Tip Tuesday: It's Clearance Time!

We are nearing the end of the year and for many stores it's out with the old and in with the new. That's good for us bargain hunters because that means it's clearance time. Companies start to get things in order by organizing departments and getting rid of things they won't be carrying in 2013. They do this to prepare to take inventory for the upcoming year.

Speaking of clearance, it's that time of year where CVS starts marking makeup products at 50-75% off so keep an eye out at your local store. I just got off the phone with my local CVS and they haven't started yet except for a couple of products, so you are lucky if you get to score the good deals now.

Don't forget, you can use manufacturers coupons on clearance items to make it an even better deal. Store coupons may or may not qualify so check the fine print to be sure. Great deals are ready to be had so don't spend all of your money on Christmas and stash away a little extra shopping money for yourself to get your clearance shopping on! :)

I hope this Tip Tuesday has been helpful. If you want to see more deals that I come across that may not be in my blog posts, check out and like my Facebook page, Mandy's Money Saving Tips. Oh, and don't forget to enter the Giveaway Contest that is currently going on, but hurry, it ends on December 15th!
