The end of summer is
often not a reason to
celebrate. Kids dread the
end of days off and the
return to school, while
adults bemoan the loss
of summer hours at the
office.
One thing to look
forward to at the end
of summer, however, is
the sidewalk sale. Before
the sun sets on summer,
many stores take to the
sidewalks outside their
storefront to sell heavily
discounted merchandise.
Savvy shoppers can make
the most of sidewalk sales
and get one last hurrah
out of summer before it’s
gone forever.
* Take inventory.
Sidewalk sales are often
a store’s way of reducing
inventory before they
shift to the new season.
But stores should not be
the only ones with an eye
on inventory. Shoppers
should take inventory as
well, looking over what
they truly need before
hitting the sales. This
helps reduce the risk of
purchasing products that

aren’t really needed. For
example, if kids already
have four swimsuits,
there’s no reason to buy
another just because
swimsuits are on sale.
* Size things up.
Parents shopping the
sidewalk sales for their
kids should look ahead
to next season and try to
predict how much their
kids will grow between
now and then. Shorts and
dresses tend to be more
lenient in size, as dresses
can be worn long, short
or medium and shorts
like swim trunks tend to
have adjustable waists.
But if shopping for shirts
and other items that are
more form-fitting, try to
predict just which size
kids will be by the time
next summer arrives.
* Don’t be trendy.
Clothing styles and
trends change almost
as often as the seasons
themselves. When
shopping an end of
summer sidewalk sale,
avoid indulging in this
season’s trends because
there’s a very small

While it might not
provide the same feel as a
traditional sidewalk sale,
shoppers should look to
the Internet for deals
on clothing and other
seasonal merchandise.
Retailers might even offer
better discounts online
than they do on the
sidewalk.
