Shop Smart – What To Buy Every Month

We know you like shopping, especially online, and from the US. We thought we would help you save your wallet and your hard-earned money. Not all goods are worth buying around the year. It’s just the opposite, Thanks to many holidays and marketing events it’s often worthwhile to wait for seasonal deals and various themed events.


Spring – Equip Your Household

In the spring, we recommend to look at discounts on clothing, sellers usually want to get rid of supplies so they offer interesting discounts. In addition to clothing, it pays to look after suitcases, especially if you are passionate travelers, vacuum cleaners, kitchen equipment, or digital cameras. We must not forget about equipment for winter sports such as skis, cross-country skis, or snowboards.

March

Discounts of all kinds – there are not many shopping holidays in March that would be linked to major discount events, anyway, there is one here – St. Patrick’s Day. During this holiday, some online stores discount different types of goods.

Sports equipment. the winter has ended and that means huge discounts to snowboarding, cross-country skiing, skiing and other equipment for all kinds of winter sports.

April

Suitcases and backpacks – there are still months left for the main holiday season, but the suitcases and backpacks are available at the best prices in April.

Sweets – although an Easter holiday date is floating, they are mostly celebrated during April. Not always the retailers are able to sell all supplies, so after Easter, you can expect decent discounts on sweets (especially chocolate).

Car maintenance equipment – after winter, you need to take care of your car properly. That is why many vendors reach discounts on detergents, oils and other necessary equipment to maintain your car during this period.

Jewelry – There are no Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day holidays (when jewelry is often gifted to your loved ones) during April, so dealers try to motivate their customers to buy through discounts. That’s why April is a good time to buy some jewelry in advance.

May

Star Wars merchandise – 4th May begins to be popular in the US, especially thanks to Star Wars (“May the Fourth Be With You”), Big retailers such as Amazon and Target make Star Wars merchandise cheaper by dozens of percent. You can get Christmas gifts in advance to please your friends – Star Wars fans. If you rather prefer a Late Night Show, read our two-part article on how to get the merchandise of the US late-night shows directly from the US.

Office equipment – If you work from home, it is appropriate to equip your office as part of your work productivity. Do so in May, when you can find interesting discounts on tables, chairs, shelves, etc.

Swimsuits – Summer is slowly approaching and swimwear is expanding. It may seem that the best prizes will be after the season, but May is a small exception in this. Stores such as Amazon offer a huge selection of swimwear at very attractive prices.

Mattresses – Mattresses are quite often cheaper in May, thanks to the Memorial Day. Due to the relatively high mattress prices, it pays off to wait for some nice discount.

Summer – Be Prepared For Your Holidays

In the summer, the calendar year is in its half, thanks to which some vendors “celebrate” and hold semi-annual sales outlets. It is worthwhile to watch big brands, for example, discounts in Victoria’s Secret, Brooks Brother, and other brand stores are highly anticipated. If you love nature and vacation at the sea, we recommend you to be prepared. There are discounts on lingerie, camping equipment, tools and more.

June

Lingerie – as we have already indicated in the introduction, June is a good month for tracking discounts on lingerie. Discounts in Victoria’s Secret will delight every woman.

Subscriptions to magazines and gym – On June 14, Father’s Day takes place. Not everyone celebrates it, but which father would not have enjoyed a small gift in the form of a subscription to a popular topic magazine such as sports, cars, travel or health? Thanks to the weather, it is worthwhile to see also gym subscriptions or other group training.

Tools – “The right man has to have a knife,” always said my grandfather, but the tools are not just knives. As a father-day gift, buy screwdrivers, keys, and other tools to repair, for example, a broken washing machine, drain, or a car.

July

Amazon products – in July, watch Amazon Prime Day. Amazon makes great deals for various product categories such as electronics. With our dedicated Amazon guide, you will also find out how to get Amazon international shipping.

Fashion – August, and September are great months for shopping for summer collections of clothing because vendors are preparing for winter collections. Often, for example, shirtsjeans, shorts and other pieces at a fraction of the price can be purchased.

Summer sports equipment – End of the summer season begins and prices for equipment for summer sports such as cycling, jogging, roller skating, golf, etc goes down.

Winter – The Best Opportunity For Shipping Maniacs?

Winter is probably the only exception to discounts on clothing. Yes, you can find discounts on clothes designed for a dashing autumn, but these discounts certainly do not go as much as discounts on summer clothes during the autumn. In winter, we recommend searching for toys, pending sales of electronics of all kinds or Christmas decorations.

December

Toys – sellers do not want to have huge toy stocks after Christmas, so toys prices usually go down during December.

Christmas decorations – Christmas decorations prices are going down logically after Christmas. So if you managed to break some ornaments, you have the perfect opportunity to add some to your collection to the next year.

Enjoy Free Shipping – in December there is a so-called Free shipping day involving large chain retailers and small vendors. Christmas presents will be delivered to you free of charge from many different shops.

January

Electronics – at the turn of the year, especially thanks to Christmas, there are huge sales of electronics, smartphones can be bought at great prices, TV’s, computers and laptops.

Laptops

Bedding – big retailers in the US, such as Kohl’s, Macy’s, and others, offer throughout the whole of January discounted rates for bed linen, bedding, and towels.

Gym subscriptions – Many people determine to reduce weight or improve physical fitness as a New Year’s resolve, so they look for gym subscriptions, which at this time are quite advantageous.

Winter clothing – sales of winter clothing begin normally in the middle of winter when stores prepare space for spring collections. After Christmas, people are hungry after the clothes, so we recommend hurrying with the purchase.

Furniture – new styles of furniture tend to be in stock mostly during February, so sales are in progress already in January.

February

Winter clothing and footwear – even in February, sales of winter clothing and footwear continue at the best sites. And although the offer is quite limited, you still can find a piece that fits your wardrobe.

Sweets and Valentine’s Day gifts – Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated on February 14th, after that date, you can find many discounts for various sweets, perfumes, and other Valentine’s Day gifts so you can prepare for the next year.
