‘essentials’ are rarely put on deep discount sales. manufacturers and retailers know you’re gonna buy regardless. even the discount retailers like walmart and target don’t put a lot of ‘essentials’ on black friday deals anymore. used to get a pair of jeans, some socks, shorts and tees, a new hoodie, and a few other things every year, to replace what’s worn out or been eaten by the dryer monster, and they were always cheap af–and always some kind or another of those were on sale. but i haven’t been able to the last 5-6 years.
Look for stores similar to TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, Citi Trends (look over, this is irregulars often), etc. They’re my go-to for things like that, assuming they’re in your area.
i’m in a small town, away from everything. any money saved by driving to a large city to shop is spent on fuel to make the drive there and back. even the nearest ‘outlet mall’ is a joke, because it’s in a tourist trap town–and it, itself, is one, too.
