Save money on the essentials. Spend the rest on vacation.
How is it that whenever it comes time for your next summer excursion, there’s always a list of things to get beforehand (despite how many trips you’ve taken.) When it comes to vacations, saving money where you can is crucial and sample sales are a great way for people looking to get some of the hottest brands at a fraction of the price.
Sample sales are generally something that retailers have when they want to get rid of excess merchandise to make room for a new collection. We’ve made a list of all of the sample sales happening this month that you’re surely going to want to hit up before that 10-hour flight to the tropics. From summertime flip flops to long-lasting luggage, ditch breaking the bank before take-off by getting in on of some of the best discounts happening in the city!
