Home Depot Penny Items — Clearance Finds Ringing Up $0.01 In-Store – Only $0.01
Admin Home Depot’s clearance system quietly drops discontinued items to $0.01 — and shoppers are finding them on store shelves right now.
What you’re getting: Discontinued and clearance items in Home Depot’s system drop to $0.01 — the final markdown stage before removal; PennyRecon’s tracker lists 136 live penny items with receipt-confirmed $0.01 rings across 47 states (updated Oct 17, 2026); Shopper receipts from Oct 18–20, 2026 show items still ringing up — tools, appliances and seasonal finds; Shelf tags lag the system price — the only way to confirm is scanning at self-checkout or a price-check kiosk; In-store only, and stock varies completely by store. Penny items get pulled from shelves once staff spot them, so an item reported today may be gone tomorrow. This is a treasure hunt, not a guaranteed deal.
How to claim
- Check PennyRecon’s current penny list for items reported near you and note the SKUs.
- In store, hunt the yellow-tag clearance endcaps, seasonal and garden sections for those items.
- Scan each find at self-checkout or a price-check kiosk — if it rings $0.01, it’s a penny item. Be polite: stores may decline a penny sale since the item was meant to be pulled.
