This week's savings tip

School has officially begun which means summer clearance is now in full swing. Shop anywhere and almost all of their shorts, bathing suits, sandals and flip-flops will now be 80 percent off. Stock up on these type of items, expecially since length doesn't matter on kids. Also look for sunblock, pool toys and beach towels. They're great items to store in a box, just waiting for the warm weather to come back.
