Dollar Tree 25-Cent (Quarter) Clearance List

Below Dollar Tree's standard price points sits a 25-cent clearance tier — items marked down to $0.25. We're currently tracking 1,723 quarter-priced SKUs, updated 2026-08-21. These are easier to find than true pennies and still ring up at the marked price more reliably. They're also your best penny watch list: the 25¢ price is widely reported as the last stop before an item drops to $0.01 (it's a strong signal, not a guarantee). For the freshest movement, see the live price-drops feed.

Quarter clearance vs penny items

Penny items ($0.01) are fully discontinued closeouts that stores are supposed to pull. Quarter items ($0.25) are a markdown tier — cheaper than the usual $1.25+ but not "hidden." If you're after the deepest deals, check the penny items list; for everything cheap in one place, see the under-75¢ clearance list.

When quarter markdowns tend to happen

Dollar Tree doesn't run a fixed weekly markdown schedule (there's no set "penny day"). Instead, quarter and penny markdowns cluster around clearance events tied to the calendar — most visibly a big post-holiday event in January, when the previous quarter's seasonal stock is cleared out. Shoppers and store staff have described a "fourth-quarter clearance event" that marks a wave of items to a penny in the system early in the year, and seasonal aisles right after each holiday (Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day) are consistently the richest hunting ground. The practical takeaway: the 25¢ tier tends to swell as a season ends, so the best time to watch this list is in the weeks after a holiday, not before it. Our price-drops feed is the fastest way to catch a fresh wave.

FAQ

Does Dollar Tree have a 25 cent clearance section?

Dollar Tree marks select items down to $0.25 in its catalog. They're not always grouped into one physical aisle, so this list surfaces the current 25¢ SKUs (1,723 as of 2026-08-21) so you know what to look for.

Are quarter items guaranteed to ring up at 25 cents?

They're more reliable than pennies because they're an active markdown rather than a discontinued closeout, but the price you see here is Dollar Tree's catalog price — always confirm at the register.

Is Dollar Tree having a 25-cent sale, and how long does it last?

The 25¢ items here aren't a timed "sale" with an end date — they're ongoing catalog markdowns on specific discontinued or overstock SKUs, so items come and go rather than a storewide event starting and stopping. This list shows whatever is currently at $0.25 (1,723 as of 2026-08-21); check back, since the set changes.
