In the current climate, finding deals on items like clothing is more important than ever. While second hand shopping is still a fantastic option for this, there can be an understandable anxiety over wearing someone else’s clothes during a pandemic. If you are inclined to shop for something new, there is an unfortunate trend of store closure that can be easily taken advantage of to maximize your budget. Though there are almost always inventory clean outs for businesses that are closing down, COVID-19 has forced a much bigger percentage of retail business to shut their doors for good.
One such closure is Century21. Though they are unfortunately no longer taking online orders, you can check their website to find your closest store to try and make the most of what they have left. You can find other stores that are closing with a quick web search and check what’s in your area. MoneyWise put together a list of retail chains that have mass closures occurring this year. Of course there are many small local places that are closing beyond this, but that all depends on your location.
While it’s wholly unfortunate that so many businesses are permanently closing, the thrifty shopper can find a bright side. Using the plethora of clearances available, those with the means to do so can assemble a wardrobe at a significantly discounted rate. This can be a tremendous help for people on an already tight budget to round out their clothing needs.
