Should You Buy Winter Clothes During Memorial Day Sales?

Four Reasons to Buy Winter Clothes This Memorial Day

It’s easy to get into the habit of buying what you need only when you need it, but there’s a better way. Being prepared for the future is always a good idea, of course, but there are other reasons to look ahead. 

1.  There Are Sales Everywhere

It’s no secret that major retailers — whether they’re online shops or department stores — run sales during most major holidays. Memorial Day is one of the hottest shopping holidays for clothing, because the winter season has just ended and brands are moving on to their spring and summer collections. When you buy winter clothes at the beginning of summer, the forces of supply and demand are on your side. Most people will be looking for warm-weather clothes, so that’s what stores want to stock. That means they’ll offer steep discounts to clear out the past season’s inventory.

2. You Can Stock Up for the Whole Family

Saving money on winter clothes during the start of the summer season lets you get more bang for your buck. Instead of wondering whether to prioritize outerwear, shoes or casual clothing, you can stock up on everything at huge discounts.

3.  You Can Ease the Cost of Christmas

There are two main problems with buying winter apparel during winter. First, everyone is shopping for those items, so the cost is higher and it can be hard to find items in your size. Second, with the holidays looming, the household budget is already taking a beating. Having your winter essentials prepared is helpful, but you can also get sweaters, scarves, winter coats and other commonly gifted items at knock-down prices and store them for wrapping near the holidays.

4.  You Will Find Big-Ticket Items at Low Prices

A good winter jacket or sturdy pair of snow boots can be expensive. Buying those big-ticket items during Memorial Day sales could save you a lot of money. If you know your children will need new jackets by Thanksgiving, this is the time to buy them!
