Boxing Day shopping is an annual tradition for many Canadians. With the stress of gift buying behind us, the day is completely reserved for shopping for ourselves. These 5 helpful tips will help you maximize your shopping day:

  1. Early bird gets the worm: Don’t hit the snooze button so you can have first pick over parking, fitting rooms, the help of a friendly sales clerk and merchandise before the store is filled with shoppers. (Check here for your local Plum store's hours.)
  2. Take breaks: Eat a big breakfast and make sure you stop during the day for coffee breaks to recharge. Being hungry can affect your ability to make sound decisions on sale items.
  3. Dress in the right clothes:  Layers will make trying on clothes a cinch.  Plus, if the fitting room line-up is too long, you can try clothes on in front of a mirror. To keep comfortable, forego the winter parka so don’t have to carry much and wear slip-on shoes.
  4. Know what you need and how much you can spend: By doing a little planning ahead, you will have a better idea of what you want to spend your money on. That way you’ll be able to zero in on what you are actually looking for despite distractions.
  5. Have fun: Boxing Day sales are about finding things you love for a deal, so don’t forget to enjoy yourself!

 

Here's the inside scoop on the deals at Plum to help you make your list:

How to be Sale Savvy

We love sales for the thrill of the hunt. We also love to share our good fortune when we get a compliment on our find. Being sale savvy is about finding outfits that add new life to your existing wardrobe when the price is right.  Here are some ideas on how to shop this mid-season sale:

  1. Take a look in your closet and evaluate what you have before you head out the door.  When you know what you need, it’s easier to stay focused when tempted by the sales racks. Because the selection and quantities are better than at end-of-season sales, you want to think about outfits.
  2. Wardrobe essentials such as a black jacket or skinny yoga jeans are great finds because the cost-per-wear on closet basics will be that much lower.  Plus, essentials such as the yoga jeans rarely go on a promotion with a full selection of styles and size so it’s time to buy.  But even if the price is a steal, make sure the fit is right.
  3. Closet basics are nothing without the fun pieces that speak to your personal style. Trendy items are worth buying if you can think of wearing it in three different outfits. And you’ll still have time to wear them before the season is out.  
  4. You can never have enough accessories and jewellery. Because they can transform your outfit and allow you to play with trends with minimal investment, it’s time to stock up when they are on sale.

Being sale savvy is buying the clothing that excites you and inspires you with many outfit ideas. The real value is in every time you put them on.
