What to Buy in February
How to Shop for Free is not just about getting groceries and drug store items free, although you still will be able to score those items for free in February we want you to be aware that you can have more than that that with a strategic plan and a love for the hunt! February is a great month for clearance deals at all of the stores. Christmas is over and stores still have tons of left over merchandise to move out and make room for spring. Now is the time to hit up the stores and the outlet malls and start rocking out the bargains.
In order to shop for free or darn near close to it you need to grab the deals and stockpile items for as far out as you can. Planning at least a year ahead will save you thousands over the years and you will always be prepared incase of an emergency. As you know, here in New England you can never have enough winter hats and mittens stockpiled as we have often have snow in April… So while you are searching for deals be sure to keep an open mind and buy off season.
February is a great month to score clearance deals on winter clothing and snow gear. Winter clothing will be 75% -90% off in February so you will want to plan ahead for yourself and your family. Presidents Day weekend is my favorite time to score rock bottom prices. Why wait till next December and pay $12.00 for a no- name hat when you can score Under Armor and North Face brand gear for way less than that now. I normally start stocking up on brand name designer gear when it’s around $3.00 -$4.00. Check stores like Dicks Sporting Goods, Marshalls and REI for amazing clearance deals on brands you thought you couldn’t afford. I know it’s hard to be thinking of shopping ahead for next years Christmas gifts when you are wishing for spring weather but if you grab these know you will be so proud of yourself come next winter. Do this and you will have a few gifts already knocked off your “Christmas list of the future”.
If there is a wedding in your future February 15th is the day to hit the store and start looking for “love” themed items you can use for wedding decorations and bridal showers. They will start off at 50% off but you will want to stalk them until they get marked down to 80-90% off. Target is a great place to grab Valentines Day themed merchandise for dirt cheap. Get familiar with the Target Valentines Day Clearance Schedule to know when to ht the store for the best savings! Valentine’s Day clearance is always a great time to satisfy your sweet tooth as all the stores will have chocolate on clearance the day after. And at 90% off you will want to grab next years Valentines day cards for the kids too exchange with their classmates for years to come.
There are so many deals to be bad all year long but February is one of my favorite months to clearance shop. No matter what store you go in you will be sure to find clearance on just about everything. Happy Hunting!
