If you are anything like me, you LOVE a good deal. Luckily for me (and you), we have access to lots of information on the best time to make purchases right at our fingertips. With a little bit of research, I have compiled some information for you on the best time to buy some great products!
Electronics
April/May/June/August/September
Japanese manufacturers end theirย fiscal year in March, so you can findย great deals on TVs and other bigย electronics in the spring. New modelsย of digital cameras, video recordingย devices, etc. are revealed at theย January Consumer Electronics Show,ย so the second quarter of the year is aย great time for deals on older models.ย Major computer companies put outย new models in July, so older modelย discounts and back-to-school salesย start in August and September.
Dish-ware
June/July
Wedding season means great dealsย on dishes for everyone.
Gymย Memberships/ย Equipment
June
New Yearโs resolutions are a distantย memory, so gyms sometimes offerย good deals, and you may be able toย haggle for even better prices. Gymย equipment can be found at discountsย at this time for the same reasons.
Cars
September/October
New models usually come out atย the end of the summer, so manyย dealerships offer good discounts toย clear out last yearโs inventory.
Boats
January/February/March
It is off-season for boats as well asย boat show season, so you can get aย good deal on last yearโs models.
Clothing
January/July
In January, the holiday rush is overย and stores give deep discounts to getย rid of winter inventory. In July, spring/ย summer inventory needs to go toย make room for fall/winter clothing.
Furniture
January/July
Most furniture companies releaseย new products in February andย August, so they offer great deals inย January and July to make room.
Tools
June/July
If you have a hankering forย DIY projects, Fatherโs Day andย summertime deals combine at thisย time for great prices on tools.
Weddingย Services/ย Supplies
December/January/February
Most furniture companies releaseย new products in February andย August, so they offer great deals inย January and July to make room.ย Everyone tends to want a spring/ย summer wedding, so it is easierย to negotiate prices on venues,ย photography and all kinds ofย wedding supplies in the winter.
Linens/ย Bedding
January
In 1878, John Wanamaker decidedย to increase store traffic by declaringย January the month for a โwhite saleโย (sheets only came in white at theย time). Ever since, linens and beddingsย have traditionally been discountedย this month! Thanks, John!
Officeย Furniture
May
Most home businesses start upย after tax day, so you can usuallyย find great deals on office chairs andย desks in May.
Appliances
May/September/October
New refrigerator models come outย in May, while most other new modelย appliances come out in September/ย October. These are the best times toย buy last yearโs models.
Luggage
March
It is between vacation seasons, so youย should be able to snag a good deal.
Golf Clubs
March/December
New models start coming out inย March, so around this time theย old clubs start getting pushed outย the door of your local golf shop.ย December is off-season and alsoย a good time for deals.
Office/Schoolย Supplies
August
Back-to-school sales mean goodย deals on all kinds of office and schoolย supplies.
