Holiday Sales: Most department stores offer yearly holiday sales for Valentine’s Day, Mother and Father’s Day, Memorial Day, back to school, etc. You can almost always find great deals for about a weekend prior to the holiday, and same day sale.
Department store sales: Macy’s, JCP, Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdales. They’re usually advertised heavily on social media and TV commercials but to get ahead of the game, sign up for their emails to get sales dates beforehand.
Off-price stores: Stores like Ross and Marshall’s which already offer discounted name-brand merchandise, makeup and beauty usually offer even greater savings after the holidays. Sales are advertised heavily via TV commercials and as with department stores, you can sign up for emails for even greater discounts.
Wild card: Costco, Target, Walmart. You can score big on wholesale and retail stores. Target is known for bringing in new brands that are great quality at a great price. Walmart could be hit and miss but you can’t beat deals on graphic tee shirts, cargo pants, hats, sweatpants, and basic shirts. Costco is also a place where you can score name brand items at discounted prices. I’ve scored several great pieces there like Adidas sneakers, Calvin Kline jeans, and cozy cardigans and coats. It’s also a great place to stock on basic items such as socks, underwear, pajamas, and basic camisoles.
