So here’s our forecast for the best ways to stay frugal while enjoying your October.
#1) Fall A-line
You can’t turn on your favorite daytime chat show without hearing about fall fashion and beauty trends. We hope you were taking notes while you watched, because those same trends are now on sale, both in stores and online. Do you adore the polka dot trend that seems to be calling your name? Head to Sears.com and check out their clearance section for slashed prices on outerwear, tops and bottoms, plus get an extra 15% off your $50 fashion purchase! In need of some new workout apparel? Gaiam.com’s outlet is brimming with items that are up to 70% off, so stock up. Don’t neglect your skin while scouring for bargains, because right now BathandBodyWorks.com is having their fall clearance event, where you’ll find lotions, scents and candles at up to 50% off.
#2) Something’s Cooking
One would think that with the holidays coming, retailers would increase the price of cookware. After all, in only a few short weeks everyone’s ovens will be filled with breads, sides and baked goods. However now is actually the best time to nab some new pots and pans. Why? Wedding season is now officially over, so there is that overstock that needs to be sold, plus the holidays will bring new cook and bake ware to entice gift givers. Here are three great deals to mull over: Ginnys.com is offering 10% off your purchase through December 31st; Williams-Sonoma.com is currently offering up to 50% off their sale items; and CutleryandMore.com wants to give you free shipping on your $50 order.
#3) Nice Jeans
It is dizzying to follow the denim trend scene, because, depending on the week, flares are the stars, while only a short time ago super-skinny jeans were the bee’s knees. Luckily for you, investing in a new pair of “it” jeans won’t cost you much at all, because there are deals galore, including: 20% off your PZI Jeans purchase; up to 50% off Rich and Skinny Jeans; and buy one pair of Mossimo jeans at Target.com and get $10 off an additional apparel item.
#4) Lovely Lingerie
Although the desire to slip into your tattered flannel pants for bed sounds enticing, why not surprise your honey by donning a silk nightgown or satin cami and pant set, instead? Find just what you’re looking for at Lingerie.com where you’ll get $10 off your $50 purchase and Fredericks.com,who’s offering sale items at up to 70% off .
Make sure to take a break from pumpkin carving and get some price breaks that will make you grin.
