The Home Depot will be having its second wave of spring sales.

Last year, they even had a pre-sale for their Spring Savings Event to kick off April so we definitely recommend keeping an eye out for some hot deals all month long. This will be a great time to stock up on outdoor and garden essentials like mulch, flowers, pavers, grass seed, wheelbarrows, charcoal, ladders, and more!

You can watch the total solar eclipse for free on April 8th.

A total solar eclipse is a rare and beautiful thing to experience and best of all it’s FREE! The next event won’t happen again until August 2044, so if you’re able to catch this event of the decade it’s surely going to be worth your while.

As a previous total eclipse viewer said, “During the few minutes of 100% totality, you don’t have to wear glasses – the disc of the moon blots out the sun but makes all the more visible the peripheral rage of the sun – the true extent of its light and radiation, the phenomena of the sun that you don’t get to see because it is too bright. Your whole world goes dark in the middle of the day, the crickets chirp, animals become uneasy and howl, it gets noticeably colder, and shadows of the unseen elements of the Earth’s atmosphere dance across the ground like an astronomical disco. It is awe-inspiring.” Needless to say, this is a FREE event you don’t want to miss!

Target’s Car Seat Trade-In Event is a great time to stack the 20% off coupon with sales for new baby gear. 

In April, Target will be hosting its super popular Car Seat Trade-In Event where you can recycle an old, expired, or damaged car seat and redeem it for a coupon valid for 20% off one car seat, stroller, or select baby gear item. The coupon can be used in-store or online for a limited time. Last year the event took place from April 16th to April 29th so we anticipate the sale to start towards the middle of April if history repeats itself.

Even better, the coupon can typically be used on car seats, strollers, or other baby gear even if they are already on sale! On top of that, you can use your Target RedCard holder discount too. This is seriously the best time to trade in your old car seat and save on the next seat that your baby or kiddo needs so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the official dates come April!
