Money Saving Tips: Make The Most Of Those Retail Sales!
Written by Lisa on Friday 21 April 2006
As a follow-up to my post on recycled gifts I thought I would also cover ways to make the most of retail sales.
I am always on the lookout for reduced items when i am out shopping. If I see a shop with a sale I am always on the lookout for possible gifts. My weekly groceries from Tesco or Asda are often supplemented by gift sets, toiletries, books and toys.
Although I plan my gifts for family and close friends very carefully and try to get them something specific that I think they will love, for people like teachers and aquaintances sale goods can save me a fortune.
I always have some emergency gifts in storage if I need them, and they don't cost me an arm and a leg. I also stock up on gift bags and wrapping paper so that I am never unprepared!

I think some of the best
I think some of the best times to buy things is post-holiday, but mostly at stores that stock 'gift' items they don't normally stock for the rest of the year. Boy, can you get the buys at CVS after Christmas! They start at half price and eventually what's left hits 90% off. Sometimes that isn't much, but you can often get one or two 'gifties' to put away. A bath set that might cost $20 full price goes for $2. Who could beat that, LOL!?
