Grab your clearance stuff now!

If you've walked into your local stores lately, you've probably noticed that right now - just after Independence Day - is a great time for clearance shopping!

Right now, stores are making room for the incoming fall clothing and fall items, so they're marking spring and summer clothing and household items down. Cheap.

Check out the clothing racks, the shoes, and especially the lawn and garden departments for great bargains. In my area, several garden centers and farm stores are marking down plants to rock bottom prices. With perennials, that's a great deal.

Have you found any great clearance deals in your area?
