Recently we emailed out our quarterly newsletter and I was impressed by one article that I thought would be nice to share. The article is called Sales Cycles - The Secret to Shopping Savings and was published by All About News, Inc. It contains a very useful calendar outlining month- by-month, which items tend to be on sale according to consumer reports experts. Apparently major sales are cyclical in nature and with proper knowledge and planning, those of us in the know can save big!
Here is the run-down outlining what's on sale and when:
|
January: |
Christmas decorations; Linens; Bikes; Outdoor gear; Furniture; Winter Coats; CDs and DVDs; Cookware; Swimwear; Toys |
|
February: |
Winter clothes; Humidifiers; Small Consumer Electronics; MP3 players and digital cameras; Treadmills |
|
March: |
Video games; China; Computers |
|
April: |
Electronics |
|
May: |
Towels; Athletic apparel; Cordless phones; Small appliances; Mother's Day materials |
|
June: |
Tools; Father's Day materials; Computers; Swimwear |
|
July: |
School supplies; Computers; Furniture; Swimwear |
|
August: |
Pool toys; Sandals; Patio furniture; Air conditioners; Camping equipment; Dehumidifiers |
|
September: |
Summer clothes; Inflatable pools; Gas grills; Shrubs; Trees; Perennials |
|
October: |
Lawn mowers |
|
November: |
Baby products; Toys; Halloween items |
|
December: |
Christmas items (after Christmas); Wedding dresses; Cars |
Of course, not all of these will hold true in every region 100% of the time. In fact I left out "Houses and
Condos" under February's list. I just thought it was too oddball to include considering these days they
are "on sale" pretty much all the time! But you get the idea. If you're in the market for any of the above do a little comparison shopping. It'll only take a few minutes and you could stand to save a significant amount of money.
