What to Buy and When to Buy it in 2018


Happy New Year! Since we are all about savings at Delaware Deal Finder, let's take a look at when will be the best time to buy certain products as we move through 2018. These suggestions are based on my own experience monitoring sale cycles and are as accurate as my opinion of them, but I've gotten pretty good at this shopping sales gig so here we go...



January
1. Bedding and linens - yes we start off the year with "white sales" so time to stock up on towels and sheets!
2. Fitness equipment and clothing - an obvious category aimed at everyone tackling new years resolutions.




February
1. TVs - hello Superbowl! Can't host a party without having the biggest screen to watch the game on!
2. Winter products - people are already complaining that bathingsuits are out in January, so February is when stores will really want to get winter items out the door before stocking spring items in March.
3. Home goods - president's day means sales at every store, but look for deals on small appliances and home items.




March
This month is kind of like ehhh...you will see some sales as stores launch Spring apparel early but this isn't the time to buy yet.


April
1. Free things with tax time - lots of promos around mid-April. Free coffee, free meals, keep an eye out.
2. Cleaning Equipment - spring cleaning here we come! Good time to buy a vacuum.




May
1. Furniture - Tis' the month of the first holiday in a while. Memorial day sales offer big discounts on furniture.




June
1. Guy things - it's Father's Day this month so sales will target gifts for dad. Think golf, BBQ, shaving supplies.




July
1. Summer clothing - since you are at a half way point for summer, discounts will start.
2. Amazon Prime Day - sales for prime members. Total random assortment of items, but will for sure include Amazon electronics.




August
1. Back to school - yes already. Summer is over, time to stock up on school supplies.
2. Dorm supplies - because back to school includes college, you will find extra sales on storage options and things like sheets, that college students would be buying for their dorms.




September
1. Labor Day sales - I always think of matresses and furniture with this sale cycle.




October
1. Candy - for the super obvious reason
2. Certain clothing - like jeans and other fall items, as we are cycling out of the fall clothing that hit the stores in August.




November
1. Small electronics like laptops and tablets.
2. Home goods - my favorite sale of the year is Kohls Veteran's Day Sale!
3. Gaming systems
4. Black Friday deals - small appliances, clothing, toys.




December
1. TOYS!!! No explanation needed. Our Facebook group is the place to be for all these alerts!
2. Holiday decor, after the holiday season. Stock up on wrapping paper for next year!
3. Cars - sales on older models
4. Winter getaways - last minute deals on vacation packages to warm locations.

The sale opens to the public on July 15th, but you can still preview the sale online and add items to your wish list!  It’s a rainy day here in Delaware, so my daughter and I decided to check out the sale in store and here are some of the kids items we snagged during the early access sale:  Boys : The North face Peril Glacier is an item I buy about every other year during the sale, and we’ve just been sizing up! This is a toddler size item so it goes up to 6T. If you have older boys check out the other north face options in bigger sizes .
