Shopping expert Brittany Levine says the deals are there,
but you have to know where to find them.
"You want to look at the stores that maybe are offering
some of those doorbuster deals, so they could be happening at any time. You got
to keep looking but also, if you head online and keep things in your cart, you
can start to see some of the prices go down. So reserve all the items that you
want," says Levine.
Before you run to shop, see what you already have. Donate or
swap what doesn’t fit. Consider thrift shops and pre-owned sites to buy what
you need, your kids will outgrow clothes in no time.
Buy enough for the first week, after the mad rush, retailers
will lower prices to move merchandise.
