Hundreds of Retail Stores are Closing in 2016! What You Need to Know to Save!

I shared this on Instagram a couple days ago. So if you DO have an Instagram account, feel free to follow me over there so you don’t miss other things I might not be able to post on the blog. I’m under “The Melea Show” on IG. 😉

First of all, it’s always sad when stores close because so many people lose their jobs.  But, if stores do go out of business, there is the potential for C-R-A-Z-Y prices on everything they mark down on clearance.  But you want to make sure you don’t get taken for a fool.

Sports Authority, Sears, Office Depot, Gap, Aeropostale, Finish Line and Kmart have all recently announced that a bunch of their store locations across the country are closing down. 

HELPFUL TIP?: The longer a product stays, the cheaper it will go. So there’s a fine line when deciding whether to buy it at the first clearance price or waiting to see if it goes lower before it’s sold out! So I recommend using a price scanner app (like RedLaser) to scan clearance items to see if it really is a great price or if it’s still cheaper elsewhere!

And for those of you who like videos, I have a clearance video I put together awhile ago sharing tips you’ll want to know when shopping a store clearance sale. It’s called “Secret Clearance ShoppingTips” and you can head here to watch it.
