A smart shopper knows not just what to buy, but also when to buy it. As we get closer to the fall season and begin to wrap up our summer days, retailers also follow suit and begin clearing out items that may no longer be in such high demand. This works out for you if you’re in need of some big ticket items, such as grills, mattresses, or even high-end shoes. If you’re looking for a good sale (and there will be tons as Labor Day approaches), then keep this list handy and shop smart this month.
What to Buy in September
Grills – With summer winding down, prices on outdoor grills will likely drop, even though fall weather is still just as nice for an outdoor food session.
Patio Furniture – Same as with grills, outdoor events will likely lighten up, making patio furniture more affordable.
iPhones – With the new model rumored to be announced at the beginning of the month, current models will likely receive a price cut.
Coffee – September 29 is National Coffee Day, so watch out for special offers and deals from well-known coffee spots.
Mattresses – If you’re in need of an update (it’s recommended that you get one every 8 years), then now is the time to search for a deal.
Luxury Clothes and Shoes – Keep an eye out for deals on big names on sale sites such as Gilt, ideel, and Rue La La.
Weekend Getaway – Chances are most people aren’t planning weekend getaways this close to the holiday season and now that kids are back in school, which means you can probably get an incredible deal on hotel stays. Try websites like Orbitz and Expedia for deep discounts.
