Wait for the storewide sale

Old Navy runs frequent storewide percentage-off promotions — often 40% or 50% off much of the store. Prices rarely need to be paid in full: if there's no sale today, one is usually only days away.

Add items to a list and wait for the next event rather than buying at full price. For basics especially, the difference between a sale week and a full-price week is substantial.

Use Super Cash

Super Cash events give you credit earned on one purchase to spend on a later one, similar to Kohl's Cash. Buy during the earning period, then return during the redemption window for a second discounted trip.

Note the redemption dates so the Super Cash doesn't expire unused, and plan a follow-up purchase you'd make anyway to spend it — the same two-trip logic as our Kohl's guide.

Raid clearance for basics

End-of-season clearance on tees, shorts, and everyday basics runs very deep at Old Navy. Because these staples don't change much year to year, stocking up at clearance for next season is low-risk.

Combine a clearance price with a storewide code where allowed, and check the back-of-store racks for the deepest markdowns — the approach in our sale-rack guide.

Earn with rewards and the card

The free rewards program earns points on purchases that convert into rewards to spend later, and the store card adds cardholder-only offers and bonus points for regular shoppers.

Even at the free level, being enrolled captures value on spending you'd do anyway. Skip the card unless you shop the brand family often enough to use its perks and pay in full.

Shop the brand family

Old Navy shares ownership with Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta, and their sales frequently align or the same basic shows up across brands at different prices. It's worth a quick cross-check for staples.

For kids' and baby basics especially, comparing the current promotions across the family often surfaces a better price — see our kids and baby savings guide.
