You can save money by doing your shopping early or really late. Some of the best deals can be found right after the 4th of July. Then some retailers will have disappointing numbers for the back to school shopping and will cut even better deals on their already marked down prices. So if you don’t shop in July, you might want to wait to the first weekend after school has started back. Your kids might not have the new threads to sport the first week of school, but you will be able to buy them even more clothes if they can hold out that first week. They will be sporting their new threads the 2nd week of school while most of the other kids will start repeating their fashion appearances. So if you can convince your kids to wear the old clothes for a week, you will really like the after school start sales, when the really, really good deals can be found then.
Now my school days have long been over and gone, but I need to do some shopping. I think I am going to hold out for a couple of more months, so I can take advantage of the “school season has started sales”. It’s not always a guarantee that these specials will come, but it is a guarantee that the retailers try to earn every penny they can for this time of the year.
