In June, fruits, sunglasses, hot tours, fans ... And also ... winter boots. The heat, the smell of hot asphalt and advertisements of soft drinks eaten somewhere on the Cote d'Azur leave no choice: it's time, it's time! I want to go on vacation, I want to put on a new swimsuit, those breathtaking sandals with bright, but not pretentious ornaments ... But first you need to buy all this. And enjoy your shopping.
Family budget planners advise against spending more than 10% of your total income on seasonal new clothes. But being pragmatic doesn't always promote relaxation ...
We are late?
June is considered to be the ideal month for summer shopping. On the one hand, the spring-summer collections have not yet been sold out and, of course, are relevant. On the other hand, the hour of sales has struck, and it is quite possible to buy the breathtaking sandals that you like with a good discount. Boutiques with well-established supplies quite strictly follow the recommendations of the brand owners: seasonal price reductions are in effect, this must attract a buyer. The flip side of the coin: the brightest new items are sold in April-May.
And it is possible that there will not be either the desired size or the colors you like. If you strive to keep up with fashion, then it is advisable to buy things a couple of months before it will be worn. Well, if you just want to arrange a shopping therapy session, we advise you to pay attention to the inconspicuous side racks. Unsold collections of the last season are placed there. There is a chance that a nice jacket with a custom size XS is waiting for you. Just drive away thoughts like “Why do I need this swimsuit? ..” Otherwise, you risk ending up in a fur salon instead of a summer fair. Yes, winter mink at summer prices is a balm for the soul shopaholic... But while you're chasing discounts, all of the trendy bikinis are already on their way. But I want to show off, sunbathe in a new one! By the way, about the beaches.
Out in the pampas
Are you ready for an adventure? No, it's not about climbing Elbrus with a baby in a "kangarushka" (although an interesting option ...) It's about burning tours. The advantages of this approach are significant discounts. Almost half the cost - And this is very important if you are going to an expensive exotic country. The downside is the inability to plan a trip in advance, settle the formalities with OVIR and medical insurance. In addition, you have no idea where you will ultimately spend your vacation. But that's the beauty!
Information on last minute tours can be obtained directly from travel agencies. However, you need to sift the wheat from the chaff. The main criterion: there are not many really worthwhile vouchers. And if most of the positions in the agency's list are marked as hot tours, a catch is not excluded. Are so many travelers giving up travel? Check the package provided carefully. There are sites where people share their impressions of a particular hotel or service. It is enough to enter the name into the search engine. Do not hesitate to ask the manager in detail about every little thing: is it really all inclusive? Or do they pay extra for using the children's slide? At the very least, you will save yourself the frustration. They have no place on vacation.
And me and me!
Have a child 5-6 years old? Then write down: roller skates, bicycle, panama hat, inflatable bathing equipment, sunscreen. This is the required June minimum. You should buy goods for children and sports equipment only in the high season and be sure to try it on! Give the smallest fussy the most complete assortment. So initially count on a large amount: for sure, the little one wants everything at once. We advise you to pamper.After all, summer is only once a year. And the main thing this season is the mood.
Don't get caught, fish ...
Common marketing techniques. They are not always honest to attract buyers, although they are quite legal. Don't get caught!
• A 5-10% discount is not a discount. Most likely, the price is a little overpriced. It is easy to check the real cost of a T-shirt you like on the Internet: just go to the manufacturer's website. And go shopping! It is possible that in another boutique, almost the same will cost much less.
• A thing from last year's collection cannot accidentally end up in a new one. Monitor the market!
• Plan strictly! Do you need two flower pots (the second is a promotional gift)?
