Best Deals by Seasons

Stores and merchants offer certain best deal by seaons. Perhaps because there is more demand at some times of the year, or - perhaps because there is less demand and they want to move product. Consumer Reports has a chart with lists of the best time of year to shop for certain products.

I noticed one thing as soon as I looked at the chart; there are four months in the year when it is a good time to be shopping for a digital camera. (I wonder why that is? Do people lose and buy them in cycles several times a year? Dunno.)

Here's a quick summary of best deals by seasons in case you are willing to wait for the right month to get some big price item that you know you will buy sooner or later.

January

Bedding, Carpeting, CDs and DVDs, Computers, Cookware, Houses and Condos, LInens, Swimwear, Toys, Treadmills and ellipticals, TVs, and Winter clothing.

I really think this is not the same for all parts of the world. Not every place has the same climate and seasonal activities.

February

House and condos, Humidifers, Indoor furniture, Treadmills and ellipitcals

March

Digital cameras, Humidifiers, Small consumer electronics (MP3 players, DVD and Blu-ray players, etc.) TVs, Winter coats, Winter sports gear.

June

It would appear that Camcorders and electronic items hardly go out of season at all!
