Just like everything else in life, there is best time for everything, you just have to know when to do it or in this case when to buy. There is a best time to buy product(s) and According to Consumer Report, you can save money if you buy some products at a particular time or month of the year. The best times to buy product(s) differ from month to month and product to product. Some items are better at the beginning of the season where retailers have sales and promotions while in other cases the best time to buy products is at the end of the season when retailers are trying to eliminate inventory. For example the best time to buy Bikes, Gas Grills, Lawn mowers is September because the summer is almost over, which means people will do less biking, grilling and lawn mowing. So retailers have to eliminate these items before it is to late. if they do not eliminate it, they will have to hold on to that inventory for four to six months and they are not in the business of storing products, they want to sell it as soon as possible. that is why they markdown products 20 to 50 percent at that time. If you buy for example Bikes, Gas Grills or Lawn mowers at 20 to 50 percent off then you save money.
