March is quickly approaching. Can you believe how quickly this year is moving? The appearance of this month means that Spring will be here very soon (March 20th), and that’s a great thing for deal seekers and couponers like us! The weather starts to change, and don’t forget that it’s also Daylight Savings, so on March 11th, you’ll be setting your clocks ahead 1 hour. So, what’s on sale this month? What should you be keeping an eye out for in March? Here you go:
*Valentine’s Day Leftovers
Places like Hallmark, Walmart, Target and drugstores will have nice mark downs on Valentine’s Day products. By now, you may even find some at as much as 90% off! Some of these things can be used as gift basket fillers or birthday presents, too. Stock up and grab what you can right now, because you won’t see some of these items again until after Christmas.

So, maybe it’s still definitely Winter on the East Coast and other scattered parts of the country with snowfall. Even though it’s still really chilly in most parts of the country (except Texas, of course!) because of this odd weather, Winter clearance is going on right now – as the last of the mittens, heavy jackets and coats, hats, scarves and boots all need to be sold before the Spring lines get here!
