February can bring a lot of opportunities to build your family’s wardrobes without spending an arm and a leg. Now that the holiday spending frenzy has passed, retailers often still have a surplus of winter inventory. Since many shops start receiving their spring apparel in the middle of winter, retailers will be extremely motivated to send those clothes home with you. Bargains can be found in many types of apparel.

Sweaters – Many department stores start clearing out their inventory in sweaters in February with discounts as deep as 60% and 75%. With prices like that, you can splurge on a new top or two and rest assured that you haven’t done any permanent damage to your budget.

Shoes – As spring shoes start arriving in the stores, displays are more focused on sandals and open-toe shoes. If you favor more traditional or practical shoes, February is a great time to get a new pair or two. Consider replacing your everyday shoes with a more updated pair and then getting another “fun” pair in a bright color. Boots are another great savings opportunity.

Outerwear –Since children can often only wear their coats for one year, getting a good price on these winter necessities is even more important. By estimating the size that your child will wear next winter, you can buy him a new coat now, get a great deal, and be prepared when the temperatures start to drop next winter. Don’t forget to include the adults in your family in your winter coat shopping, too. You may find that the expensive wool coat you’ve been lusting after has dropped to a much more attainable price. Wouldn’t that be a nice surprise?

Accessories – Winter accessories will be available at their lowest price of the year in February. Does your little one continually lose his gloves? Maybe you should stock up on several pairs of those little pairs of gloves. You won’t have to worry about him outgrowing them. As a bonus, you’ll have enough gloves to share with his little friends when they come over to play. Clearance pricing also means that you can splurge on that nice pair of leather driving gloves your husband has been hinting about.

February is the perfect time to get in a little shopping for you and the rest of the family. With clearance sales everywhere, you can be certain to find a bargain or two worth bragging about.

If you have them in your area, Kohl’s clearance section (both online and B & M) has had some killer deals lately.
