We are just starting out summer break but retailers are beginning to think about back to school already. It’s the beginning of the summer clear out in an effort to make room for fall lines coming next month. Between now and the end of June is the best time to buy at the major retailers if you want the best selection. If you’re going for the deep discounts, wait until July, although the selection won’t be as great.
Here are some of the sales highlight…
Gymboree: Red Balloon Sale sections are organized by $0.99 (e.g. socks), $4.99 and under (mostly accessories, little clothing ), and $7.99 and under (lots of tops and shorts).
Hanna Andersson: Big Twice a Year Sale. Save up to 60%. Sizes are limited.
Garnet Hill: Kids Annual Summer Clearnce Event. Check out their $10 and under page here > $10 Sale
