what to buy and when to buy it<\/strong> can make a big difference.<\/p>\nHere are some of the best things to look for during October.<\/p>\n
1. Outdoor Furniture and Grills<\/h3>\n
If you have been wanting a new patio set, outdoor chairs, fire pit or grill, October can be a great time to shop. Retailers are clearing out warm-weather inventory to make room for winter and holiday merchandise.<\/p>\n
The selection may not be as large as it was during the summer, but if you are flexible on color or style, you can find some significant markdowns.<\/p>\n
2. Jeans<\/h3>\n
October is a particularly good month to look for denim. The back-to-school shopping rush is over, while retailers are still promoting fall clothing. Jeans for both adults and kids can be worth watching for during October sales.<\/p>\n
This is especially helpful if your kids seem to outgrow their jeans overnight!<\/p>\n
3. Halloween Candy and Costumes<\/h3>\n
If you need Halloween candy or a costume, keep an eye on prices as October gets closer to Halloween. Retailers want to move their remaining inventory, so discounts generally become better as Halloween approaches.<\/p>\n
If you can wait until November 1, that is when you will typically find the deepest discounts. Of course, that doesn\u2019t help much if you need candy for trick-or-treaters!<\/p>\n
4. Holiday Gifts<\/h3>\n
October is also a good month to start your holiday shopping<\/strong>. Major retailers are holding large sales events, including Amazon\u2019s Prime Big Deal Days on October 6-7, Target\u2019s Circle Deal Days and Walmart\u2019s October sales event.<\/p>\nI recommend making your Christmas list before shopping these sales. That way, you are looking for specific items instead of buying random things simply because they are marked down.<\/p>\n
5. Gardening Supplies<\/h3>\n
October can also be a good time to pick up gardening tools, outdoor supplies and other end-of-season items. Retailers are clearing out seasonal inventory, which can mean lower prices on products you can store and use next spring.<\/p>\n
One Thing I Would Skip<\/h3>\n
If you don\u2019t need new electronics right now, I would wait before making a major purchase. October sales can be tempting, but Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner, and traditionally bring some of the year\u2019s biggest electronics discounts.<\/p>\n
My biggest October budgeting tip? Don\u2019t confuse a sale with a savings.<\/strong> Make your list first, check prices, and only buy something if it fits your budget and you actually need it. That\u2019s how you turn a sale into real savings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October is one of my favorite months for finding good deals.
