Catch the Clearance! Find the Sale!

Are you a bargain buyer? Here are a few tips to help find the most for your money!



1. Always check the locals store ads. Yes, we all probably know this but in our busy world sometimes we forget! Check online or in your local paper. Not all stores put thier ads out on Sunday. Some stores ship out their new ads on Wednesday.

2. Coupons, Coupons, Coupons! Yes, you may think that coupons are for elderly, but no way! If you can save a dollar or two then...save it! It will add up! Check to see if what you are buying is on sale and find a coupon to use to get double the savings!

3. Know your store. Target for example places their clearance on the end caps. You can find great deals if you just look at the end. Also, if the clearance sticker number ends in an 8 it will be marked down again. If the sticker number ends in a 4 that is the lowest price they will offer.

4. Do you really need that item now or can you wait? There are times I find a great sweater for $25.00 but think..."is this really worth $25.00?" I find that if I wait a week or two, it either goes on sale or they start marking it down. 

5. Think to yourself....."Could I find this item cheaper online?" There are times we can find deals for cheaper cost on the store website and the shipping will be cheap as well. Or you can opt for the "ship to store" option at some stores and skip shipping costs all together!

6. Check to see if you have a discounted store in your location? Here in our location we have a store that sells Target and Walmart items at a cheaper value. Its sort of like a "Big Lots" store but with a different name. The store has an agreement with bigger namebrand stores to sell extra items or items that have moved out the store for a cheaper cost.

7. Lastly, go shopping with a friend or family member. having someone to scope out the sales/clearance always helps!
