Welcome to the Frugal Forecast, your monthly insider’s guide to uncovering seasonal savings from the Coupon Craze staff. Of course, you already know about the big holiday sales, but the first week of every month The Frugal Forecast goes it a step further with insights into industry-specific sales trends that'll help you scoop up the best deals at just the right time. Plus, you'll get a heads up on our staff's picks for the 5 best new coupons this month—and the 5 best expiring ones you may want to grab before the month's over.

So here’s our Forecast for the 5 best ways to save in June.

#1) Spring Clearance Sales

June reigns supreme as the month retailers load up on summer inventory, which means big clearance sales on spring merchandise (http://www.couponcraze.com/seasonal/spring-coupons). First, Spring Clearance also means apparel retailers (http://www.couponcraze.com/category/clothing-shoes-coupons) are cutting prices to make room for summer fashions. And if you're thinking of sprucing up your yard, now's the time to consider new patio furniture with great deals from stores like Crate & Barrel (http://www.couponcraze.com/coupons/crate-and-barrel-coupons).

#2) Get Ready for Graduation

June marks a major milestone for about 5 million high school and college students: Graduation! (http://www.couponcraze.com/seasonal/graduation-coupons)—and retailers know that this is the time to compete for your business. Keep an eye out for deals on laptop computers, clothes, and even home essentials (http://www.couponcraze.com/category/home-kitchen-coupons) for the dorm room.

#3) Everything Automotive

Not many people realize that June is one of the best months to get deals on anything automotive. Dealers are typically preparing to add new models and really want to make room on the showroom floor. If you're not thinking of a new car, don't worry, the automotive deals carry over to car fixes and upgrades to personalization (which also make great Father's Day gifts...). 2 top stores for auto deals we love are PartsTrain (http://www.couponcraze.com/coupons/partstrain-coupons) and Auto Parts Warehouse (http://www.couponcraze.com/coupons/auto-parts-warehouse-coupons).

#4) Don't Forget Dad!

Of course, June 19th is Father’s Day (http://www.couponcraze.com/seasonal/fathers-day-coupons), so you’ll see plenty of promotions that'll save you big a=at dad’s favorite stores like Sharper Image (http://www.couponcraze.com/coupons/sharper-image-coupons) and Home Depot (http://www.couponcraze.com/coupons/homedepot-coupons).

#5) Quick (and Cheap!) Getaways

It may feel like a little late for summer vacation planning…which is exactly why June is a great month to find last-minute travel deals (http://www.couponcraze.com/category/travel-coupons). If you have some flexibility in your schedule, travel and hotel sites are looking to close out unsold inventory before summer arrives. Maybe this is the year you fill those last few seats on the plane before it takes off for paradise.

Of course, we've got thousands of other coupons and deals to save you money. So check www.CouponCraze.com as we keep adding new offers daily. In the meantime, here are Coupon Craze's staff picks for our 5 favorite new deals for June—and 5 expiring ones that are really worth a look before we get to July.
