January
With the frenzy of the holidays behind us this month, it’s the perfect time to stock up on holiday decorations for your new place. Snag festive lights, artificial Christmas trees, menorahs and an assortment of other holiday items for 50 to 75% off. If all the snow is already making you wish it was summertime, now is the perfect time to gear up for the hot weather. Grills and air conditioning systems are at rock-bottom prices in January, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
February
It’s still snowing in most of the country, which means a lot of home improvement projects are put on hold. To get you into their stores during the frigid month of February, retailers considerably mark down power tools. Pick up super cheap power drills, cordless saws, nailers and more this month, so you’ll be ready to tackle any home remodeling project your new digs may need.
March
The thaw is beginning and spring is right around the corner, making this the perfect time to plan a little getaway. Head to the mall or shop online for some phenomenal discounts on quality luggage sets for your vacay plans. Moving to the coast? Boat trade shows have just ended this month, which translates to massive savings on older model boats. Hitch a brand spanking new water ride to your terrestrial one for all the fishing you plan on doing once the weather agrees with your adventurous spirit.
April
Four months into the year is the ideal time to take yourself on a shopping spree. No, not for summer wear, but for some thermal winter gear to keep you warm when winter rolls around again. Stores are stocking up on swimsuits, shorts and flip flops, so snatch up parkas, snow pants and boots for up to 70% off this month.
May
Your patio is officially free of snow! Fix it up for all the entertaining you plan on doing this summer. Visit a furniture store and browse through incredibly low-cost patio furniture. Outside tables, protective umbrellas, durable chairs and pool chaises are all up for grabs at discount prices. Go ahead and throw a big pool party – you already have an awesome grill that you picked up in January, and party stores are reducing prices on party supplies in time for graduation.
June
If you missed the deals on power tools back in January, no biggie. June is Father’s Day month, so hit up the local hardware store to get sale-priced power tools. June is also the height of the wedding season, and that means dishes and house wares are available for much less than any other time of the year.
July
Want to update your appliances to more eco-friendly models? Jump into the savings that July offers. Big ticket appliances like refrigerators and washer/dryer combos are all discounted, thanks to the newer models that retailers are snatching up after the end of appliance trade show season.
August
Back to school season is here! Aside from all the clothes and school supplies that are on sale this month, you can also pick up an shiny new desktop, laptop or notebook for an insanely low price. By now, you probably have a decent amount of stuff you scored for cheap earlier in the year, and you’re jonesin’ for a great way to store everything. Splurge on cut-rate storage containers in August without breaking the bank.
September
Summer is just about wrapping up, but that doesn’t stop your lawn from growing. Trade in your old lawnmower for a new in September. If you’re a wino, keep your eyes peeled for bargain-priced wines this month.
October
Temperatures are dipping, but so are the prices of indoor and outdoor plants. For the avid gardener, October is the perfect month to stock up on trees, shrubs and decorative flowers for your home. If you are not in the South, protect your discounted plants from the upcoming winter season by storing them in a cellar or basement.
November
Halloween is done, but there’s still oodles of candy leftover with sweat deals attached. Melt down all that cheap Halloween chocolate with a new fondue set – all cookware is on sale in November because of the holiday season around the bend.
December
Kickoff the holiday season with an amazing bargain on TVs, so you can watch your favorite football team work their way to the playoffs in high definition. HDTVs are priced lower this month, with the added bonus of discounted home theater systems to enhance your TV viewing experience. Merry Christmas to you!
