Things You Should Buy Before Summer Ends

It’s halfway through summer and most likely, your wallet (glass jar for stashing extra cash) is also half empty with all the travel expenses, summer enrichment activities, and everything else that makes summer so much fun. It doesn’t really help that school starts in a few weeks time. Avoid having to turn your wallet inside out by taking advantage of Labor Day Sales, End-of-Season Sales, and Back-to-School Sales which are all happening this merry month of May (kinda makes May the merriest month of all, agree?).

Here are some things you should buy before summer ends:

Footwear

Most shops will be coming out with their back-to-school footwear so shoes from last season would be on sale. For kids’ school shoes, fit and function overrule fashion anyway so even those from two seasons ago would still be perfectly fine. Even footwear for adults and babies start to go on sale weeks before summer ends. Got a cute little baby at home? Check out the adorable baby girl booties at Zalora Marketplace.

Kids’ Clothing

Back-to-school sales offer great deals not just for school uniforms and innerwear but for almost all types of kids’ clothing. Don’t miss out on these sales to update your kids wardrobe. Kids have this amazing way of growing at least two sizes bigger over the summer so this would really be the best time to get new clothes.

School and Office Supplies

Have you ever shopped for school supplies a week before school started? Oh yeah! It’s not something you’d want to do unless you’re the type who enjoys crowded shops with ridiculously long lines at the checkout counters. So if you want to shop in peace, grab those school and office organization supplies several weeks before school starts. If you are looking for specific supplies for your office, e.g. law materials that can help with filing and sorting out papers, then you may want to look further afield than the supply stores in your area, for instance, websites such as legalsupply.com can help you custom print your own divider tabs so you are a cut above the rest in your office. Look around, see what’s available, you never know what type of bargain you could be getting.

Swimsuits

Okay, this one’s not really a “need” but end-of-summer is when you can score swimwear at awesomely low prices. Just make sure to avoid gaining weight and ending up two sizes bigger come next summer.
