Sale Cycles: March


Well with it being March, spring is just around the corner! I definetly can't wait!

I actually wanted to post this info at the beginning of March, but since I was in Thailand I didn't get to it. As you may or may not know, sales and deals run in cycles throughout the year.

So, I am going to put up information about what maybe likely to go on sale for the current month we are in...that way you can get a heads up as you plan to stockpile for the future.

Here are the things about March:
Frozen Food Month
Spring Cleaning Month
National Peanut Month

Sales/Deals:
Frozen vegetables (box, bag, steam)
Frozen fruits
Frozen dinners/meals
Ice cream
Waffles
Fill-a-bag or multiple-item deals
Cleansers and household items
Easter Seal theme for insert coupons and promotions

Easter falls in March OR April-
Eggs
Ham
Asparagus
Horseradish
Butter
Coconut
Some Jewish/Passover items not found during other months

Peanuts

St Patrick’s Day –
Potatoes, corned beef, “irish” foods

Gardening supplies


Clearance items:
Winter items
Popsicle, ice cream, frozen novelties, etc (this is the time when “last year’s flavors” are cleared out, packaging redesigned, etc., to make room for the new products in April)

Enjoy,
Shepherd.
