With BLACK FRIDAY just around the corner, it’s good to know the deals on things you just can’t wait for:
7 Things You Should Buy in October
New Cars
October is traditionally one of the best months to buy a new car, as dealerships are eager to offload last year's inventory ahead of new models arriving towards the end of the year. Buy at the end of the day or month when salespeople strive to hit quotas. It's also worth shopping for a new car around the second Monday in October, as Columbus Day deals could lead to big discounts.
Halloween Costumes
You'll find the lowest prices on all things spooky at Amazon and Walmart, where Halloween costumes should sell for as little as $8.
European Vacations
Doesn’t this sound good?! Consider October as your month for European adventure, as it falls within the industry's "shoulder season." This is a period when you can benefit from off-season prices while popular tourist destinations are still set up to entertain visitors. October travelers will enjoy better hotel deals and mix with the locals, rather than joining tourist-swamped queues!
Pizza
October is National Pizza Month, so we're anticipating some top deals on pies from our favorite restaurants and takeout places. Expect tasty deals from Domino's and Papa John’s— Love their support of Clemson Tigers with 1/2 off the day after a gridiron win! We'll also look to Pizza Hut this month for a 25% off coupon.
In-Season Produce
Shopping for in season produce doesn't just make for tastier meals. Prices can drop by up to 50% when fruits and vegetables are at their most plentiful. In October, you can expect to see cheaper pumpkins, cranberries, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and pomegranates.
Plants
Speaking of the growing season, green-thumbed folks who are looking to cut back on the cost of planting should head to their local garden centers this month. As these outlets host their end-of-season sales, you'll see particularly big deals on perennials, which don't need to be replanted each year.
Big savings onTropical plants for those with a big green thumb. Hibiscus sell at low prices during October because they can't survive the colder weather. You can buy them now and nurse the plants indoors until next spring.
Wait Until Black Friday to Buy...
Aside from the notable exceptions we mentioned above, November is generally the best time of year to buy almost everything, thanks to Black Friday.
Appliances
No other month comes close to offering the quantity or quality of appliance deals we see in the run-up to Black Friday.
iPhones
If you're planning on buying a new phone, know that we won't see any direct discounts on these handsets until November.
Laptops
Black Friday week always seems to be the best time of year to buy a new laptop. Budget-conscious shoppers can expect to see no-nonsense 12" Chromebooks fall to $99 at Best Buy
TVs
Don't buy a new TV until Black Friday. Most — if not all — size categories will fall to their best prices of the year.
Electronics
It's not just TVs and laptops that will reach all-time lows in November. All sorts of electronics from headphones to speakers to smartwatches will be great deals!Canon generally hosts its best sale of the year around Black Friday, as well, where you can pick up refurbished DSLR cameras and lenses.
Gift Cards
Whether you're buying gift cards to cut down costs on your own shopping, or you're stocking up for holiday gifts, know that Black Friday will bring with it the best gift card offers of the year thus far.
