Shop After a Big Holiday to Save on Clothes
Many shops would like to tell you that shopping on a holiday or the eve of a holiday is the best time to shop. In fact, the best deals can be received immediately after the holiday.
As noted by the personal finance blog Money Ning, stores tend to stock up on goods ahead of the holidays, but then remain in surplus. This could lead to a drop in prices that will compete with the sales themselves when the holiday is over and stores have to clear out their inventory. The perfect time to shop.
I seem to find the best deals right after the holiday, whether it’s Christmas or even Halloween. This year I went to Baby Gap and Gymboree the day after Halloween and bought matching shirts for my daughters for $ 3-4 each, socks for $ 0.49 a piece, and shoes for under $ 4. As a result, prices were about 80% lower than recommended. At a thrift store, I can usually find shirts for $ 2-3, but if it had a tag, these lovely thrift store workers would tag them with a few dollars (insert eye rolls here).
It doesn’t even have to be a big shopping holiday. Halloween, for example, isn’t necessarily a big holiday for shopping for clothes, but stores know you come for candy and costumes, so they may have a surplus of other items. After the holiday hustle and bustle, it’s worth checking out their stores to see what they have.
