Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals

April brings not just warmer weather and sunnier days, but also excellent shopping opportunities. With Easter happening on April 20, retailers will offer significant discounts on seasonal items at the end of the month, while also preparing for graduations, weddings, and spring cleaning season.

Here are some of the best deals to watch out for:

  • Cookware sets on sale for graduation and wedding season
  • Winter clearance items like coats and sweaters at end-of-season prices
  • Spring cleaning supplies with potential BOGO offers at stores like Target
  • Air conditioners before peak summer demand drives prices higher
  • Lawn care equipment as homeowners prepare for the growing season
  • Post-Easter candy and ham at deeply discounted prices once the holiday has passed
  • For grocery savings, consider seasonal produce like asparagus, broccoli, and spinach, which will be at their freshest and most affordable.

Remember that retailers are always thinking a season ahead. They're already preparing to get rid of spring merchandise while you're just getting ready to enjoy it. This makes April a great time to find budget-boosting deals of all kinds and save money at your favorite retailers.

Quick tips: How to prepare for economic uncertainty

A proactive approach to your personal finances can make the difference between struggling and success. Uncertain times call for a careful review of spending habits, prioritization of expenses, and strategic planning that goes beyond simple cost-cutting.

Here are some tips for creating change on a short-term and long-term basis:

  • Build a 6-month emergency fund. Prioritize building this above other financial goals.
  • Eliminate or pause unnecessary subscriptions and memberships.  
  • Compare rates on big ticket items like auto insurance to make sure you aren't overpaying.
  • Delay major purchases when possible, buying only after thorough research and assessing your “needs” versus “wants.”
  • Consider a side hustle that can generate income with minimal startup costs. Try to pick something fun or use it as a way to spend time with a loved one.

Remember that financial resilience isn't built overnight. Small adjustments can create powerful results over time. Even during challenging economic periods, try to focus on what you can control: your spending, saving, and earning decisions.
