What to buy (and skip) during spring sales: Amazon, Walmart, Target and more
Retailers typically host their biggest sales of the season during long holiday weekends, but you don't have to wait until the next one to shop for deals. Many of our favorite spring sales are just days away, like Amazon's Big Spring Sale, Walmart's Super Savings Week and Target Circle Week. Others, like Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty and Wayfair's Spring Cyber Week, have already begun. Knowing what to buy and skip is essential to saving during spring sales, especially if you're tightening your budget due to tariffs and inflation. I've been covering sales for five years at NBC Select, so I compiled this shopping guide to help you prepare and consulted experts about their top tips. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. The best spring sales to shop Here are a few of the biggest spring sales you should have on your radar, some of which are only open to loyalty members. To stay updated about them, I recommend signing up for retailers' SMS and email lists — that's how they'll notify you about new discounts, limited-time promos and extended offers. Amazon's Spring Sale is from March 25 to 31. It's open to all shoppers, but Prime members get access to exclusive deals. Target Circle Week is from March 23 to 29. It's open to all Target Circle members, but Target Circle 360 members get early access to the sale on March 22. You can shop the sale online and in stores. Walmart's Spring Savings Sale is from March 24 to April 1. It's open to all shoppers, and it's an online-only event. Lowe's SpringFest is now until April 2. It's open to all shoppers, but MyLowe's Rewards members get access to exclusive deals. You can shop the sale online and in stores. Wayfair Spring Cyber Week is now until March 25. It's open to all shoppers. Ulta 21 Days of Beauty is now until March 27. It's open to all shoppers. You can shop the sale online and in stores. What to buy during spring sales Most spring sales focus on helping you prepare for the season ahead, so the best deals are on products you'll need for the warm weather, says Stephanie Carls, a retail insights expert at RetailMeNot. Spring clothes and footwear: 'Expect sales on spring apparel for men, women and children to overlap with winter clearance,' says Vipin Porwal, the CEO and a consumer savings expert at Smarty. Brands often discount this season's styles by about 10% to 30%, and drop prices on season's styles even more to move them off shelves. Porwal specifically recommends looking for deals on running shoes and spring activewear. Spring cleaning supplies: 52% of shoppers plan on spring cleaning this season, according to a recent survey by RetailMeNot — if you're one of them, you'll find lots of cleaning and home improvement supplies on sale across retailers. Look for discounts on sprays and scrubs, vacuums and steam cleaners, as well as products to refresh the look of your home, like area rugs, window treatments and bedding, says Porwal. Gardening tools: This is the best time of year to save on anything garden-related, like plants, lawn seeds, bulbs, pots, raised beds, mulch, fertilizer and tools, says Carls. You'll also see deals on patio furniture and outdoor lighting. Beauty and skin care: 'Many retailers in the beauty and skin care world have sales at this time of year as new scents and products come out for the spring and summer seasons,' says Carls. What to skip during spring sales It's tempting to start browsing grills, pool supplies, bathing suits, sandals, fans and air conditioners as soon as it's consistently sunny, but don't stock up on these summer-related products just yet. Retailers are just starting to sell the newest models, so you won't see strong discounts on them until the middle to end of summer, says Carls. Unlike three-day holiday weekends, the spring sales happening now are not a lucrative time to shop for big-ticket home items like appliances, mattresses and furniture, says Porwal. If you have those products on your wish list, wait to buy them until Memorial Day sales start toward the end of May. You also won't see great tech deals during spring sales, says Carls. Hold off on adding TVs, speakers, computers, tablets and headphones to your cart until Amazon Prime Day, which is typically in July, and back-to-school sales. Is shopping spring sales worth it? All the experts I spoke to agree that shopping spring sales is worth it for two main reasons: The next time you'll see site- and store-wide sales from tons of retailers is Memorial Day (May 26), which is about two months away. Spring sales are your best opportunity to save on products across categories until then. Tariffs and inflation are putting economic pressure on households, especially because the prices of essential items like groceries keep rising. This is chipping away at people's ability to send on non-essential goods and services, causing them to have an overall negative outlook on the economy, says Shannon Grein, an economist at Wells Fargo. In fact, 49% of Americans opt to buy less amid recent tariff news, according to a recent survey by Smarty. That's why shopping spring sales are so beneficial — it helps you buy what's on your wishlist, be it essential or non-essential, while being budget-conscious. How to save the most during spring sales Knowing what to buy and skip is only one aspect of strategic shopping. To get the most out of spring sales, follow the tips below, too. Sign up for email lists or SMS programs to stay updated about your favorite brands' and retailers' spring sales. They use these platforms to contact shoppers quickly, and some offer exclusive discount codes. Enroll in loyalty programs like Amazon Prime, Walmart+ and Target Circle if you want to take advantage of member-exclusive deals. Some loyalty programs offer free memberships, too. Compare prices on items across similar retailers to ensure you're getting the lowest price possible. 'Anytime you have pretty much all retailers throwing sales, you want to check out the competition's price before you buy,' says Carls. 'In addition to price tags, look at shipping fees and promo codes. If another retailer has a promo code that gets you an additional 10% off, or includes the item you want in a buy one, get one offer, you'll be glad you checked.' Activate cash-back offers so you can get refunded for a percentage of your spending. Consider paying with a credit card, especially for larger items, so you can earn points or take advantage of other special offers.

It would look great in a bedroom or entryway with its whimsical floral border. Breakwater Bay Natural Jute Area Rug in Brown, 8-Feet by 10-Feet Snagging a hand woven rug on a budget is a difficult task. Once in a blue moon, you can find a jute rug marked down but rarely do we ever see one of this size for 80% off.

He was in shock at first but has since agreed that this light is super cool! It's completely transformed our kitchen with a modern and warm-but-funky vibe. We also installed it on a slightly sloping ceiling without the adapter so it is possible. Also we didn't use any of the extender tubes as our ceiling was just barely high enough for the base length. Also you can move the arms around as needed. Highly recommend!" — Erin 11. A touch-control kitchen faucet for 58% off because it's a whole lot easier (and also way less messy) to turn the water on simply by touching your wrist or forearm anywhere along the spout or handle. As if that wasn't ~sophisticated~ enough, it also has an LED light that changes color based on the water temp! Wayfair Promising review:"The family loves this high-tech faucet.

A bar cart for 23% off so you can have your own ~fancy shmancy~ happy hour sans the overcrowded downtown bar and overpriced drinks. A margarita on the couch? Yep, that's way more your style. Promising review:"I absolutely love this bar cart! I was not sure if I was going to purchase it after reading some of the reviews. Some people said it was very difficult to put together, it was honestly super easy! I was intimidated before I open the box but once I looked at the instructions it was really easy. The bar cart is great quality and gorgeous! I easily recommend this purchase." — Leasing Office 15. A gold floor lamp for 75% off with a decorative S-shaped twist and plenty of ~posh~ vibes. Just what your living room needs! Angelina/Wayfair Promising reviews:"Much prettier in real life than in the picture. The hardest part of putting it together was getting the lampshade on evenly. Will be ordering a second one for another corner of the family room." — Sara "Great lamp, beautiful gold!! If putting it in your living room, do a bright daylight light bulb." — Domonique 16. A white contemporary-style desk for 71% off that reviewers find to be gloriously spacious (yet still relatively small in size) while also providing a great workspace. The fact that it's also pretty stylish is really just a bonus! Promising review:"Love my desk, I originally bought this in 2013 and I gave it away to get a new, more modern looking desk. Big mistake. So happy I was still able to purchase this desk again! Amazing storage, great work space. Yes, it does take time to put together but it is very sturdy and worth the effort. Not the best picture but I did change the handles with mini brass hex knobs from CB2. Totally changes the look of the desk. :) I will be so sad if they stop making this desk! There is nothing out there like it! Such a great workspace. :)" — Patty 17. A set of 10 cabinet pulls for 62% off giving you an easy (and affordable) way to spruce up your kitchen — even if you rent! These are quite easy to install/swap out but will make a huge difference in making the place look more modern. Wayfair Promising review:"I love these, they have looked amazing in every picture I've seen. They look amazing in person, I love them on my uppers and my drawers. I just hate them on the lower cabinets. They stick out pretty far which in all other kitchens with countertops that have an inch or more of overhang wouldn't be an issue. My counter tops have a quarter-inch of overhang so these really stand out. Install was easy, shipping quick, each drawer pull has a bit of variation which looks authentic. Quality is 10 out of 10." — Megan 18. A stylish pet crate for 51% off since it doubles as a trendy and decorative piece of furniture. No more boring, ugly crates cramping your ~aesthetic.~ Promising review:"I acquired a third dog, and wanted to have a better look in my living room for the crates. These look great, and the pups love them. They were very easy to assemble, and a week in, they are holding up very well. All three of my dogs are crate trained, and are in their crates while I work." — Georgette 19. A set of four Adirondack chairs for 20% off so you and all your friends can lounge about in the backyard, soaking up the sun and making memories when the temps finally warm up. 20. A Persian-inspired area rug for up to 80% off to add a subtle pop of color and sophistication. It's a perfect addition for a room that needs a little extra ~something~ but not necessarily a new focal point. Promising review:"Such a beautiful, neutral rug. It makes a statement without fighting for attention. It does a great job of hiding stains, and it cleans up very well. It feels really soft under [my] foot. We added a pad for extra comfort. The color matches the picture on Wayfair, but it is even prettier in person. I love it." — Lydia 21. An ergonomic office chair for 32% off if you're ready to level up your WFH game. You might not be the big salary boss, but you can at least feel like you're in charge when you're taking a conference call from this sleek, CEO-worthy seat. Melissa/Wayfair, Wayfair Promising review:"Super comfortable and chic!!!! Looks great with my desk and very modern. Rolls easy and enjoy that the arms are slim and fit easy under the desk. Also LOVE the rose gold." — Christina 22. A Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven for 40% off since it's just as gorgeous and high-performing as the more expensive brands, only way more budget-friendly, especially since it's on sale. Fresh sourdough bread, steamy stews, hearty roasts, and more await you! Wayfair 23. A metal-framed distressed accent mirror for 43% off so you can enter your Disney villain era and ask Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? JK in all seriousness, your reflection will look pretty mesmerizing in this eye-catching piece of decor. Wayfair Promising review:"This mirror was beautiful in person and very well-made. The color is a muted gold tone and was the perfect accent piece for my space. A subtle way to make a statement." — Shreenah Price: $107.99+ (originally $190+; available in two sizes) 24. An open ladder bookshelf for 81% off to artfully showcase all your knickknacks, photos, and books together in a sleek display. Is it storage or stylish decor? Trick question — it's both! Wayfair Promising review:"This is an adorable bookshelf. It was easy to assemble, and took less than an hour. It's not really heavy, but is very sturdy. All the pieces were in the box, although I did have a few wooden dowels leftover." — Kristy Price: $49.99+ (originally $265, available in two colors) 25. A granite-top rolling kitchen cart for 55% off for some extra counter space wherever you need it. You can use it as a bar cart, coffee station, meal prep area, or whatever else you can think of. Mark/Wayfair Promising review:"Absolutely LOVE my new cart…excellent value and looks amazing while being extremely functional…highly recommend!" — Michelle Price: $199.99 (originally $439.99; also available in black) 26. A sleek and modern LED table lamp for 29% off that's as impressive as it looks. It has a three-way dimmer system that's completely controlled by touch AND a built-in USB port for charging up your devices! Wayfair PS: The 60W LED light bulb *is* included. Promising review:"These are classy, and the metal touch dimmable feature is sooooo convenient for a bedside accent lamp. Excellent soft light to read in at the end of the day or just give the room a nice ambiance. Splurged on two and I have zero regrets." — Lauren Price: $38.99+ (originally $54.99; available in two shade colors) 27. A set of four agate coasters for 71% off so you can protect your tabletops and counters from condensation but also have something fascinating to stare at. Each one has its own unique pattern, but you can also customize the coasters for even more *pizzazz*. Truly, these are such a ~gem~. Wayfair Promising reviews: 'These look great in contrast to my marble table. Immediate comments on how nice they were. Would buy these again without question.' — Kyle "Holy gorgeouuusssss. They have rubber feet for practicality. The chicest way to coaster." — Sara Price: $40.38+ (originally $139.99, available in seven colors and with personalization options) You, twirling around in a field of spring flowers and celebrating your new purchases from Wayfair's Spring Cyber Week Sale: Fox Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
