What to Buy (& Skip) in March to Save Money 2023

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!

What to Buy in March to Save Money

It’s Frozen Foods Month!

Frozen foods: Look for great supermarket sales and coupons in your Sunday paper for Frozen Foods month

It’s National Craft Month!

Watch for sales related to craft supplies

St. Patrick’s Day items like corned beef, cabbage, “green”-colored items including pancake mixes

Tax software (The April 15th tax deadline is approaching!)

Winter gear: Coats, skis and boots are being cleared for spring and summer items

Dates to note:

Cereal

National Cereal Day is March 7th, so look for cereal deals around then!

Pizza and pie

March 14th is “Pi” day so watch for great deals on pizza and pie from local restaurants.

Spring Cleaning products

Spring begins on March 20th so watch for deals on vacuums, cleaning products and anything to help you get organized!

What NOT to Buy this month:

TVs – The best sales of the year came just before Super Bowl Sunday in February. The other best time to buy is Black Friday. If you can wait, watch for Amazon Prime Day time, which is usually in July. Even if you’re not an Amazon Prime member, other stores have great deals to compete during this time, like Target and Best Buy.

Big appliances – Like TVs, big appliances like washers and dryers are not at their lowest prices at this time. If you can wait, shop around Memorial Day when there are usually good sales again.

Gym memberships – Wait until April or May when weather warms up, people start working out more outside, and gyms try to lure new members in!
