What Goes on Sale and What to Buy on Clearance in April

on
After really reading the grocery store sales fliers on line instead of just skimming them, I started to notice seasonal sales patterns, especially around holidays,  especially industry holidays like Earth Day. When I shop seasonally,  I’m able to keep my family in fresh fruit and vegetables for less when nothing is growing locally yet.  Shopping the April seasonal store sales doesn’t just apply to food. Many household items only go on sale in April too. It is a good time to start looking for that perfect Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Graduation gift because the prices will be higher on those items in May and June. If you are a thrift or consignment sale shopper, April is the time to hit the stores! Thrift store donations increase in April when people start their Spring cleaning. For extra savings, pair the sale with a coupon from my  printable online coupon database  (affiliate link) because money saving coupons often follow national sales cycles too! April Seasonal

 I know, I know. You don’t need a special holiday like Valentine’s Day to show your spouse or significant other how much you love them.

But I like to anyway.

The only problem I have with picking out a meaningful or thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift is that I’ve used up all of my good gift giving ideas during Christmas and by February, I’m out of ideas. 

You too?
