FALL SAVINGS: ITEMS TO BUY NOW! You’ve undoubtedly heard about all the electronics that go on sale the day after Thanksgiving, but those aren’t the only items offering big savings when bought in the fall. Here are a few more items to consider. Toys – Have you ever found yourself rolling your eyes at people who do holiday shopping for their children starting in late September? Well, they’re on to something. The current year’s hot new toys comes out in fall, and fantastic bargains can be found on the previous year’s must-haves. Airline tickets – Airlines know that this time of year typically isn’t when people are thinking “vacation.” Because of this, they offer discounts to entice you to buy the ticket for your future travel plans now. Yard/patio supplies – Whether it’s a lawn mower, garden supplies, or a grill, retailers struggle to move summer-related items once temperatures start to drop. You can save money if you start thinking of your needs a season or two in advance. Wedding dress – A lot of marriage proposals happen around the holidays and the folks who run bridal boutiques are well aware of this. Because of the rush of new customers coming into their stores in January, bridal business owners want to have plenty of new dresses for the brides-to-be to choose from. Boutiques often have big sales in the fall to move in new inventory for their busy season in mid-winter. Cookware – For retailers, October and November are a mad dash to clear shelf space for holiday items. Traditionally, cooking tools have received some of the biggest price cuts. Those pots and pans take up a lot of space and store managers want them occupying your kitchen instead of their displays. As always, these tips come with the caveat that it’s best to buy only the things you feel you really need. Spending money on a sale item you don’t need isn’t saving you any money. That said, if some of the above items are already on your shopping list, you’re in luck over the coming months.
