We all like to get the best bang for our bucks!

Many of you say tou get the best deals with extensive research or from insider information (I feel like this is a dad thing... I know a lot of dads who do this), but retail actually revolves around sales cycles. There is actually philosophy behind when an item is at it's peak price, to when it’s going to be deeply discounted.

Here is the break down the best time to buy stuff every month.

January
Clothing — especially winter clothes and coats
Carpeting
Indoor furniture
Linens — white sales are a tradition in January
Men’s suits
Fitness equipment — these are placed on sale in time for New Year’s resolutions

February
TVs
Home theatres
Humidifiers — it’s the height of winter and most people invested in a humidifier before the season began

March
Boxed chocolate — leftovers from Valentine’s Day
Luggage

April
Travel — especially cruises
Sneakers

May
Appliances — especially refrigerators, since this is when new models are released
Office furniture
Mattresses
Gardening tools

June
Tools
Flatware and dishes
Gym memberships — since people are more apt to workout outside in the summer, gyms are eager to lure people back inside

July
Home decor and furniture

August
Kid’s clothing — in preparation for back-to-school shopping
Summer clothes
School supplies
Swimsuits

September
Bikes
Lawn mowers
Patio furniture
Big appliances — new models are being released, so now is the time to snatch up an older one for less; it could also be a good chance to score a deal on an air conditioner

October
Clothing and school supplies — retailers are looking to blow out their back-to-school merchandise, and as an added bonus, now everyone knows what’s cool for school and you can stock up
Gas BBQs
Winter clothing — it’s not at its cheapest, but it will get pricier in November

November
Halloween costumes, candy and decorations
Electronics — it’s best to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

December
Toys
Christmas decorations, trees, card
