Start the New Year off with a bang using our top tips to help you save in this year's winter sales.
With the costly Christmas period, winter sales can be a saviour for your bank account. Whether you’re getting a head start on next year’s birthday presents or treating yourself, check out our top tips to save in this year’s Boxing Day and New Year's sales.
Our Top Tips
- Keep a Budget in Mind
Winter sales and discounts can be tempting, but they can easily add up. Set a budget for yourself to avoid overspending on post-Christmas purchases. This will help you prioritise your favourite items too.
- Make a Wishlist
On the run-up to Boxing Day and New Year’s sales, create a wishlist. With so much on offer during big sales, clothing sites can become overwhelming. A wishlist will help you determine what you need or want, versus things you can probably live without.
- Subscribe to Newsletters
If there are specific fashion retailers that you love, it’s worth signing up to their newsletter. Not only do newsletters offer news on their latest products, but they typically notify you of upcoming sales, and provide you with exclusive offers and promotions straight to your inbox.
- Purchase Popular Items First
According to Cohorted Cult’s article Boxing Day Sales Tips and Tricks article, if an item you have your eye on has been “[...] super discounted or [has a] one-time lowest price kind-of-offer, it’s best to make sure you buy that item before shopping around for everything else.”
With thousands of people jumping at the winter sales, this could be the difference between bagging your preferred items for less and missing out.
