End of Summer Deals

Fall has officially arrived but the cold weather seems to be taking it's time. I still see people wearing  short sleeves, shorts, and especially sandals. Which means, It's the perfect time to shop the clearance racks at your favorite stores. Even though you might not be in the mood to shop summer sales, it will be well worth it, once it starts to warm up again next year.  Plus, you can still wear summer items for a few more weeks before you store it away and whip out your sweaters!

Most stores still have summer merchandise and they have it priced so low! Anything from 75 to 80% off. I personally, like to see the 90% signs but, those are sadly, rare these days. Some of the things I can count on being on sale and always buy at the end of summer are:
Swimming trunks and shorts for the Hub
Short sleeve shirts and under shirts for layering in every season
Summer dresses and skirts
Sandals are something the stores NEED to get rid of so they are always good to stock up on
Swimming suits
Capris/shorts
And any random things you know you'll  use next summer and the store has it on clearance.

Here are a few of my "end -of-summer" purchases:

 JCPenny: 3.60 each shirt. Not the most amazing deal but, for layering shirts, I couldn't pass it up.

 Scoop neck T's that work great under Maxi Dresses (My daily wardrobe in the summer) And these would also work to layer with in the Fall/Winter.  I get bored with all the gray and black they sell all Winter.

 Tanks with lace on top and bottom.

 Rue 21: $4.00 Each            They were even quarter length so, I can wear them throughout Winter.

  They are made so you wear a shirt underneath and the pattern stands out more. Great buy!

 My Sister's Closet: Was 12$, Half off and I had a 4$ credit from selling something. I paid $2.41
I can wear this year round, add leggings and flats for fall, pointed knee high boots for winter and as is for Spring and summer :)

 My Sister's Closet: (Also summer clearance so, it was half off) I paid 6.00 for cute BUCKLE shorts

Rue 21 etc. Paid $4 bucks each.  I also got 3 shirts for the same price :)  All set for boating next year!

And there you have it, my end-of-Summer purchases so far. So go out to your favorite stores and head to the back of the store for the good clearance stuff. You do have to do a bit more sifting through the racks and it takes a little more time than just grabbing what you want. But, trust me, buying ahead for the next season, is the way to go. You end up spending about a quarter to a tenth of what you normally would. And, that to me, makes all the difference in our budget.
