Hello thrifty people. It’s September and with it comes all sorts of costs – school gear and supplies, weatherization tools, and warmer clothing is starting to appear. Still, even with costs going up in some areas you can still save in others.
Rentals – Rentals really won’t always be cheaper, but you may have more choices than you did in the summer. Plenty of people move in the summer so that the kids can be settled before school starts. Avoid the rush by letting it pass you by. You may actually end up with a bonus savings because some apartment complexes know that less people move in the fall so they offer discounts on move-in costs.
Houses to buy – summer sellers who are getting frustrated about another winter coming on may make deals now that they would not have before.
School supply clearance – Expect gear like crayons, paper, pens, and backpacks to go on sale near the end of September including overstocked snacks and lunch supplies that grocery stores overestimate a need for.
Consumer Reports notes that September is the perfect time to pick up the following discounted items…
- Bikes
- Computers
- Gas grills
- Shrubs, trees, perennials
- Small consumer electronics
Do you have any September secret deals to share?
