Shopping for Spring Deals with Retail Me Not

Spring is the time to start thinking about vacations and spring wardrobe shopping! With the warmer weather, people tend to spend more money… I’m thinking spring flats, a new handbag and some colourful accessories.

Well, according to a recent survey by RetailMeNot.ca, 74 per cent of Canadians agree that people tend to spend more as the weather gets warmer. I guess it’s the sunshine and warmer temperatures that give people spring shopping fever!

How much will you spend this spring? Survey respondents plan to spend an average of $1,270 on travel expenses, $1,160 on home improvements, $632 on food and entertainment and $222 on new clothing and shoes between March and June.

Do you tend to shop online and look for coupons you can use to save some money? I usually scour the internet looking for online coupon codes, discount codes and web deals before I commit to buying items including clothing for my kids, toys and electronics. More often than not, I find some great online coupon deals to save me money on free shipping and 25% and up discounts.

I also tend to check online for deals and discount codes before I head to the mall – sometimes I can’t wait for a specific item to be delivered so I’ll go to pick up same day in the retail store. RetailMeNot.ca is a digital offers site that compiles the best in-store and online deals for some of your favourite retailers.

Here are some of the retailers you can find deals on RetailMeNot.ca:

Aeropostale          Air Canada          Amazon              American Eagle

Chapters                Future Shop       Bed Bath and Beyond 

Home Depot         Hotels.com         Hudson’s Bay    Old Navy         

Sephora                 The Source          Toys R Us            Victoria’s Secret

I started my spring shopping and was delighted by the savings I found through RetailMeNot.ca. Take a look:

Banana Republic offered an extra 50% off sale styles for spring. The regular price was $95 for each top plus and on sale for $75.99. So I saved an extra 50% off. I saved $38.01 plus $75.99! In total I saved $114.01 on these two tops. That’s a deal!

Mirvish Theatre

A great deal for the theatre – get 50% off tickets to Once, The Heart of Robin Hood, and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Available on select performances through 4/5/15. With the code on RetailMeNot.ca, I received savings of $150!

Children’s Place

Children’s Place offered a 60% Off Spring Sale + Extra 25% Off with a special discount code offered through RetailMeNot.ca. So on a few shirts and pants for the kids, I saved $18.82 off a $75.27 order.
