Cooler temperatures bring falling leaves — and falling prices on these goods. Here are ten ways you can rake up the savings in autumn.
1.) SEPTEMBER: Holiday airfare
Keep in mind that Wednesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, according to Rick Seaney, chief executive of FareCompare.com. (An exception to the rule: the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the busiest travel day of the year.) Sunday is generally the most costly.
2.) SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER:
Health insuranceIf you don’t update your insurance preferences during open-enrollment season, you risk locking in your previous year’s insurance choices, which could cost you money if your family’s situation has changed at all. See Get the Best Deal on Health Insurance to learn more.
3.) SEPTEMBER: New Cars
Bargains will vary by car model and dealer, but it’s not uncommon to haggle your way down to the invoice price, or a few hundred dollars over invoice.
4.) SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER: Landscaping plants
5.) SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER: Appliances
New models of big appliances roll into showrooms in September and October, making autumn a great time to get a deal as stores clear out the old to make room for the new.
6.) OCTOBER: Grills
Prices on grills heat up in the summer. But as the weather cools down, so does demand, making fall a good time to buy, according to Luke Knowles, founder of FreeShipping.org.
Got a sweet tooth? Mark your calendar for November 1 to stock up on Halloween candy leftovers. You can snag bags of sweets and boxes of chocolate bars for 50% to 75% off.
8.) NOVEMBER/DECEMBER: Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
9.) NOVEMBER:
Baking ingredientsGrocers offer up deals that can’t be beat just in time for your holiday baking.
10.) ALL FALL LONG: Travel
September through the weekend before Thanksgiving, look for fall shoulder-season travel bargains.
