February and March are usually the times of year when everyone starts itching for spring. Obviously, the seasons officially change, and you’ve likely had enough spring-like days where you live to get you in the mood for warmer temps. And then there’s the fact that many people have simply had enough months of cold weather that you’re sick of wearing winter coats and boots each day!
But, don’t let that spring fever make you reject everything “winter” just yet: Now is a great time to stock up on winter essentials that you can use next year (or enjoy now until the weather fully warms up), and you can find incredible deals on winter items or simply old models and styles as stores clear out their cold weather inventory to make room for all things new. And since we’re always on the lookout for the best sales for you to shop, we’ve compiled a list of the best Winter Clearance Sales that will save you money on everything from winter coats to bedding.
But before you dive into sale shopping, take note of these tips for making the most of your end-of-season shopping:
1. Take Inventory
Before you get swept away in the rush of finding cashmere at 50% off and fur-lined boots at a fraction of their original prices, take a look in your closet, and think back on the past few months: What’s missing from your wardrobe? Did you discover a hole in your favorite scarf? Did you wear out your warmest hoodie? Then, make sure to shop specifically for those items you know you’ll need when the weather turns cold once again.
2. Size Up for Kids
Of course every parent knows: Kids grow like weeds! So make sure you’re buying a size up from their current sizes for items you want them to wear next winter.
3. Use Size Filters
Nothing’s worse than when you’re shopping online and find an item you love at a sale price you love even more, only to find there’s only one size left, and it definitely isn’t yours. To prevent that knife-in-the-heart clearance shopping moment, use the size filter to sort out items that aren’t the size you or your family need.
4. Plan Ahead
Are you starting a home renovation project this summer? Then go ahead and get your light fixtures now, while they’re on clearance. Know you’re going to do lots of camping in August? Look for the sleeping bag upgrade you’ve been wanting while it’s currently on clearance.
