to buy a new washer and dryer, dishwasher, or refrigerator.
Televisions and digital cameras:
HDTVs go on sale in October to make room for holiday deals. You can get
great deals on a new television and any cables you need as well. This
is also the best time to shop for a new digital camera for capturing
photos of your family during the holidays.
Kitchen cookware and utensils:
Retailers expect that people will start buying kitchen items to prepare
for holiday cooking. You’ll find great deals on pots and pans, tabletop
accessories, and kitchen utensils throughout October.
Cars:
Car dealerships are making a final push to get rid of last year’s
models, and you can get a bargain on a new car if you do your research
and negotiate a price. Dealers want these cars off of their lots, and
they are more willing to make a deal in October.
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
There are lots of great deals for items with a cause throughout
October. Retailers support breast cancer research in October, and a
portion of every dollar you spend on these special sale items goes to a
noble cause.
