I'm relatively new to the frugal life and still learning!
I would like to start shopping off season for my boy's (14 and 3) clothes because I know I could save money. I already buy a lot of their stuff at thrift stores.
However, I don't go to the mall or any shopping centers anymore, as I am prone to impulse purchases and frivolous spending. I prefer shopping online. But...how do you shop clearance for things you actually need online? Or in a store for that matter. Do you just routinely check the clearance sections online or wait for sales announcements?
For instance, I'd like to score a discounted jacket for my youngest. Now would be "off season" for that item, but none of the stores I regularly purchase clothing from have any. Does that mean they won't? Do I just check every so often? Right now, the clearance sections are just random things that we don't need or aren't even that cheap.
I hope I'm making sense. Any advice related to clearance or off season shopping, online or otherwise, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
