Boxing Week?

Boxing Day used to be a great time to get deals. To go out and brave the mall and find things at a low price. 

When your out shopping on the now Boxing WEEK sales there are a few things you need to watch out for. 

1. The regular price. Many places will inflate the price leading up to Christmas, to only put it back to regular price for boxing week. 

2. Clothing has a big mark up. After working in clothing retail I have learned not to pay original price for clothes EVER. Watch prices and look for good sales. Look for 25% off MIN! Good deal will be 50-75% off for a great deal. 

3. End of season sales. This is a great time to stock up on Christmas items for NEXT YEAR. Wrapping paper, gift bags, fake Christmas trees. They all go on sale after Boxing Day. Do the same with clothes for yourself and your kids. At the end of season hit up the sale racks and buy in the next size for next year. Stick with basics, shirts, pants, shorts. Do it in basics that can be used year after year and not in wild colours or prints that will go out of style. 

4. Set a budget and don't go over. Don't go in to debt for a good sale. 

Sales will be going on for the whole week. Take your time. There will be some great deals the first day, but you can find some great deals online and the rest of the week.
