Summer is on it’s last leg which means school is around the corner. This is by far, the best time to buy school supplies rather than waiting until the bell rings. If you are lucky enough to have a school list, shop now at Staples and supermarkets. They have the best bargains. They take coupons too! If you don’t have a list yet, buy basic school needs and you won’t go wrong.

The prices will be dropping on air conditioners and lawn mowers because, even though there are plenty of sunny days ahead, lawns don’t grow as fast and temperatures will be going down.

If you like camping and the outdoors, plan now for your Labor Day weekend. You’ll get the best prices on tents and outdoor gear as the stores stock up for Winter activities.

Dreaming of a new car? This could be the month you’ll make your dream a reality. Car dealers want to weed out their inventory so they’ll  have plenty of room for the 2020 models.

Longing for a last minute vacation? It’s a slow month for hotels so you can save on a getaway.

August is also the time to check you nightwear inventory. Pajamas and other sleepwear will be on sale.

If you can can pull the wool over your kids’ eyes with last year’s model sneakers you’ll save a bundle!

Thanks to college kids going away to school, all types of storage containers, closet accessories, and bins will be on sale.

In the grocery store combine your coupons with back-to-school foods because these will all be on sale: American cheese, lunch meat, yogurt, chips, soda, snack cakes, cookies, bottled water, iced tea, and drink boxes.

Enjoy the end of Summer and save!
