October is here, which means it’s time to share the best sales and deals to watch for in October. If it seems as though this month’s list is a bit shorter than usual, that’s because many retailers already have their hands full preparing for next month’s Black Friday sales.
Those super steep discounts won’t crop up for another few weeks, but there are still a handful of great deals you can take advantage of this month. So without further ado, here are 6 things you can snag for a great price during October.
October Is The Best Month To Buy…
1. Jeans
As the back-to-school shopping season comes to an end, retailers will be looking to get rid of their leftover stock this month. You can find great discounts on denim jeans in particular — you may not have the biggest selection of sizes or styles to choose from, but if you’ve been needing a new pair of jeans, now is a great time to buy!
2. Winter Coats
It might not feel like it right now, but as the Starks say in Game of Thrones, “Winter is coming!” And October is the perfect time to stock up on winter coats and other cold-weather clothes. You’ll have tons of sizes and styles to choose from this month, and prices will be pretty good too. (Prices will drop again in the spring, but you’ll be picking through the leftovers if you wait that long!)
3. Patio Furniture
This month is a goldmine for deals on outdoor furniture. The outdoor season is wrapping up, so home improvement stores and other outdoor furniture retailers will be making room for holiday decorations and winter tools. If you’ve had your eye on a new patio set or a few new outdoor chairs, you’re likely to save quite a bit if you buy them this month!
4. Pizza & Tacos
October is a great month for fans of pizza and tacos (which includes just about everyone, I think.) National Taco Day is coming up on October 4th, so keep an eye out for free or discounted tacos that day at your favorite taco joint!
As far as pizza goes, you can celebrate all month long, because October is National Pizza Month! Look out for pizza-related deals and freebies in your area. Most deals like these are announced through social media, so be sure to look up your favorite pizza places on Facebook or Instagram!
5. Cars
Car sales don’t get much better than the ones you’ll find this month. The new models are just starting to roll out, so many dealers are still trying to clear out last year’s models. While Columbus Day sales tend to come with particularly good prices and incentives, waiting until the end of the month may help you catch a car salesperson eager to meet their quota before the end of the quarter!
6. Halloween Costumes
If you’re looking for a killer deal, the best time to buy Halloween costumes is actually after Halloween. But if you need a costume for a party this month, wait until about 2 weeks before the 31st. That’s when you’ll start seeing markdowns and discounts!
