October has arrived bringing with it lots of sales due to Columbus Day and Halloween! It’s a good time to purchase Summer’s leftover garden and backyard items that you can save for next year. Don’t forget grills, air conditioners, camping equipment, and tools that stores are clearing out to make room for Winter stock.

Large appliances will boast sale prices to help you get ready for the holiday season, so if one of yours is on the way out, now is a great time to buy.

Thinking of taking a trip? Look for bargains at family-friendly locations. The kids are in school so these areas are giving special deals because they are close to empty. If flying, book on a Saturday or Sunday. You may save 5%.

October is the biggest month to save on denim! School shopping has left an overflow of inventory which means sales and savings for you!

If you can wait until the last week before Halloween, you will get a big discount on costumes. However, the selection may not be as good!

In the grocery store, combine your coupons with popcorn, pizza, and seafood. These are the main items that will be featured in sales. Try to find stores that are offering specials on Halloween candy. Many will allow you to return any unopened packages after the 31st if you have your receipt. In the past, some dentists were making offers too for the collection of unopened candy. Call yours to see if he participates.
