When it comes to buying appliances, timing is everything. Knowing when to buy can save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. Here are a few tips for getting the best deal on appliances throughout the year.
January and February: This is one of the best times to buy large home appliances as retailers start offering discounts for end-of-season sales and big-box stores start rolling out their Black Friday deals early. Look for major savings on refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and dishwashers.
May through August: The summer months are ideal for finding great deals on small kitchen appliances like mixers, blenders and coffee makers as retailers make room for holiday inventory. This is also a great time to find discounts on air conditioners as they go out of season.
September through November: As new models start hitting shelves in September, retailers are eager to unload last year’s stock so they can make room in their warehouses and showrooms. Look for deep discounts on TVs, computers and other electronics during this time period – especially around Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving).
December: As expected, December is an excellent time to purchase gifts like laptops or tablets – but try not to wait until Christmas Eve if you want any hope of finding a good deal! Many stores offer special holiday sales throughout December that can save you big bucks if you shop early enough!
