Bargains & Loss Leaders in August

August 6, 2012 · 0 comments

This month, discounts center around office supplies, dorm essentials and outdoor clearance items.

  1. With back-to-school on the horizon, now is the time to stock up on an entire years worth of printer paper, folders, pens, pencils and just about every office supply you can think of. With sale prices so low, think about purchasing enough for Christmas and birthday gifts, mid-school year replacements and donation items.
  2. With students heading back to college soon, you’ll find some of the best discounts on organizational items such as shelving, closet organizers, bins, under-bed storage and desktop organization.  You’ll also see some of the lowest prices on laptops and MP3 players, rivaling black friday deals.
  3. Look for lawn mowers, swimming pools, landscape supplies, swing sets, grills and patio furniture to be deeply discounted this month.  You’ll also find a few remnants of swimsuits and summer apparel on clearance.
