Being frugal is not about depriving yourself of things you want, it’s about getting what you want at a price you can afford. Often times, that means being patient, very patient. Timing is a big part of saving and shopping when you’re on a budget. One way to shop is by month and season! Every month is a better month than others to shop for certain items.
With all the sales abounding this month and stores trying to use the holiday season to get you in the store, make sure you’re getting a good deal! Here are the best things to buy in December!
1.Cookware December is traditionally the time of year retailers discount housewares, in general. With all the holiday cooking and parties, stores are hoping you pick up some new pots and pans from their store. It makes a great functional gift too!
2. Bikes For somewhat obvious reasons, December is a great month to buy a bike! Since most of the country is too wet, too cold or too covered in snow, the last thing on shopper’s minds are bikes, so look for deep discounts!
3. Tools How many commercials have you seen lately for tool sales? Too many to count probably! Look for deals on tool kits that come in handy box packages. Watch for big discounts on tool kits. They make great gifts for college students away from home!
4. Kinect and Xbox The Kinect and Xbox have been out for awhile now, so this month will be a great time to find super low deals on them and on other consoles. There are also great games out for every age and gender, so look for deals on the games too!
5. Cars! According to Yahoo! and TrueCar.com, December is the best month to buy a car. After analyzing data from the past 3 years, not only did they find December to be the cheapest month, but 6 of the 10 cheapest days ALL YEAR to buy a car are in this month! December 14-31 are the cheapest days, in the cheapest month to buy a car!
Not everything this month is a great deal but if you stick with the top 5, you won’t go wrong! What are you planning to buy this month?
