Tips to finding good deals.

At least a few times a week I'll have someone ask me "How do you find all these deals!?", so I'm going to share a few tips with you. 

  • Get to know your store. Every store usually keeps clearance in the same spot. Target for instance keeps most clearance on the end caps on the backs of the isles(the part closest to the wall). Walgreen's is similar, but unlike Target who keeps clearanced items in the same general area as like items, Walgreen's puts all clearanced items together. 
  • Pay close attention to clearance prices.  Just because its on clearance, DOES NOT mean its a good deal! Most clearance tags have the original price and the new clearance price. If a product is originally $4.99 and is marked down to $4.25, its not that great of a deal! If your patient, wait a few days and chances are it will be marked down more!
  • If you don't NEED it, don't buy it!!  Just because that life size green polka dotted dancing teddy bear is marked down 90% off AND you have a coupon, doesn't mean you need to buy it!  Stick with things you'll use. Buying unnecessary things simply because it was a good deal ends up making it not a good deal because you spent money you didn't plan on spending on something that your not going to use anyway!

I'm going to leave you with that. Next time your out shopping i hope you take my advice into consideration. Does anyone have any tips they want to share? Comment below or on the Facebook Page!
