Summer's not over yet!

It's still summer!!

Why have all the bathing suits and beach chairs been swapped out for Halloween decorations? 
It's not time yet!

Despite the fact that it's no where near time to start planning a Halloween party (and whatever happened to Labor Day?)...there's still some summer left to enjoy.

To make the ending a little less bittersweet, you can get some great deals on patio furniture right now.
The box stores have long ago swapped out their grills for dorm room decorations, but if you look closely, you'll save a ton of money.

Sears has moved all of their patio furniture out of the warehouses and into the stores for easy shopping. You can also get it delivered to your house for free if you spend enough. (This is a huge plus for people without pickup trucks for the giant furniture boxes).

You can pick up this sweet little beachy set at Sears for $499.97...marked down from $999.99. 
Saving 500 bucks isn't shabby!


If you've had your eye on something from Crate & Barrel, this might be your chance. Most of the stuff is marked down (although admittedly not enough to make it super affordable). But, some of the goodies are marked way down!


Been longing for a chaise lounge? You could pick up this one with Sunbrella fabric (above) online for...brace yourself...$248.95! That's a huge mark down from the original $849. Which, let's face it, none of us were willing to pay. You'd have enough left for a few pillows! Score!
(Also available in "kiwi" and the "stone" color shown below on the loveseat).

Or! You could get this Sunbrella fabric rocking loveseat for $498.95, a big markdown from the original $1,149. (It also comes in a cool green "kiwi")


Summer can go, if it has to. But let's let it go kicking and screaming.
...and let's save some money in the process.
