How to Shop Clearance Deals Like a Pro
Tips for making your money go even farther with the biggest deals—including 90% off department store prices.
Shopping clearance deals is always super fun, but there’s also a science to it. To make the most of what you get it’s best to have a plan. Our strategy? Shop timeless styles and think ahead about what you’ll need a year from now. And, at the Gabe’s Clearance Event, you’ll be grabbing deals at up to 90% off department store prices. Here are our best tips for what to buy now so you can save even more later.
Clothing
Hit the racks to stock up on the seasonal items and staples you’ll need next year. Shop specialties like holiday sweaters, coats, and swim gear based on when you’re shopping, and pick up classics like jeans, t-shirts, and accessories that never go out of style. For kids, shop a size or two bigger and pick items with stretch, just in case they grow more than you expect them to!
Shoes + Sneakers
Great deals on shoes are a must-shop: They’re an investment at the absolute lowest price. Experts suggest replacing sneakers every sixth months, so get a pair or two to tide you over to the next sale. For kids, shop their next sizes so that when they grow out of their shoes overnight (isn’t that always the way it happens?) you’ll be ready.
Toys for Gifting
Be the best on the guest list: Keep a stash of good-to-go birthday gifts and you’ll be less stressed as you assess your child’s chock-full social calendar. Pick items that are gender neutral and across multiple age groups, so you always have something great on hand. Bonus tip: Grab gift bags and wrapping to keep close by!
Décor
There are two great ways to shop clearance for décor: First, get the items you have needed and wanted for a while, like new rugs, pillows to freshen up your space, or wall décor. Next, score amazing savings on holiday-centric items for harvest, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick’s, summertime, or July 4, depending on when you shop.
Wrapping + Accessories
Post-holiday Clearance sales are the best time to stock up on the wrappings and trimmings you’ll be glad to have at the ready next year. Pick up gift bags, paper, and ribbons—all for much less than during the high-demand holiday season. One note: Store them someplace dry so they won’t warp before you need them!
Get Something for YOU!
If you’ve been trying to justify a purchase that’s solely for you, here’s your chance: The Gabe’s Clearance Event is the time to reward your patience with a gift that’s from you and for you. After all, you don’t just deserve something special—you deserve this deal!
