July Sales Cycle
There are cycles in the weather, economy, politics and general fabrics of life, but the cycle that I am focused on is the sales cycles that seem to be fairly predictable and consistent. However, caution is best served here because overspending can easily occur in the name of saving money.
Since knowledge is power, here are a few tricks and skills to help you make an informed decision on your cycles. This month we will focus on the September Sales Cycles and give a monthly tip/trick in order to make the most of your budget.
September has Labor Day and the start of School.
Here are some of the things I look for in July:
Back to School Supplies (pencils, pens, notebooks, notebook paper, crayons, folders, markers, colored pencils, notecards, etc.)
Backpacks
Insect Repellent
Sunscreen
BBQ Items (hot dogs, chips, soda, hamburgers, condiments, charcoal, salad dressings, bbq sauce)
Technology- Ipads, Computers, Iphones, DVD Players, etc.
In addition to shopping the sales, it is also good to know what fruits and vegetables are in season because they taste the best and are sold at their lowest price of the year.
Seasonal Fruit
Blueberries
Peaches
Nectarines
Watermelon
Plums
Pears
Grapes
Valencia Oranges
Seasonal Vegetables
Corn
Cucumbers
Beans
Artichokes
Garlic
Green Beans
Eggplants
Potatoes
Red Onions
Peppers
Squash
Tomatoes
Year Round Tips and Tricks
Tip- Exercise patience. If you do not need an item immediately, then wait for a sale.
For Example: If you want a particular dress, pants or shirt, window shop and then wait for a sale. I can usually save between 15- 50% off the regular price.
