Now that the holidays are behind us, it’s time for the real fun to begin. If you are new to deal hunting or clearance hunting then you are in for a surprise. Did you know you can save 70-90% off retail price on items you can use year round for you and your family.
To help you save money and score all the deals, I have put together a list of the top 10 things to do in order to get the best deals and save you time and money.
#1 — Do some research. Now a days it’s easy to find dates on when stores will drop in price either online or social media. I have been clearance hunting for over 4 years now, and i have been keeping track of when the usual dates are. So down below I will have the estimated dates and stores to help you plan your week.
#2– Know what you are looking for. Trust me there will be price drops in pretty much every department in the store. So be sure to know what items are at the top of your need/want list. And head to that department first. For example I know that pet items are not big on my list. I like to head to the kids clothes/toys first then to personal care/beauty department.
#3– Don’t Over Spend. It can be easy to get carried away when it comes to clearance shopping— or really any shopping. Remember the point of shopping clearance is to save money, so buying multiple items that end up going unused or wasted just defeats the purpose. I have been guilty of this in the past, when you find your first few 90% off items it can feel like a rush to buy them all. Take time to think if you or your family can use them.
