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!
