6 Ways to Avoid Having to Deal with April Fools’ Day

4. Go Shopping

Since spring arrived towards the end of March, stores have managed to justify another round of sales on pretty much everything. For example, Kohl’s is having another Friends & Family sale, which means an extra 20% off on top of sale and clearance prices, and for every $50 you spend, you’ll get $10 Kohl’s Cash to use later. This sale ends April 2, so you still have quite a bit of time to go through and see if any deals catch your eye.

Stores like Charlotte Russe and H&M also have some deals available. With Charlotte Russe, it’s 50% off jeans and shorts; with H&M, it’s 30% off one sale item.

In the geekier realms, ThinkGeek is offering a free T-shirt when you spend $50 or more, and they do have some pieces, like these shirts, skirts, and more on sale. Merchoid has a pile of new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild items for those who still haven’t left Hyrule. Much as we may tease Hot Topic around these parts, they do have a good selection of anime, gaming, and pop culture merchandise, and they’re offering 30% off their entire site today only.

If you don’t want to go out, you can shop all of these sales from the comfort of your couch. Not bad, right?

Of course, especially when it comes to clothes, there’s something to be said for going out and trying things on, if you’re up to it. Size chart guesswork can take the fun out of things.
