Frugal Tips: May Bargains

Mother’s Day sales provide reduced-priced presents for women before and after the big day. Look for deals on jewelry, fragrances, and gift items such as jewelry boxes.

May is a good time to find deals on jewelry.

Mattresses and box springs are highly promoted from late May to early fall. This is when retailers gain significant support from the mattress manufacturers in the form of advertising and special offers.

If you need a new mattress between May and early fall is the time to buy one.

Memorial Day weekend is the traditional signal for big-ticket items like major appliances to go on sale.

As the weather gets nicer there will be more garage and rummage sales to check out. One of the private schools in our area, Mid Vermont Christian School, holds a huge tag sale Memorial Day weekend. The gymnasium is full of donations from the school’s families and the bargains are everywhere! There are no prices on anything instead they just ask for a donation, whatever you think is appropriate. If you live near Quechee, Vermont be sure to check it out Friday May 24th and Saturday May 25th!

MVCS has a great tag sale 5/24-25 for those of you who are local!
