Off Season Shopping

Everyone knows this trick,but so many forget about it. Yesterday I was browsing through the clearance at work (Old Navy) and found a sweater for .47 cents. yes this is ridiculous as it was a 34 dollar sweater. I also found a simple tailored red long sleeve shirt, and a olive green lace top. All in all, with the addition of some sperry-like boat shoes I spent about 19 dollars.

Often brands have a certain wait time on their clearance items. I know from personally doing markdowns that clearance items get marked down about once every 2 weeks. now the real treasures are the off season finds. When a store sells out of an item and are left with one or two, they mark down their odds and ends. Sometimes items are found throughout the store, hidden behind racks or under piles, and even returned by a customer, thus causing them to be marked down even more because they are so past season.




Sometimes you have to do a little digging to find great deals. This means having the patience to go through sizes that are marked wrong, checking tags to make sure they are all the same price, and often dealing with the unorganized mess that hinders the name CLEARANCE SECTION.

Once the battle is over however, you will feel much more appreciative of your little off season treasure.

As always
-Happy Shopping. :)
