The "secret end of bolt discount" also works on clearance fabric! The clearance prices aren't such a bargain these days unless you purchase when they are on sale for 1/2 off the clearance price. Then ask for an amount leaving less than 1 yard on the bolt and get the "remnant" for 1/2 off the current 1/2 off price! You may have to ask if they will discount the remainder, as some of the cutters don't know or don't offer it, and are pretty quick with the scissors. A nice woman at the fabric counter clued me into this when I told her I was getting fabrics for some pillowcase and dresses donation sewing. Sometimes I do ask how much is left on the bolt, then say I really only need an amount which leaves about 3/4 yard, and then ask about the discount if they don't offer it.
