Hello March! And, Hello Spring (well, almost). Several stores are tempting us with Swimwear specials this week. Try Hanna Andersson or Lands End — but only if needed. You can save 15-30% now, but if you wait, you’ll get bigger discounts later.
Reminder! As we progress through March, we will see final reductions across the board as everyone makes room for more and more Spring floor / warehouse space. So, this is a great time to explore your local stores and boutiques. We don’t report on Aeropostale and some of the other Junior-sized stores, but I found some “additional 70%” racks this past weekend. Items were already discounted about 20% — so the final savings was about 85% off (hard to beat!).
