April Saving Guide
One of the best ways to save money is knowing what to buy and when to buy it! Here’s a special guide that gives you an outline of exactly what to buy, what’s on clearance, and what’s in season for April.
April Clearance Items you will find:
- Easter table linens
- plates
- baskets
- icing
- crafts
- sprinkles
- cookie cutters
- seasonal clothing
- yard decorations
- ribbons
- Winter clearance deep discounts now on linens, shoes, boots, jackets, coats, clothing etc
- Passover goodies
Pro Tip: Try to buy clearance items and use them for the next year. I tend to purchase a lot of baskets to create basket gifts throughout the year.
It’s the best time to purchase these items:
- Ham (spiral cut, honey end of Easter,)
- Candy for birthday parties or events (Easter clearance)
- Colored sprinkles, icings,Easter crafts, cookie cutters, clothing, decorations (tuck away for next year)
- Passover crackers etc
- Baking supplies (flour, sugar, pie fillings, yeast, chocolate chips, baker’s chocolate, cooking oil, pie crusts, ready-made dough, spices, nuts, dried fruits, disposable pans, aluminum foil, plastic wrap)
