Ever made the mistake of purchasing an item because it was a good deal only to have it take up prime closet real estate? Check out the amazing tips on Summer sale shopping from EHow.

1. Organize your closets before you shop and make note of the items you won’t need next summer. There’s no sense buying new t-shirts, for example, if the 10 in the closet will still fit next year.

2. Avoid trendy fashion styles on the shoe, clothing and accessory sale racks since the looks will soon be dated. No matter how deep the discounts, an item isn’t a bargain if you won’t wear the color combination or designs next year.

3. Stock up on essentials like versatile shorts, jeans and tank tops that won’t go out of style. Also look for non-clothing items you’ll need next summer, such as beach towels and chairs, casual tableware for the patio, swimsuits and flip-flops.

4. Look for pieces that can even become part of your fall wardrobe. You can layer shirts under sweaters, wear leggings under denim miniskirts or use canvas tote bags all year long, for example.

5. Ask yourself if you would still buy the item if it were full price. If not, you may be under the influence of the sale and don’t necessarily need or want the item. Hold off until you’re sure you’ll wear it. As a bonus, the item will have an even greater discount at the end of the season, although you risk it selling out.
