Malls usually offer huge discounts during the summer months of March and April. I visited a few shopping malls in Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines in late February and early March this year that offer huge discounts on all winter coat collections. These tropical countries don’t experience any snowfall at all but malls are selling these winter clothes for travellers and visiting tourists. Well, if you want really huge savings on these items, buy them in summer time since there is usually a big sale on most items during this season. Lucky that I got my dad’s brand new turntable (phonograph) from Japan at almost half the selling price. You will also get to enjoy huge savings on any specialty items from Buy.com where they also offer weekly special deals. When they say ’sale’, they really mean it — real discounts, no hidden tricks.
