We’re expecting some creativity over the next two months in how stores Clearance out their Summer inventory. A current example is Gymboree’s “Fill a Bag” sale — save 30% on a full bag of merchandise in stores, or on a full cart on-line – Includes new lines. This is a ‘Limited Time Only’ sale, which likely means indefinite (or until the next major markdown). A couple of TIPS to keep in mind:
- If an item is currently 50% off, an additional 30% off yields a total savings of 65%. There is a much higher size and style collection NOW, then there will be when the same item finally gets permanently marked down to 65%.
* - AND… you will earn Gymbucks with your purchase — yielding you yet another12.5% savings on the same purchase, for a total savings of 70%.
*
It’s definitely time to buy! Focus on the 50% sales (and higher) for the very best deals.
