Seasonal Discounts You Should Know About

Timing your purchase, especially big ones, can help you save lots of cash. Start thinking and planning purchases as the end of the year fast approaches. Here are some items to buy from October through January. 

New Cars

If you’re looking for a new car, strongly consider shopping from October through January. Why?

• October is when new cars start arriving in the dealerships. That means dealerships will start lowering prices on older models to make room for the new ones.
• In November, there are usually Black Friday deals for new cars.
• Then, in December, it’s the end of the year, and salespeople need to meet quotas. That drives (no pun intended) them to offer good deals on many vehicles. 

Appliances

Just like cars, new models for appliances are typically released starting in October. If you’re looking for a new fridge or dryer, start shopping. The new models will drive the prices down for the older ones.

Electronics

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become great times to buy electronics. You should also consider a TV in late January. That’s right before the Super Bowl, and many retailers will drop their prices before the big game.

Outdoor Furniture

The colder months are the best times to buy outdoor furniture and equipment. Many retailers will discount everything from patio furniture to grills from October through January. 

Do One Thing: At the beginning of the year, mark your calendar for when items are typically less expensive.
