Does anyone how the timeline for reduced priced items at Aldi?

So I saw they brought back those nice hdmi cables at aldi again but they're priced too high.
I previously picked up a marked down one at 3.99 for 2m not the best price but the cables are decent quality with gold tips and braided cabling and metal insertion holding points.

So I was wondering if anyone knew how the discount/Clearance procedure works for aldi?
Is it time based since they have specials each week?
Is it Quantity based they don't mark it down till theres only like 4 left?
or something else?

    I wish I knew, too.
    For what it's worth, it does seem to vary story-to-store, and does seem to depend on quantity sold in a given store.

    Many weeks after products first appear, I've done plenty of driving to buy some great stuff around half the original price.

    I believe the markdowns happen on a Wednesday when the new sale items also appear. Also they are moved to the front/centre of the store most of the time. Best bet as a true ozbargainer is to buy the item at full price if you really want it then buy it again if you see it marked down (then just exchange the original).

    No, there is no set timeline. I've seen items still there marked at full price after 3 or 4 months while heavily discounted at another.

    at my local store usually about 3 weeks after a $15 would be marked down to about $11.99 sit there for another 2 weeks then will drop to round about $3.99 to clear whatever is left.
