October Buys that will save you Fistfuls of Dough

Knowing when to buy things can save you a ton of money over your lifetime. Patience is rewarded when you buy things at the right time (especially on big purchases) and you won’t suffer buyer’s remorse. Waiting for the best time to make your purchases will get you what you want with change left over!

New Cars

With the New Year just around the corner, most prospective car owners want to hold off buying to get next year’s model. This means that you can get incredible savings on new cars from dealers who are desperate to ditch their stock before the yule tide. Ignore car salesman complaints that they are broke and trying to save for Christmas and haggle, haggle, haggle. Sure, your resale value will be a little lower when you choose to sell your car, but the saving your make initially will more than make up for that.

Gas Grills and Air Conditioners

You know that, come summer, you’ll be so glad you did! October is the perfect time to make these purchases as it’s far enough away from Christmas not to have too much of a financial impact, and most stores are trying to get rid of their left over summer stock.

Wedding and Party Supplies

As the outdoor event season comes to a close, suppliers will try to make room for the festive season stock. Savvy brides-to-be can get really great deals when they plan ahead.

Jeans

Back-to-school sales have petered off and clothing stores will be getting rid of their excess stocks at rock bottom prices.

Health Insurance

Most companies start taking on new clients in October and offer special deals for prospective clients. Ensure that you are up-to-date with health care legislation before you start shopping around and, if you are not already on it, ask your employer if they have health insurance plans for employees.
