Did you know there are certain months that you can buy certain things and save money? I’ve been reading up on this and it seems to be true.
Here is what I’ve found:
In the month of January of course we’re buying Super Bowl snacks like dips and frozen appetizers, pizza, chips and beer, but stocking up on holiday decorations is one of the smartest money saving things you can do. You have to start early at the first of the year but most shops and stores have all of their decor drastically reduced. It’s also a great time of year to buy your bedding and bathroom linens.
February is when you’ll buy all of the Valentine clearance items to be ready for next year. Make sure you check out perfumes and gift sets as they are always on sale during this time of year. It’s a great time to shop for winter clothes, mittens, boots, coats… All of these items will be going on sale drastically to make room for spring and summer merchandise.
Now March seems to be the best time to buy your paper products, paper towels, trash bags and all of your cleaning supplies and also check out small electronics the pricing seems to be good on these items as well.
If you’re thinking about shopping in April check out the Easter baskets after the holiday for great deals. We can find decorations discounted too. And eggs, April seems to be a great month to get a great deal on eggs. LOL They’re saying it’s a good time to buy cookware, dishes and home goods as well.
And maybe May is best of all for our spring and summer buying. May is probably the most happy shopping for us because we are finally able to break out of our winter freeze and actually get outside and feel like we want to go somewhere. hopefully by May all of the bad weather is gone and the April showers have subsided. When we hit the stores we are welcomed with charcoal and sunscreen, bug spray and grilling utensils. The paper plates, plastic utensils, tablecloth‘s and such are everywhere. I’m sure you’ll be buying burgers and buns and chips and condiments as well. Doesn’t this just sounds wonderful! The decor in the stores is so bright and happy. You can’t help but feel uplifted!
Now June shopping moves us directly into the summertime and with that brings Father’s Day and when Father’s Day rolls around you start seeing tool sets, greeting cards, neck ties and shirts. There’s car washing kits and gardening things, golf clubs and sports equipment too. And tools, did I mention tools, I think I did but yes there are lots and lots of tools. The stores seem to direct themselves to display fatherly gifts. June also sets up the stores for the upcoming Fourth of July. You will find lots of groceries on sale preparing for this holiday!
When July rolls around we are ready for in the heart of of it all. Clothes, patriotic decorations, burgers, chips, soda and everything that implies summer! Some stores offer Christmas in July and for some people that’s a lot of fun!
August is a great time to dress up your patios as the furniture starts getting marked down. It’s a great time to buy gardening supplies and fresh pool toys too. It seems people are packing lots of picnics and wrapping up their summer, be sure you check the racks for some new flip-flops. It’s also time to start watching for deals on lunch foods such as snack size chip bags, canned fruit and granola bars.
Once September hits it seems like life goes in high-speed. School has started and there are office supplies and school supplies everywhere. Back to school everything, clothing can be found at great prices too. With September brings Labor Day and lots of last minute Picnic‘s and cookouts to stock up for.
October is a great month for final summer clearance sales. Stores are making room for holiday. Home appliances are usually on sale this month. It’s a good month to buy your baking supplies such as flour, sugar and all of your mixes.
November brings Halloween costumes discounts and decorations are discounted too! Then there are big-time grocery sales, and turkeys everywhere! Then prepare yourselves for the mother of all sales – Black Friday and cyber Monday. It’s the best time to buy televisions and electronics.
And last but not least the best month for shopping of all is December. You will find lots of deals on groceries early in the month. You can catch deals on Christmas cards, decorations, and wrapping paper after the holiday. Almost every store has something on sale in December. If you’ve waited all year to find the best sales you can my guesses December and January would be your jackpot.
The thing with this cycle is it starts over again. Even though it seems monotonous and sometimes all-too-familiar the months fly by very quickly. Take the time to enjoy each and every month, each and every day, and each and every minute. And if along the way you happen to get a great deal on something, well – that’s just going to make you even happier!
