Consumer Reports just updated their sales calender showing when is the best time to buy about 55 items like cars, clothes, furniture, and more. February includes houses and condos, humidifiers, indoor furniture, treadmills and elliptical machines.
Consumer Reports also shares these tips, which don’t fit so well into the monthly lists.
“Airline tickets tend to be least expensive to buy on Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. Worst days to fare shop are Saturday and Sunday.
“CDs and DVDs generally come out on Tuesdays and might be on sale for the first one to three weeks.
“Jewelry sales are common, except around Valentine’s Day and the December holidays. So plan to buy early or hope that your beloved will settle for an IOU.”
