Not sure how you plan to make the holidays happen this year, but you got to do what you have to do to keep the magic alive. So maybe you're "Slow Shopping" trying to buy stuff here and there just to get your list finished. That's a solid plan. But what should you buy and when? These are the items they say are the best to buy in November.
Apple Products: If you’ve been eyeing new tech, November is your month to buy. Not the biggest discounts on the main devices, but accessories are a great buy. Check Amazon, Target, or Walmart for some of the year’s best prices.
Clothes: Get ready to upgrade your wardrobe, but don't empty your wallet. Stores like Gap, Old Navy, and Lululemon roll out major sitewide sales, sometimes up to 50-percent off.
Gift Cards: Everyone loves a gift card…and November is when many go on sale! Costco, Amazon, and Best Buy often offer gift cards at up to 20% off face value. Even better? You can use those discounted cards to while shopping on Black Friday (if you even still do this).
Headphones and Speakers: November brings massive discounts on headphones and Bluetooth speakers. Not that I need another of any of these items, but someone on your list might. If you're looking, check out Bose, Beats, and JBL for the best deals.
Laptops: It’s laptop season! So if it's for school, work, or just an upgrade, this is the time of year to buy.
Small Kitchen Appliances: Coffee makers, air fryers, and mixers. All the stuff you can see in the main walkways at Walmart. So why is this the time to buy? Get these before the new models drop, so expect 20 to 50% off!!
Smart Home Devices: If your house isn't a "Smart Home" now is the time to buy and get started. Smart speakers, thermostats, and video doorbells from Amazon and Google often hit 40 to 70% off!
Televisions: No need to wait for Super Bowl season; November’s TV deals are unbeatable. Just watch out for the cheaper TVs made specifically for sale season.
Toys: Get ahead of Santa’s list! Target and Walmart drop some of their best toy deals early in November, before Black Friday chaos hits. Sometimes you can save up to 50% off the gifts on your kids list.
Vacuums: November brings great prices on robot and cordless vacuums from Dyson, Shark, and Roomba. Get ready for the mess before it even happens.
Not sure what's on your list or how much you plan to spend. But saving a few $$$ can help in the end. Happy hunting!!
