Money Saving Tips
Brenda Langdon, Family Resource Management Agent
The fall season is a surprising time for good buys. During the month of September and October these are the sales you might typically see and to be watching for. 💰 Money Saving Tips.
Mattresses - Year after year, September is the time for mattress sales. Expect these from department stores and mattress centers usually as a part of Labor Day sales.
iPhones - If you are needing to upgrade your iPhone, Apple has been known to announce it's new iPhones in September. Usually the unveiling is followed by a drop in prices on the current phones in anticipation of the new models. If you can’t afford the new iPhone 12, but need to upgrade your phone, be watching for sales on the current models. This year, Apple might be off schedule, but I would suggest watching for the Apple Watch in September and iPhone 12 in October.
Appliances - In the week leading up to Labor Day, expect a series of blowout deals on big and small appliances.
Outdoor Furniture - People generally spend less time outdoors when the temperature drops. Expect deals on patio furniture and outdoor living products when summer ends. It’s a good time of year to buy ahead for the next year.
Jeans - Fall inventory arrives in stores in August and September in time for school shopping. You will likely pay top dollar unless you wait a few weeks. October is a great time to buy a new pair of jeans.
Candy - Waiting until it gets closer to Halloween to buy your candy for trick-or-treaters, improves your chances to snag a discounted bag.
Mark your calendar: Labor Day is September 7.
Columbus Day is Oct. 12, and Halloween is Oct. 31 which falls on a Saturday this year.
Freebie day:
National Coffee Day is Sept. 29
National Taco Day is Oct. 4
Upcoming expense to consider and budget for:
Last minute cookouts, car maintenance, wardrobe refresh, labor day getaway, back to school supplies, new clothes for the kids, sports or activity fees, lunch money, vaccinations, and it’s never too early to get a jump start on your Christmas shopping.
