Columbus Day – The Time To Shop And Save

October 9, 2014 Frugaa Blog

When Christopher Columbus discovered the New World he never could have imagined an America that we live in today. The observance of the day is to celebrate the man credited with discovering our land, but to most American’s Columbus Day is a day of no work, no school, and retail glory. Columbus Day will have a great impact on the economy, as shoppers will take advantage of their day off from work responsibilities and hit the malls and shopping centers with their families and credit cards in town.

Major retailers like Amazon, Macy’s, Best Buy, and Sears will have astronomical savings this Columbus Day. Also, furniture stores like Raymore and Flannigan and Sleepy’s always bring it when it comes to their Columbus Day sales. Many shoppers find this to be one of the most enjoyable retail days of the year and there are a couple of reasons for that. This national shopping day is for many the last chance to shop for ourselves guilt-free before the major holidays kick in. Great opportunities are offered to get ahead of the winter must-haves like coats, gloves, scarves, and boots; also, with all the family and work celebratory events on the horizon this is the time to shop for fall and winter looks that won’t break the bank, in fact, you’ll hardly notice your bank balance change at all. For others, Columbus Day shopping is the best way to kick starts the gift hunt that will continue over the next few months. Popular movies, books, and games will be available at great steals and entertainment products like televisions, sound systems, and blue-ray players will have sales you won’t see again until Super Bowl weekend.
