April is here, and what better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than by snagging some great deals? (But then again, I’ve always thought that shopping is a fine way to celebrate just about anything.)
April tends to be an action-packed month, what with spring cleaning, tax prep, post-winter yard cleanup, and all the other tasks you might have on your springtime “to-do” list. Luckily for us, April also brings great deals on many items that will help you check those tasks off your list! :-)
April Is The Best Month To Buy…
1. Cookware Sets
The month of April leads up to both wedding season and graduation season, and one thing that both grads and newlyweds can benefit from is a great set of cookware. That’s why you’ll find great sale prices on cookware sets at department stores this month, so be sure to take advantage of those while they last (either for gift-giving or as a gift to yourself!)
2. Home Improvement Supplies
We call it “spring cleaning,” but a more appropriate descriptor might be “spring cleaning, organizing, fixing, and general upkeep.” If you plan on doing any of those things around the house this month, take advantage of the seasonal sales and discounts on tools and more at home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s.
3. Auto Parts & Services
April is National Car Care Month! Winter driving conditions can be really hard on cars, and yours surely deserves a little TLC now that the weather is improving. Take advantage of discounts on tune-ups, new tires, auto parts, and more!
4. Secondhand Goods
You probably won’t find a lot of special deals on secondhand clothes this month, but what you can find is a huge selection! Many people clean out their closets in the spring, so you’re likely to find a good selection of recently donated items at your local thrift shops and at secondhand shops online.
5. Spring Clothing
Retailers will be clearing out spring styles this month to make room for incoming summer styles. That means you can find great discounts and markdowns on spring-worthy looks for the whole family, just in time for warmer weather!
6. Earth Day Discounts
Earth Day is on April 22nd, and many businesses celebrate by offering special earth-friendly deals and discounts. You can find deals on outdoor gear, hiking boots, eco-friendly cleaning supplies, and more! RetailMeNot has more on this year’s Earth Day offers.
7. National Park Trips
National Park Week runs from April 20-28, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate, including enjoying free admission to any national park on April 20th! Visit the National Park Service to learn more about special park events happening near you.
8. Jewelry
April is a great time to snag a deal on jewelry because jewelry stores are gearing up for Mother’s Day in May. Take advantage of all the sales and discounts on jewelry this month, and then you won’t be scrambling for a gift next month! :-)
Which deals are you looking forward to this month?
