How to use a sale period sensibly

Short answer: A sale is only a saving if you would have bought the item anyway. Buy what you use up, not what has been reduced most.

Buy what you use up

Socks and underwear wear out and have to be replaced regardless. There a sale period is genuinely a saving. See all bamboo socks for men.

Buy several the same

If you have found a model that fits, a sale period is the time to buy five more. See bamboo underwear for men.

Do not try something new in a sale

A cut you have not tried may turn out not to fit. Buy one first, not five. See bamboo underwear for women.

Check the size first

A saving on something that does not fit is no saving. See guide to briefs and underwear.

Keep track of what you have

If you know what is worn out in the drawer, you know what to buy. See washing and care.
