20 Ways to Cut the Cost of Shopping - Tip #4

Know the Sales Calendar at Your Favorite Stores

By Donna L Montaldo, About.com

Learn when your favorite stores take their markdowns. For example, did you know that Target often takes markdowns on the kids clothing and electronics on Monday, women's clothing and domestic products on Tuesday, men's clothing, toys, health and beauty, on Wednesday? This is valuable information if you are a regular Target shopper.

Another example is Office Depot. They often have drastically reduced items setup on their floor at opening on Saturday mornings. They sell out quickly too, because their regular shopper's know their sale's trends and wait at the door to see what deals they can find.
