Quiz: Everyday Savings in March 2026

March is a good time to buy the supplies you need, at discounts of 40 to 70 percent. “Retailers run stock-up sales and bundle offers on disinfecting wipes, sprays, bleach and laundry sanitizers,” one expert says. “We see some of the best Clorox deals this month.”

If you want to get a jump start on your summer travel plans, this month is a good time to book hotels, flights, car rentals and vacation packages. March is when companies offer competitive prices before rates go up, with “early-booking” deals for hotels. Check the AARP Travel Center for discounts.

Many retailers fire up sales of 20 to 40 percent off on grills and outdoor furniture in March. “As spring gets near, early-season patio and barbecue gear goes on sale to pique the interest of buyers excited about the grilling season,” says one discount shopping expert.

While discounts aren’t as hefty as those seen on Black Friday, retailers do run TV deals throughout the entire first quarter of the year. You may see the larger price deductions later in the month, tied to the end of the March Madness basketball tournament, for those looking to upgrade ahead of the Final Four games.
