Thank you to Groupon Coupons for sponsoring today’s post!

It seems like there is so much to spend money on in the summer! Summer travel, warm-weather clothes, back-to-school shopping…it all adds up, so saving money is important. I love getting deals so I can stretch my budget. Here are some of my favorite ways to save money on summer clothes I feature on this blog. Trust me, it’s not as hard as you think!

Take Your Time

Instead of buying on impulse, shop around. If you see something you like, check other stores to see if there’s a better price somewhere else. Sometimes it’s best to leave an item on the shelf to really consider if it’s something you should buy or not. Taking the time to comparison shop can help give you that clarity. Also think about how an item will fit in with what’s already in your closet. Read my extra tips on restyling your old garments and summer clothes on a budget.

Follow Your Favorite Stores

Find your favorite stores on social media and sign up for e-mail newsletters. You’ll be alerted of sales and promos, and after a while you’ll begin to predict patterns in the brand’s merchandising. Knowing when sales might pop up can help you make better decisions about when to buy (like knowing when the semi-annual Lilly Pulitzer sales are). Frequent shopper reward clubs are also an avenue to saving money. For example, Anthropologie’s Anthro Club sends a 15% off coupon good for the month of your birthday.

Check for Coupon Codes to Save Money on Summer Clothes

Before you buy something, it’s worth a look to see if there’s a code you can use to save a little cash. Groupon now has a section called Groupon Coupons that lists all available promo codes and sales for retailers including Macy’s, JCPenney, Target, Kohls, Aeropostale, and Tea. Just remember to check for coupons online before you click “checkout” on your online shopping cart! Pretty convenient.
