Where has the summer gone? I can’t believe it is August already. Soon the kids will be heading back to school and we’ll be moving into our fall schedules.
In August the outdoor furniture is marked down, taking it’s last breath as the season winds down.
Check your local Farmer’s Markets as fresh produce is in abundance and the prices reflect it. Buy peppers now and freeze them to use later in the winter when peppers are so expensive! Frozen peppers can be used in casseroles, soups or stir-fries and you won’t notice the difference. Here is a link for freezing peppers.
August is also a wonderful month to stock up on school supplies. I usually stock up on notebook paper and folders for school reports. The prices can’t be beat.
You will also find sales on pre-season fall fashions. Now is the time to find that special back to school outfit!
White sale items are now offered routinely in August.
Remember a bargain is only a bargain if you can afford it and it fits into your budget. Don’t spend money you don’t have just because it’s a deal!
