Prep Now. Purchase Later.

ATTENTION! TANGERSTYLE FALL COUPONS ARE IN!

Do you know what that means? Three (3, not 1, but 3) 25% OFF one item coupons and one 20% OFF ENTIRE PURCHASE coupon (at participating retailers only).

Make sure you check your mailbox this week!

Savers, it’s time to prep. Any good saver would plan ahead on how to maximize a deal like this. I’ve combined my passion for savings and my love for organizing and voila, my top-notch tips and tricks on my purchase prep for the new season.  

Tip #1: Organize Smart

Prepping for a new season starts with organizing my closet. I wouldn’t say “out with the old; in with the new”, but a deep dive into my wardrobe is definitely step 1. After breaking a sweat arranging my clothes and shoes into seasons, I was ready to consult the TangerStyle Fall Style Guide to help me decide what to keep and what to donate. I ended up drinking wine and making an evening out of it with friends (shout out to my Carrie Bradshaw fans).

I wouldn’t say my closet’s as perfect as hers – but it sure is cleaner. I know exactly what I need and have just the right amount of empty space for my new fall clothes to fill.

Tip #2: Plan Your Savings

As you now know, Tanger just released their TangerStyle Fall Guide with HUGE savings! Reminder: There are three 25% OFF single item coupons and one 20% OFF entire purchase. I like to spend my entire purchase coupon one of two ways so check back next week to find out! 🙂

The 25% OFF single item coupons are obvi good for anything at participating stores, just keep that in mind when you’re shopping. Tip: Carry a calculator (or your smart phone) with you (I know, I am lame) and run the numbers while you shop. You want to use these coupons as best as possible in stores, and this always helps me!

Also, download the Tanger Outlets mobile app if you haven’t already. They always have deals on the app and run specials! They just did one this week where you got $10 for a $25 purchase. Don’t miss out on these savings! More importantly, once you download your coupons – they’ll be saved in your app and you won’t have to worry about carrying printouts!

Tip #3: Prep your shopping list

I love this part! After going through my closet I realized I have a couple cardigans, long-sleeve dresses and tops still on trend but I really need:

1. Jeans (skinny or flare, dark or light)
2. Ruffled Denim Top
3. Fall Trench Coat
4. Long-Sleeve Tops
5. A Fall Skirt (maybe, jean or suede?)
6. Leggings (as always)

As far as the jeans go, I’m thinking a new style this year. I’m going with some dark flare jeans, different from the ones I wore here. These ones below are from J.Crew Factory on sale for only $39.99.

You may have noticed I also have a jean jacket on my list. Although I might not go completely Britney and Justin at the 2001 AMA’s with denim on denim, it’s a fall staple I’m loving this year.

Well #TangerSavers – there you have it! My top tips and tricks on prepping for shopping a new season! Can’t wait to see what you all use your coupons on. Share with me on Instagram using #TangerSaver and #TangerStyle.
