How to Shop Clothing Sales



If you love buying nice clothes but don't have the budget to afford the most expensive brands, don't despair. Just plan ahead to shop clothing sales so you can find the very best deals.









Step
1



Ask a salesperson when the store does its markdowns and sales. Mark the information on your calendar so you won't forget.




Step
2



Sign up to receive store circulars so you can find the best buys easily.




Step
3



Request email notifications to help you stay abreast of specials and promotions.




Step
4



Shop online at your favorite store's sites. Sometimes you can get better buys over the Internet.




Step
5



Shop off-season. You can get the best markdown when you buy things that have been in the store for a while.




Step
6



Be creative. If you find a dress you love that is drastically marked down but it's a size too big, consider having a tailor take it in for a custom fit.




Step
7



Realize that shopping sales takes some patience. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to vie with other shoppers for the best deals.




Step
8



Consider opening up a store credit card to receive an additional discount off an item's final price.




Step
9



Shop often. If you become familiar with a store's merchandise and stop in on a regular basis, you may get the styles you love as soon as they are marked down.




Step
10



Become friendly with the store manager. You can ask if he or she will call to tell you when an item you are watching has the price reduced.







Tips & Warnings









Browse through your local paper for coupons at local department stores.








Arrive early on sale days to get the best selection.








Don't let a good price be the deciding factor on a clothing purchase. Make sure you only buy things you really love and will wear.
