Giving Cheap a Good Name

I'm cheap.  I recently had enough coupons to pay €15 for a €75 haircut.  Once I bought a pair of pants at such a deep discount and resold them for a profit to a consignment store.  I define myself as cheap in the most positive sense.  There's nothing quite like finding a good deal for a good product.  When I use the word "cheap" I don't mean low quality products.  I'm talking about finding deals on items that might be in your wardrobe for longer than one season.  Enter the summer sales currently taking place throughout many stores.  My personal favorite one has been the H&M summer sale.  H&M already boosts reasonable prices, but add a 70% deduction and you have a bargain hunters dream  I shopped this sale for my little one, husband and myself.  Here are my top finds from this sale for my family.

Top baby finds:

This outdoor/rain jacket is bought for the upcoming autumn for my little one.  This is the perfect example of how the term "Summer Sale" isn't limited to summer clothing.

A summertime outfit for my little one which costs a grand total of €2,99?  Yes, please.  Enough said.  Moving on to the top find in the men's department.

Short sleeve button up shirts are definitely making a comeback.  I like the material in this particular style because it can be dressed up and down.  It offers men a way to expand their wardrobe beyond a t-shirt when it's warm out.  For €7,99 it's a no brainer.  The women's sale provided far too many choices, but I did manage to limit it to my two top picks.

Jumpsuits are a style I'm hesitant about wearing but that's one more reason summer sales are fantastic.  They give you the opportunity to try new styles at a deep discount

Summer sales are also a great time to stock up on basics for your wardrobe.  This gray linen shirt is a perfect example of this.  Added plus: it's part of their "premium quality" line.  

Summer sales can be the perfect time to shop for new trends you're curious about trying or for replacing staple items.  Either way, word to the wise, act fast.  Items can often be sold out in the time it takes you to check out your order online.
