Car Maintenance Deals

With April being National Car Care Month, auto supply retailers like Advance Auto Parts will use that as a reason to discount their inventory and promote their automotive tools deals. And not to mention it’s the first month in many where snow and sleet are (almost) a thing of the past and car owners will be ready to switch their maintenance gears from winter to spring.

Snow Equipment Deals

Even though there are some cities (ahem… Chicago) that can’t guarantee that you’ll have no snow in the forecast until June, retailers have declared winter over and want to clear out all things snow-related. Have you determined your 20-year old snowblower can’t take another nor’easter? Or have you finally given in to the idea of a more back-friendly shovel? Now’s the time to snatch them up at discounted prices.

Skincare and Makeup Deals

If you’re looking to refresh your makeup for spring and summer, you can look forward to the Sephora April sale that we see each year. The sale will begin for Rouge members receiving 20% off beginning 4/9. Then VIB members will get 15% off starting 3/14. And finally, Insiders will get 10% off on 4/15 through 4/19.

With the Sephora Spring sale, we expect to see other retailers like Ulta and Target offer some makeup deals to compete!

Athletic Gear & Athletic Equipment Sales

With the weather warming up, fitness retailers like Under Armour and Athleta know this is prime time to tempt their customers. Everything from shoes, to shorts, sports bras, and leggings will be given some deep discounts.

Thrift Shop Deals

With spring cleaning comes a whole new batch of goods hitting your local thrift stores and consignment shops. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure – amiright? Been trying all year to find the perfect entryway table, desk lamp, or armoire? When you drop off your donations, be sure to peek inside because this is one of the best times all year to find what you’re looking for. And let’s not overlook thrifty online favorites like eBay, Poshmark, and ThredUP!

Tax Day Deals

Retailers know that usually when mid-April hits, their customers have either just hit the jackpot with their tax return – or owe some dough to Uncle Sam. This year the tax deadline has been extended to May 2021 for most states and even into June for some states! So, these freebies may hit closer to mid-May. Tax day deals are a good way to get both kinds of customers in the door. While a number of places will be touting freebies, it’s the restaurant chains that will likely have the most to offer. In particular, if you know where to look, you can find some great tax day fast food deals from places like McDonald’s, Boston Market, and more!
