Did you know that there are different things on sale each month of the year?
A while back I put together a Month to Month Shopping Guide that lists the best items to buy each month to save money!
Here I am highlighting the best items to buy this month!
August
In August of course you’ll find all the back to school deals. Now is the time for the lowest prices on pencils, pens, binders, notebooks, folders, glue and calculators. I always stock up on these items for my home office at this time of year too!
There are also special days to note which could mean discounts!
Root Beer Float Day is August 6th. There may be deals online.
Thrift Shop Day is August 17th – watch for thrift store sales.
National Waffle Day is August 24th, so watch for waffle deals at places like Denny’s.
August is the best time to buy:
-Swimwear and other end of summer deals like air conditioners, lawn mowers and yard equipment
-Camping gear: Best prices on tents and other outdoor gear now
-Luggage
-Back to school supplies
-Computers
-Fall fashions
-Lunch box foods including peanut butter and jelly, snacks, juice boxes
What NOT to Buy Right Now:
Amazon devices. These were just at their cheapest prices in July during the Prime Day sale, and they won’t be as cheap again until closer to Black Friday.
Appliances and mattresses. Wait until Labor Day sales if you can – prices will be way better, and they’re only a month away!
