November is traditionally the best month to find big discounts on many products. Consumer Reports found deals to help kick-start your holiday shopping season and save you some money.
If you’re shocked by prices on nearly everything recently, you’re not alone. But with the early holiday shopping season already underway, there’s some good news: November is traditionally the best month to find big discounts on many products. Consumer Reports found deals on some of its top-tested items to help kick-start your holiday shopping season and save you some money.
If you like discounts, then your favorite month of the year should be November. From TVs to vacuum cleaners to coffee makers, there are deals across the board this month, just in time for the holiday shopping.
Consumer Reports tracks the prices of many of the products it tests all year long, so it knows exactly when they go on deep discount. Here are some to look out for in this month’s Best Time to Buy.
Most tech products are going to be at their deepest discounts for Thanksgiving, but if you’re looking for a TV, wait until Black Friday, when you’ll see the biggest deals. And keep in mind that sale prices will be fluctuating all month long, so if you see a good deal, grab it.
