Shopping Savings: Five Things to Buy in April

 

Spring has sprung, and as the weather gets better, shoppers can have peace of mind knowing that this month offers deep discounts across several spring essentials like shoes, vacuums, beauty and more. Check out RetailMeNot’s list of the best deals and steals April has to offer.

Video Games The sales for electronics and video games aren’t just reserved for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Opportunities to save on this category will be revealed this month ahead of graduation, and even Father’s Day. Looking back to this time last year, there was also an increased demand for video games as consumers shifted to staying at home and struggled to keep their kids entertained amidst the COVID pandemic. Right now, shoppers can find up to 50% off deals at GameStop. Makeup & Skincare In honor of Earth Day this month, many environmentally friendly beauty brands will be offering discounts. Shoppers who want to revamp their skin or makeup routine for the new season will be in luck because eco-friendly brands use Earth Day as a big promotional push. Historically, shoppers have also been able to score deals on all types of cosmetic brands. Look for savings and free samples at retailers like Sephora, Ulta, Kiehl’s and more. Shoes Want to put some pep in your step without breaking the bank? Now is the time. Shoe sales tend to decrease in winter, so retailers start offering big discounts in the spring to draw shoppers. Additionally, as COVID restrictions in some areas start to loosen and vaccines continue to be distributed, people are changing out of their slippers and venturing outside more. Consumers can expect deep discounts on some older styles, as retailers are working to add more seasonal items to stores. Shoppers can score savings from retailers like up to 65% off clearance at DSW. Vacuums A new season is upon us and now is the time to declutter and refresh your home. April is the month to kick off your spring cleaning checklist and retailers use this as a time to push promotions on all sorts of cleaning devices, especially vacuum cleaners. While newer models might not see the deepest discounts yet, take a look at inventory from the last few years and save money on essential and big ticket household item. This month, shoppers can bundle and save on iRobot vacuum deals and find all sorts of brands at Bed Bath and Beyond and get 6% cash back. Easter Candy Easter is just around the corner and many grocery stores, retailers and pharmacies are lining their shelves with goodies to help fill the baskets and eggs this year.
