April Good Buys

Yes, it’s April already and here are some ideas for good buys this month…

The Last of the Winter Clothing

As winter clothes go on sale, you can find great deals on jackets, coats, and other cold-weather apparel.

Outdoor Gear

As the weather improves, many stores have sales on outdoor gear such as camping equipment, bikes, grills, and patio furniture. April marks the beginning of outdoor season, and many retailers offer discounts to kick off spring and summer activities.

Tax Preparation Software

If you’re looking to do your taxes yourself, April is a good time to buy tax software. Many companies offer discounts leading up to the tax deadline, and you can often find deals or bundles that include both the software and some added features.

Easter Candy

After Easter, many stores discount candy, chocolates, and holiday-specific treats. If you’re not too picky about the timing, this is a great opportunity to stock up on sweet snacks for the year.

Mattresses

April is part of the spring mattress sale season. Many retailers offer discounts on mattresses in anticipation of the warmer months, often with promotional pricing or added perks like free delivery or accessories.

Home Improvement Tools and Supplies

Spring is prime time for home improvement projects, and many retailers offer discounts on tools, paints, and outdoor maintenance supplies. If you’re planning any home upgrades, this is a good time to buy supplies.

Winter Sports Gear

Since the end of winter is in sight, many retailers start to mark down winter sports gear like skis, snowboards, and jackets. If you’re planning to hit the slopes next season, now is a good time to get high-quality gear at a discount.

Tech Gadgets (especially older models)

In the lead-up to summer, you may find discounts on older tech models as new releases come out. Keep an eye on sales for smartphones, laptops, or cameras as retailers move out older inventory.

Travel Deals

With spring break wrapping up, you might find some great discounts on travel bookings for summer or fall vacations. Keep an eye out for promotions on flights, hotels, and vacation packages.

Furniture

Many furniture stores have sales in April to coincide with the spring season, offering discounts on living room furniture, dining sets, and storage solutions.
