Now is the time to spend
日本のサマーセールは6月末からがシーズンですが
皆さまもう既に夏物はゲットしましたでしょうか?
もう8月に入ると今度は秋冬物!
夏の残り物も安売りされる時期になりますので
買い物を楽しみましょう♪

Now is the time to spend some money on
those summer bargain sales because you
can use those clothes, shoes, accessories
and other items for the future. Often sales
are a good opportunity to stock up on your
wardrobe, cupboards, etc. Sometimes in
the summer I like to buy clothes and shoes
that will keep for more than one season -
it is a good saving! Plus it is a fun way of
shopping. Even summer food sales in
supermarkets are excellent for your hip pocket.
Often late night shopping is a great chance
to find some food or grocery bargains. The
beauty of living in a metropolitan city like
Tokyo is summer sale time in both day and
night. Summer sales last longer in Japan too.
Consider shampoo, soap, detergents, etc
- all these items are often on special during
summer, so take advantage and buy them
while they are cheaper!
stock up on=ため込む、買い込む=buy extra things
wardrobe=洋服箪笥
cupboard=食器棚
Hip pocket=「腰のポケット」から財布や所持金という意味で使われるため
この文脈では、セールでお金を節約するという事になります。
