The month of May brings nicer weather and great deals, and not just for Memorial Day. Here is what to buy and what to skip in May.
Buy: Major Appliances
Memorial Day sales usually start a week or two before the big weekend, and items like refrigerators, washers and dryers, and dishwashers will be at their lowest prices. This is the time to refurbish your kitchen or washroom with great deals. Check online before you go out to see if there are any more deals. Look at each store and shop around for the best price.
Skip: Swimwear
If you want that new stylish bathing suit for your beach or pool days, wait a little longer for the best prices. Sales for swimwear usually happen during the month of June. By waiting just a bit for that bathing suit you could save big time. Have some patience and wait for those prices to drop.
Buy: Spring Attire
Prices will drop and sales will start on spring clothing now that it’s gotten warmer. These clothes have been in stores for weeks, so check out the clearance section and see what they have. Check out stores online and see if they have any deals or “member only” prices for signing up. Shop often enough and you may get an email with coupons as well.
Skip: Home Electronics
Memorial Day sales events are not the best time to grab a new computer or game system. Prices for these items are lower later in the year during Black Friday sales. If you can’t wait until November, you could try the “Black Friday in July” sales that have sprung up in recent years.
