Many shoppers
love to take advantage of the sales that take place around the various
holidays. Yet in most cases it is the time right after the holiday when you
will benefit from the most savings. One exception to this rule is the Black
Friday that occurs the day after Thanksgiving. It is considered to be the
biggest shopping day of the year. You can definitely benefit from tremendous
savings but you have to be willing to fight the crowds and get up very early to
get the best deals.
Jewelry is
commonly on sale the weeks before Valentine’s Day. This is because many men buy
their wives and girlfriends beautiful bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and
engagement rings during this period of time to surprise them on Valentine’s
Day. In the weeks after Valentine’s Day though you can save at least 30% on the
same items. Now, I am not recommending that you delay giving your sweetheart
their Valentine’s Day gift late to save money. But you can benefit from such
sales by getting quality jewelry at a bargain price to give on a birthday, at
Christmas, or for any other occasion.
Easter clothing
isn’t the cheapest thing to purchase, and the larger your family is the more
expensive it will be. Yet right after Easter all of those pretty dresses and
little pant suits are very cheap. You can buy them to use for other occasions
throughout the year. They make good clothes to wear to Church and weddings
without costing you a fortune. You can also purchase them for the following
year to save you plenty of money.
From the day
after Thanksgiving that we talked about through Christmas Eve, shoppers are in
a frenzy getting the perfect Christmas gifts for those on their list. It can be
stressful and it can cost you a fortune. Many people are willing to pay more
for gifts this time of year because it is a necessity and they really are more
interested in getting their shopping done. That is until the credit card bills
start rolling in!
To help reduce
the amount of money you spend on Christmas gifts, try shopping for them all
year long when you find sales. How many times have you seen something on sale
and said to yourself that would be the perfect gift for a specific person? Take
advantage of these opportunities and store all of the items you pick up in one
location. This way you always know where to find them. Using this method you
can give wonderful gifts to those on your lists without spending more than you
have to.
Don’t forget to
take advantage of those great sales the day after Christmas as well. This is
another opportunity to pickup gift items that you don’t want to pass up. You
can even buy items for yourself without feeling guilty. Those perfume gift sets
will be at least 50% less the day after Christmas. I buy a couple of them in my
favorite fragrances so I don’t have to buy perfume throughout the year.
You can take the
expense out of shopping if you take advantage of holiday sales. If you plan in
advance you will find that the actual sells after the holiday has passed are
much better than the sales prior to it. If you enjoy shopping as much as I do
then you will be very happy to find out how much money you can save on items
you will eventually need to purchase anyway.
