Best Months to Buy Certain Items

It used to be that each month of the year was associated with certain items on sale - like the January and August WHITE SALES -  and bargain shoppers waited for those sales to make their purchases. In this competitive market, those sales are going by the wayside but there are still some tips for saving money promoted by consumer groups who know the market best.

Often, the Christmas shopping season offers the best bargains and lowest prices of the year as retailers compete for the holiday shopping dollars.

KNOW WHAT IS ON SALE -  In some cases, your bargain might be a discontinued model without all the latest features. That may or not may matter to you, often more features come with more things to go wrong.

BEST BUYS ON AIRLINE TICKETS
Airline tickets tend to be least expensive to buy on Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. Worst days to fare shop are Saturday and Sunday.

CDs and DVDs generally come out on Tuesdays and might be on sale for the first one to three weeks.

Jewelry Sales sales are common, except around Valentine's Day and the December holidays. So plan to buy early or hope that your beloved will settle for an IOU.
