Discount LinensFinding a good bargain when shopping for just about anything is important to consumers. However, discounters and wholesale warehouses are having a difficult time making headway in promoting discount linens to consumers. The problem that they face selling items like comforter sets and linens, is that their competitors, namely department stores, offer the exclusive brands that consumers have already been introduced to. For example Martha Stewart’s linen line has been marketed exclusively to K-Mart. Consumers who subscribe to Martha Stewart’s magazine or who watch her on television will be more willing to pay a little extra for her products at a department store, even though discount linens offered by a warehouse stores cost 10 to 15 percent less and offer similar styles, quality, and designs. If you are a consumer this marketing problem can actually work in your favor. In order to compete with department stores, wholesalers and discount stores really have to mark down their discount linens in order to move them. Because of this you can buy a higher quality product, with a higher thread count, and made by a better manufacturer for a lower price. You can find even bigger savings by looking for warehouse sales, special white sales, or by responding to special buy one get one free offers. While shopping at a discounter is a great way to get a good deal on linens, you don’t have to shop at one of these stores to get a great deal. Another option that you have is to shop at a department store. Department stores will each carry their own selection of brand names and designs. Kmart is known for carrying Martha Stewart linens and Target is known for carrying its own private label. To find the best deals on linens in department stores you will want to wait for a white sale where all the products in the linens department goes on sale all at once. During this sale you can get a great deal on coordinating items for your bathroom or bedroom. Another option that you have for buying discount linens is to buy them through a discount importer. These stores offer imported linens and fabrics, among other items, from countries known for their quality textiles. For example you can find quality Egyptian cotton sheets, bedding, and towels at these stores. You generally will find that these stores offer better prices on their linens then department stores or bedding stores do. The final option that you have for obtaining your linens at a good price is to make them yourself. To save the most money you will want to look for fabric sales, clearance sales, and going out of business sales. During these special promotions you will be able to find fabric like cotton, flannel, terry cloth, and linen at extremely low prices. You will also be able to find sewing accessories and supplies on sale, so your total price for creating a custom set of sheets will generally be at least 30 percent less than the price of a set of designer sheets.
