Summer is the time that most retail stores start thinking about Christmas inventory. So a lot of stores, especially Target, is starting to clear the shelves so they can fit all the seasonal product.
This is the perfect time to look for gifts for family and friends. Toys are especially going to be clearanced out. Since so many new toys will be released around the holidays, stores really need to make room for all the new product.
Summertime is the perfect time to start shopping the clearance areas in stores. You will find some great deals and you may even get your holiday shopping done early. Most of the time, I will have my Christmas shopping done before Black Friday.
To keep track of your gifts, make a list of all the people you need to shop for and set a budget for each person. Find a place in your home, like the garage or a closet and put all the gifts in that one place. Make sure your gift stash is a secret place so no one knows goes snooping around. If you make sure all the gifts are together, you won't forget and have to buy twice. Keep a copy of your list with you and place a copy with the purchased gifts.
On a side note, I found out yesterday, that if you don't use a bag or bring your own bag to Target, you get $0.05. So, make sure you bring your own bags or if you only have a few items, like I did yesterday, tell them you don't need a bag.
