Discount Dog Sweaters -A Savvy Buyer’s Guide

Discount dog sweaters get their ‘discounted dog sweater’ status
when they no longer sell due to low stock, less consumer demand
or the season changing. Therefore, finding discount dog coats
and sweaters on the web or in-store does not mean you have to
sacrifice quality; it just means you (and your dog) get to reap
the benefits of being a savvy shopper.

With that in mind, here are some tips on when and how to buy the
best marked-down dog apparel:

* Buy after holidays. Buying after holidays like Christmas and
Valentines provides great values and relatively good selection.
Because retailers tend to overproduce holiday stock, they often
have many sizes left once the holiday has passed. Savvy Shopping
Tip: Make sure to shop for these holiday deals the day of, or a
day or two after the holiday. This is when you’ll get your ‘pick
of the litter’ from a selection and size standpoint.

* Buy off season. Off season purchases are fabulous because they
are perfectly wonderful clothes -your pup might just have to
wait to wear them. With that said, there are two types of
off-season shopping. The first occurs at the tail-end of a
season and the second is nowhere near the season. In the first
circumstance, if you buy winter dog coats in February/March
you’ll likely get a discount as retailers are trying to
liquidate to make room for spring styles. The benefit of this
type of off-season shopping is that your pup can still wear
their winter warm-ups before you’ll need to retire them until
the following year. In the second circumstance, for whatever
reason, many stores don’t always sell out of their seasonal
stock post-season, therefore, they’ll continue to mark it down
and sell it until it’s liquidated. Savvy Shopping Tip: Best
selection and sizes are available mid to late season; best
prices but less selection and sizes are available off-season.

* Check both big and little retailers. When hunting for dog
apparel best buys, it’s not always the big box stores who have
the best deals. Although their discounts are normally great, if
there’s a dog poncho or jersey you’ve wanted for your pup for
awhile, it very well may go on sale -even at the most posh pet
boutiques. Savvy Shopping Tip: Search for doggie apparel that’s
been price-cut at both big and small stores.

* Look for more expensive doggie couture items first. Even
high-end design houses like Burberry have to liquidate doggie
stock at some point, that’s why it’s best to scope out these
hot-ticket items first. Finding highly sought after couture such
as designer dog wear should not be a ‘save the best for last’
mentality, but rather a ‘me first’ mentality when it comes to
discount doggie apparel shopping. Savvy Shopping tip: Find hot
items first, semi-hot items second.

* Plan, plan, plan. If you want to get the best duds for your
four-legged companion, it’s wise to do a little planning.
Knowing the day and time you’ll hit certain online retailers for
deals will ensure you get the best of everything. When it comes
to discount shopping, it pays to wait until items go on sale,
but once they do, they’re snatched up fast -hence the need for a
plan. Savvy Shopping Tip: Make a plan in advance and take 5
minutes to pre-schedule the best dates to buy. This way they’ll
be in your palm or organizer and prompt you when it’s time to
shop! * Auction anyone? Finally, price-cut dog sweaters can
usually be found year-round at online auctions. If you like the
rush of bidding then this discount shopping avenue may be for
you. Savvy Shopping Tip: Buy low, sell high!
