What you can buy cheaper in March

Save it...save it good! With no real big holidays on the horizon this month (other than St. Patrick's Day which is not nearly as profitable as Christmas or Halloween) , the spring is often a time of recharging and restoration...for our homes, yards, and wardrobes. Sure, there may not be holiday specials or slashed frenzied price changing, but there are definite bargains specific to this month.

Here is the lowdown on what moms (and dads) can buy cheaper in March, care of DealNews.com:


Winter Outdoor Gear

1. Winter Outdoor Gear While the best times to buy winter gear are the summer months, this year's warm winter will cause the cold weather gear to go on clearance earlier. Now is the time to peruse those skis and skates you've always wanted.


Luggage 2. Luggage

The most noticeable price drops for luggage are in late August, but there are some very good deals to be had in March as many prepare for summer trips.


Winter Apparel 3. Winter Apparel In March, you'll also find bargains on coats, gloves, hats, etc… right now. Just yesterday, I found gloves discounted from $25 down to just three bucks.

Houses 4. Houses

It might be a no-brainer but people like to move once the school year has ended. If you look around your neighborhood, you'll notice that there are more 'For Sale' signs right about now than usual. Plus, interest rates are still incredibly low. We bought our house in the spring, closed in May and had a smooth end of June move-in.


Perfume

5. Perfume The biggest time for perfume purchases are December and February, so now that March has arrived, look for prices to go down. The best fragrance buys will not be in the department stores. You'll find the highest discounts on perfume at warehouse stores, like Sam's Club.

Frozen Food 6. Frozen Food

Did you know that March is National Frozen Food Month ? I saw the large advertisements draped across my supermarket window announcing frozen food month along with the slashed prices. And oh, how convenient those frozen veggies can be when hustling to make dinner.

China and Flatware 7. China and Flatware

All those June weddings are just around the corner which means stores are stocking up China and flatware for all the upcoming bridal registries. It also means that there will be bargains, so even those of us that already have collections can benefit by getting some new pieces for our existing sets.
