody scanned it at that store after you posted. 51 confirmations on the Pegasus row is 51 separate scans in aisle C08, not 51 people who liked the photo.
Accuracy is public and permanent
Post a count that the next three people cannot reproduce and your score drops. aislewalker sits at 97% across 1,204 finds — that number is why her aisle codes get driven to.
Empty is information too
Marking a shelf empty earns the same credit as finding it full. The Casper row above went to zero 12 minutes ago and nobody else is going to waste the trip.
How to read a card
Gold means you are standing at the end of the ladder
The badge earns its color from the percentage and nothing else — not the store, not the poster, not how excited the poster is. Gold starts at 99%, because a final markdown is worth a detour. Green is the house color for saving. A countdown, a household limit or a batched alert is always amber, never green.

The people who walk the aisles
Written by hunters, checked by hunters
Clearance data has never come from a company. It comes from someone standing in front of a pegboard at 6:40 in the morning. Goatavo's only job is to make that person's twenty seconds of work useful to everyone else on the route.

Why not just keep doing it the old way
You are already doing this. It is just spread across five tabs.
A Facebook group, a lookup site, a screenshot of somebody's receipt, a pinned post from 2021 and a notes app with four aisle numbers in it. Here is what actually changes.
Questions
Before you join
The six that come up in the first minute of every clearance thread. If yours is not here, founding members get a direct line.
Or ask goat — it will tell you when it hasn’t checked something.
Is the tag decoder actually reliable?+
It is community observation with a sample size printed on it, not retailer policy — and we show you the hit rate rather than hiding it. The Target .08 read held on 91% of the 12,480 tags we followed. Where a pattern is weak we say so and mark it as a watch instead of a buy.
Where do the on-hand counts come from?+
Retailer inventory endpoints where they exist, plus scans from people standing in the aisle. Every count carries the minute it was taken and the accuracy score of whoever took it. A count from 40 minutes ago and a count from Tuesday do not look the same on the card.
Do I need to know what a DPCI is?+
No, but if you do, it is right there on the card, and you can paste one into search to check every store near you at once. Home Depot bay codes, Walmart item numbers and Costco item numbers work the same way.
Will this get my store's clearance cleared out by everyone else?+
Finds are scoped. You choose whether a post goes to your stores, your city, or the whole feed, and the default for a single-digit on-hand count is your radius only. Hoarding a good aisle and burning it are both bad outcomes.
What about penny items?+
Penny items get their own list, their own verification rules and their own etiquette — a penny item is a system artifact, not a sale, and how you handle it at the register matters. It has a whole page.
How much does it cost?+
The feed, the tag decoder, the reset calendar and the community are free. Pro lifts the caps — instant alerts instead of batched, unlimited live store checks and full markdown history per SKU. Founding members lock the launch price for life.
