Quick Answer

The “We Made Too Much” section is Lululemon’s official sale page where overstock items are discounted—but sizes and styles sell out quickly.
From my experience, the key to success is checking early, knowing your size, and buying fast.

In short:
👉 Shop early, know your size, and don’t hesitate—popular items disappear quickly.

1. What “We Made Too Much” Really Is

The “We Made Too Much” section on Lululemon is not a typical clearance sale.

It usually includes:

• overproduced inventory
• seasonal colors
• discontinued variations

You can browse it here:

Key difference vs normal sales:

2. When and Where to Find the Best Deals

2.1 Best Time to Check

From my experience:

• New items often drop early morning (Thursday in many regions)
• Inventory updates happen quietly—no big announcements

2.2 Online vs In-Store

If you want the best selection, online is your best bet.

3. How I Shop It Efficiently (Step-by-Step)

3.1 Know Your Size in Advance

Sizing can vary slightly across products.
If you’re unsure, try items at full price first before relying on sale purchases.

3.2 Filter Aggressively

Use filters for:

• size
• category (leggings, bras, etc.)
• color

This saves time and prevents decision fatigue.

3.3 Act Quickly

If you hesitate, items will likely sell out.
Popular sizes disappear first.

3.4 Focus on Core Products

Look for:

• leggings (like Align or Wunder Train)
• sports bras
• staple tops

These offer the best long-term value.

4. What’s Actually Worth Buying

Not everything in the sale is equally valuable.

4.1 My Rule

👉 Buy items you would have paid full price for—not just because they’re discounted.

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Buying the wrong size (no easy returns on some items)
• Choosing bold colors you won’t wear
• Waiting too long to decide
• Assuming all items are “good deals”

From experience, the biggest mistake is buying based on price instead of usefulness.

6. Who This Sale Is Best For

Best for:

• shoppers who already know Lululemon sizing
• repeat buyers
• people looking for staple items at lower prices

Not ideal for:

• first-time buyers unsure about fit
• people who need flexible returns
• shoppers looking for full size availability
