As a general rule of thumb, go just as the season is ending, as retailers need to clear seasonal stock!
The following information comes via Time Magazine.
Best day ever: December 26th
- People return great things (gifts) they don’t want
- The stock is not yet picked over
Best days in general: Thursday evening until Sunday evening
- Retailers like to give discounts on weekends because people don’t really shop on weekdays
Best time in general: 6 weeks after the new season of clothes comes out
- When stock doesn’t move, slight discounts start to appear…
- …but there’s still enough stock left to purchase in various sizes and colours, unlike end of season sales
Score 35% – 50% discounts depending on the weekday:
- Mondays: Dress Pants and Sunglasses
- Tuesdays: Men’s apparel
- Wednesdays: Shoes and children’s clothes
- Thursdays: Handbags
- Fridays: Jewellery, belts and scarves
- Saturdays: Lingerie and jackets/outerwear
- Sundays: Swimsuits
Enjoy!
