This is my favorite shopping season. I actually put aside money the rest of the year so that I’ll have extra to spend during the next few weeks. The reason? I know that last year’s clothes are marked down to their final clearance to make room for new fall fashions. I also know that loss leader school supplies are being offered now. And outdoor summer items—like patio furniture, plastic margarita stemware and barbecue tools—are now on sale for 60 percent off the regular price.

There’s a sales cycle for every month and every season. Members at Hotcouponworld.com have been tracking them for years. We know that January is the best time to stock up on cheap oatmeal; new skis are better bought in March; and October is one of the best months to buy a new car. Timing is everything: Knowing when to buy can yield incredible savings if you can hold off on your purchases and buy when the item is “in season.”
