The Best Days to Buy: How to Save Money Online

There are major sale days ideal for shopping throughout the year. Some of the biggest ones take place from January through to September and can help shoppers grab some bargains on high-quality products. 

Starting in January, there are usually January sales, which are a great time to grab some excellent deals when it comes to winter clothes or even fitness equipment, as people try to kick off with some New Year’s Resolutions. In the run-up to Valentine’s Day, items like jewelry, perfume, and chocolate typically go on sale. It’s around this time that Presidents’ Day lands, which is a great time to get deals on furniture or home appliances. 

April is a good time to get gifts for Easter and, following that, Mother’s Day in May, both of which see flowers, jewelry, and smaller items on sale. Memorial Day and its subsequent sales follows hot on its heels, and also offers a wealth of discounts across everything from clothes to flowers and jewelry. Father’s Day in June is a good time to focus on electronics or technological items, while Independence Day is good for home goods or outdoor items. 

• There’s also an Amazon Prime Day in July, where various gadgets and special deals go up for anyone who is a member.
• At the end of the summer, usually around August or the start of September, Back-to-School sales typically begin.
• This is the best time to stock up on important school items and necessities for children heading back to school. And to round it off, there’s Labor Day to officially close out summer.

Shopping events for the rest of the year

Heading into the final quarter of the year also means getting your hands on some great deals, too. There are many other major deals and discount days coming up in the run-up to Christmas and the end of the year. 

One of these is the well-known Black Friday sales. It occurs in the run-up to Christmas, taking place right after Thanksgiving. Originating as a day to get shoppers to enter physical stores, over the years it has transitioned to the online retail platform as well. Additionally, there’s Cyber Monday which once was the online counterpart to Black Friday. These days, both are linked by the weekend in between offering consumers a whopping four days of sales, right before Christmas. Another Amazon Prime Day lands at the beginning of October, offering discounts for two days across Amazon gadgets, smart devices, shoes, clothes, digital films, and much more. It’s a great time to look at some of the necessities and get them for cheaper. 

• Finally, there’s also Singles’ Day, which is a major day for grabbing bargains.
• The day originated in China where it’s still one of the biggest sale days of the year.
• It takes place on 11th November though sales can begin at the tail end of October as well. This day is a great time to grab gifts for everyone.
• This is because most stores tend to offer promo codes and coupons for Singles’ Day across their inventory.
• Some codes are automatically applied to any orders made on this day, while some need to be input manually at the checkout. However, they’re applied, these offers and promotions really help to provide customers with access to quality goods at a lower price.

Reaching the end of the year

With all these sales throughout the year, it’s easy to grab a bargain on a much-needed item at multiple points throughout the year. It’s always worth planning ahead and placing items in wish lists to see whether there are discounts that can be claimed or applied when one of these sale events goes live. At the end of the year, there’s also many different shopping opportunities as well. Boxing Day sales directly after Christmas typically offer some of the larger discounts and, for the savvy shopper, mark a great time to get ahead of the game, grabbing gifts with a discount ready for the year ahead. As the New Year rolls up, it’s then possible to make the most of the January sales, getting deals on winter clothing and Christmas decor ready for next year. And with the New Year underway, it’s simply time to make use of all the sale days once more.
