Step 1
Know exactly what you want to shop for. When you walk in the store, it can be easy to become distracted because of the many sale racks just begging to be gone through. By knowing what you need you can save time and money.
-
Step 2
Make a detailed list. By writing the store name and what items you want to look for underneath, you might have an easier time remembering which stores have the best sales. This is only necessary if you feel that it will help you. It really depends on how many stores you want to shop at and how much you plan to buy.

Step 3
Arrive early. Sales draw many people to the store at all hours so you want to arrive early to make sure you get some great deals. Getting there later could make you miss out on some of the best deals.
-
Step 4
Wear a watch. Try not to spend too much time in one store. If you have many places you plan to go to and shop their Labor Day sales, you will need to have enough time. Estimate a time that will allow you enough time to shop one store and then stick to it. If you aren't worried about getting to other stores as early as the first store, then you can skip this step.
-
Step 5
Make a mental map. If you are planning to visit many different stores, you should make a mental map so you aren't driving or walking all over the place. If you already know where the stores are, this will be fairly simple. Just choose the one closest to your house and then map a convenient route to all the other places.
