While the discounted halloween candy won’t arrive until early November, this month still offers plenty of delicious deals. Vipin Porwal, consumer savings expert and founder of cashback browser extension Smarty, expects October to be a great time to save on clothing (especially denim), men’s shoes and women’s fashion.
Other major categories that will be on sale or clearance this month are yard and garden tools as retailers seek to clear their inventory. As retailers shift from lawn and patio gear to holiday-themed products and decorations, shoppers can expect deals on fire pits, outdoor heaters, gardening tools and other lawn tools to help with fall clean up. Historically, October has also been a good month to find discounts on summer sports,outdoor gear and apparel.
Shoppers are usually advised to hold off until Black Friday to shop high-demand tech, but there were some deals on new and in-demand tech during the October Prime Day event. Porwal advised that streaming TV and movie services may start their holiday discounts in October, and said to keep an eye out for bundling deals.
If you did not find the tech deal you are looking for with the mid-month sales, Porwal said there will be a larger selection of deep discounts to snag in November.
