Old Navy rarely advertises items under $5, but deep clearance racks and end-of-season sales make it possible to find quality basics and affordable fashion at absurdly low prices. Old Navy is known for great deals, but still — finding items under $5 feels like hitting the jackpot.
Right now, with inventory clearing out, several categories are hitting that magic under-$5 mark. Here are five of the best Old Navy items you can grab for less than $5, plus a few shopping tips to find more deals like these year-round.
Flip-Flops
- Price: $4.99
We’ll start with one that surprisingly isn’t a clearance item: Old Navy’s flip-flops are a reliable $4.99 all year round. Stock up on multiple pairs at this price if you have kids who destroy summer footwear constantly even in the winter (raises hand). Even if one pair doesn’t fit, you’re out less than the cost of a coffee.

EveryWear Graphic Ringer T-Shirt
- Price: $4.49
Old Navy’s graphic T-shirts can hit some incredibly low prices this time of year. At $4.49 during this clearance cycle, you can grab a variety of fun designs for up to 74% off.
The lightweight material works for summer or layering in cooler weather. At under $5, these make excellent additions to everyone’s wardrobes without the guilt when they inevitably get stained or outgrown.
Textured Bikini Swim Bottoms
- Price: $2.97 to $3.97
Mid-rise textured bikini bottoms in colors like lavender aura drop as low as $2.97, so it’s a great time to stock up for a winter getaway to a sunny beach or just save on summer shopping in preparation. Pair these with clearance swim tops at similar prices and you’ve built a complete swimsuit for under $10.
Pro-tip: Check both online clearance and in-store racks because sometimes stores have different inventory than the website. Keep in mind that if the item is a final sale, you will not be able to return it.
Printed Long-Sleeve Baby Bodysuit
- Price: $3.49
Baby bodysuits with prints like reindeer, ghosts or other seasonal themes hit $5 and under in the clearance aisle right now, and some designs come in at even less. These work as baby shower gifts or just practical additions to your own baby’s rotation.
Holiday-themed prints go especially cheaply after the season passes. Buying Christmas bodysuits in January for next December makes sense at these prices.
Gender Neutral Cozy Socks for Kids
- Price: $1.49
These snuggly socks aren’t just cute, they’ll keep you warm all winter long. And there’s no better feeling than a pair of thick, soft socks on a cold day. They come in plaid or novelty print, which means you can get a couple of pairs and still come in under $5.
Final Take To GO: How To Find More Sub-$5 Items at Old Navy
The bottom line is that most of these specific deals won’t last, but the strategies to find them work year-round. Here are a few key takeaways and tips:
- Shop off-season aggressively: January clears holiday and winter items. March dumps remaining cold-weather inventory. August starts clearing summer stock. Old Navy follows predictable seasonal patterns, so buying for next season at the end of a season gets the best prices.
- Check clearance racks in-store weekly: Online clearance updates constantly, but physical stores mark down floor inventory locally. What sits on racks in one location might be gone in another, creating opportunities for extreme markdowns that store managers want cleared.
- Use Navyist rewards and Super Cash strategically: Old Navy’s loyalty program stacks with clearance pricing. Super Cash promotions let you earn credit on purchases that you can apply to already-discounted items, essentially doubling savings.
- Size up for kids when prices hit bottom: A $4.99 T-shirt in next year’s size makes sense when you’d pay $15 for current sizing. Kids grow predictably — buying ahead at clearance prices beats paying full retail later.
- Check secondhand first, retail clearance second: Poshmark, Mercari and ThredUp sell gently used Old Navy items for $3 to $8. Combining secondhand shopping with retail clearance strategies means rarely paying full price.
- Sign up for email alerts: Old Navy sends clearance notifications and extra percentage-off codes that apply to already-reduced items. A 40% off clearance code on a $5 item makes it $3.
- Final sale means no returns: Most sub-$5 items hit final sale status. Know your sizing before buying. The savings disappear if you can’t use the item.
