HOMESTEAD HOW-TO
March is the perfect time to stock up on essentials that will serve you well throughout the year and into the next winter. As retailers clear out seasonal items and offer discounts, it’s a great opportunity to buy necessities at lower prices before costs continue to rise.
This is the perfect time to buy quality cold-weather gear for future winters or emergency preparedness kits. If you’re shopping for children, buy items a few sizes larger to ensure they fit when winter returns.
March is National Frozen Food Month, which means grocery stores offer discounts on frozen vegetables, fruits, meats, and pre-packaged meals.
Spring planting season means garden centers and hardware stores start rolling out deals on seeds, potting soil, compost, raised beds, and gardening tools.
With allergy season just around the corner, antihistamines, nasal sprays, and eye drops will soon be in high demand. Buying these items in March means avoiding price increases and shortages when peak allergy season hits.
Spring cleaning sales bring markdowns on disinfectants, paper towels, sponges, and storage containers. Take advantage of these deals to restock household essentials while organizing your prepper pantry.
Ski and snowboard equipment, winter hiking boots, and insulated outdoor gear go on clearance in March as retailers prepare for warm-weather inventory.
