The Best Things to Buy in September

September marks the beginning of cooler weather and for some, holiday planning.  Keep your eyes open for these great deals if you’re an “earlier-than-December” shopper or if you just want to save your hard-earned dollars!

The Best Things to Buy in September

Cars
Older models are being cleared off dealer lots to make way for newer rides.  If you missed the Labor Day weekend car sales, that’s okay!  September 30th is one of the best four days of the year to get a great deal on a car as the quarter for sales ends.

Airfare
We know there’s almost an exact science to purchasing airfare; and that’s about eight weeks before any planned trip.  If you’re heading out of town for the holidays, September is a great month to purchase some of the best flight deals.

School Supplies
Now that school has started, grab those little extras from the store as they go on clearance.  Extra folders, notebooks, or other supplies can be stashed away for next year. 

Barbecue Grills/Picnic Items
Later this month, you’ll see prices on outdoor grills hit some of the lowest prices of the year.  If it’s time to upgrade for next summer or find a great holiday gift for the master griller in your life, this will be a perfect month for making that purchase. 

You’ll also see sales on certain grocery items, like potatoes, breakfast items, and chicken.  A perfect combination for a meal cooked outside on your discounted grill.

Lawnmowers/Outdoor Gear
Stores will be clearing summer inventory to welcome items fit for winter.  Items such as lawnmowers, tents, and camping gear will be lowered in price to make room.

Apple Products—iPhones

Every September an updated or new iPhone is released at the Apple keynote.  If you’re a discount-savvy iOS fan, you can get a steep price cut on older iPhones.
