June is when most kids are out of school and you may be paying for summer camps or other child care programs so saving money is essential right now. Here are some June deals.
June is a good time to buy a refrigerator. Most stores have appliance sales in early summer but on fridges especially – and of that especially, floor models tend to go super cheap.
Summer camp: Paying for summer camp now, up front can save you loads of money over paying as you go each month. Plus some camps are still in early registration mode which also saves you money.
June is National Dairy Month, Fresh Fruit & Veggie Month, and Candy Month so many grocery stores run special sales on items in these categories.
Now is a good time to visit your local Farmers Markets too. Many kick off the summer season with extra produce and lots of reduced prices.
Consumer Reports notes that June is also a killer time of year to get discounts on…
- Computers
- Indoor furniture
- Small consumer electronics
- Summer sports gear
- Swimwear
