6 Best Things to Buy in March

March hopefully will mean the end of the snow for us here in the Northeast (we can dream, right?) but it also brings with it some unique sales and deals to check out. Let’s take a look at some of the best buys of early spring:

Frozen Foods

March is National Frozen Foods month! So the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association will be encouraging producers to offer coupons for frozen goods all month long. Keep your eyes peeled for coupons and sales, and stock your freezer on the cheap in March.

Gardening Tools

Pick up tools in preparation for spring gardening at up to 50% off in the month of March. Look for discounts on things like rakes, shovels and hoes at places like Home Depot and Lowes.

Perfume

Since Christmas and Valentine’s Day are big holidays for perfume, you’ll score some great deals when demand dies down around March.

Luggage

March is right between vacation seasons (which are popular times to stock up on new luggage in preparation for trips). So in March, you can shop for luggage while prices are lower. It’s a great time to stock up for summer travel.

Golf Clubs

New models of golf clubs are just starting to come out for the summer, so golf shops will be trying to push older models out by discounting them.

Sandals

The first round of markdowns on spring shoes are likely to happen in March, so if you want to get a head start on your warm weather wardrobe, you can take advantage of lots of inventory and early sales in early spring.
