The best time to shop in any store is during a sale. Most stores have advertisements in the Sunday paper which tell about their sale prices for that week. If you buy summer clothing in winter, you will probably get very good prices, and the same for buying winter clothing in summer. Some sales are confusing, so just ask the salesperson if you are not sure about a price or sale. After Thanksgiving and After Christmas sales are also very popular in the United States, and stores will be full of people looking for a bargain.
Thrift stores can be an inexpensive way to buy clothing and household items.
Be sure to keep all your sales receipts, because if there is a problem with your product, you can return the item if you have your sales receipt. If your product comes with a warranty card that comes with the product, fill it out and mail it in. Most products are also guaranteed from problems by the manufacturer. If the price of the product is posted at one price and you receive another price when you buy the product, ask the cashier. It is normal in the US to ask if the price does not seem correct.
