Did you know that there are different things on sale each month of the year?
A while back I put together a Month to Month Shopping Guide that lists the best items to buy each month to save money!
Here I am highlighting the best items to buy this month!
What to Buy in April
Easter clearance! Easter falls on March 31st this year, so shop clearance starting April 1st.
