Best Time to Shop

April 6, 2020

First, holidays are some of the best times to shop for many items. This is when stores try to lure customers to buy and spend more. Stores know that customers have the day off and have time to shop. But, try not to choose holidays like Christmas or Valentine’s Day. The better holidays to choose are things like Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Presidents’ Day, and the little random holidays that occur during the year. Times like July 4 are fantastic for looking for good sales. Also, pay attention to the after holiday sales. These are when stores offer extra discounts to entice customers to come in to shop. A lot of times, stores have increased their inventory during the holidays and now need to get rid of that inventory. So, try to shop after the holiday during the after holiday sale such as the after thanksgiving sale or the after Christmas sale.

Next, look in between seasons. If summer is coming up, don’t shop for new summer clothes. Instead, shop for current spring clothes. If winter is coming up, don’t shop for those winter coats. Instead, before the winter shop for the fall clothes that you want it. I know this presents a problem for those that want to wear more current clothes during the current season. So, if that is what you want, spend some time shopping for the trendy clothes of that season, but also look for the staple items that you can wear in your wardrobe every year. Things like a cashmere cardigan that you can wear the following year. If you are looking for a cashmere sale, then look towards the end of winter when it may not be as cold as before. Cashmere is one of those staple items that you can keep year after year so do not worry about buying those items so late during the season.

Finally, if you tend to go to major discount retailers such as DSW or Loehmann’s, then you should hit those stores early on during the week. Tuesday and Wednesday is the best times to go to those stores because that’s when the new inventory comes in. Thursday and Friday is when a lot more people have time to go and shop and when there will be a lot less items for you to choose from. Saturday and Sunday are the worst days for those stores because everything will be picked over. If you want first choice at the new items at these discount stores, go on Tuesday or Wednesday. On the weekends, they will usually not discount those items anymore because people are willing to pay. So, don’t worry about not getting the greatest deal because Tuesday and Wednesday is when the items will already be marked down.

Burlap Bags

April 4, 2020

As the years went by, the gunny bag became an over-rated term which eventually began to apply to all material made from jute. This was regardless whether it was a bag, rug, or cloth backing.

When importing jute bags, the United States referred to them as Hessian gunny bags, sacking gunny cloth, sacking gunny bags or Hessian gunny cloth. The jute bags in the United States were historically limited to seamed burlap bags for various purposes – nursery stock, grain, binder twine, vegetables, produce, feed, flour, sugar, produce, fertilizers, bran, and grains – with bags of cotton and burlap used for flour, sugar and salt.

The bags are now associated with birthdays, ceremonies and other activities. Over recent years, they have also become part of popular wedding themes everywhere. This is due to its fascinating colonial texture which used to be part of early history rug embroidery. Because it is so popular, the problem with ordering burlap locally is you are limited on your choices, and burlap is becoming a hot item in the United States. This means searching the Internet for a material that is natural, has numerous styles and types, and offers discounted prices.

There are various types of material used for burlap bags, each type dependent on what you are going to do with it. Wedding bags and small favors for weddings, parties, ceremonies and holiday get-together’s can use the smaller sizes, while the larger are good for large gifts or as part of the decorations.

They currently come in many prices, styles, sizes and colors with the diversity of the material wide open. Once you go online to shop for burlap you will be shocked and amazed at what is available throughout the world.

Burlap is something that old farmers used to cut seed sacks down for, but today shopping online has replaced that enjoyable deed. But burlap is still a favorite for many people, no matter how you come by it. The advantage of shopping at burlap e-stores is you have a little more choices in your product and you don’t have to spend the afternoon snipping stitches out of the bags in the barn. Believe me, that do get old!
