7 Things that Cost Less in the Fall

Did you know that most of the things you buy go through changes in price cycles? It’s true.  We have already discussed some of the best and worst things to buy during the month of September, but did you know that there are quite a few things that simply cost less during the fall season?  Yep. Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about what those things are.

Here are 7 things that cost less in the fall that you should head out and shop for now to save:

  1. New cars.  Weird, but true.  New cars do cost less in the fall.  Why? Well, this is because new models are getting ready to arrive at dealerships and they need to make room!
  2. Appliances.  Appliances are going to cost less right now because new appliance models tend to hit the stores near the end of October to the early part of November.
  3. Bicycles.  New models have recently come out and stores are looking to get rid of their stock.  You will find bikes for as much as 30% off buying last year’s model.
  4. Houses.  I have the Zillow App on my phone because of my recent house search and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that I get at least 10 notifications each day about prices dropping on homes.  That’s because Summer is the hot season for home buying and realtors recognize that. To keep the market moving, they will start dropping prices in the fall.
  5. Lawnmowers.  The nice weather is quickly on its way out, and retailers know that people do not want to focus on yard work when it’s rainy and/or cold outside.  That’s why now is the best time to buy a new lawn mower because retailers do not want to store them throughout the winter.
  6. BBQs and Outdoor Grills.  Again, Summer is over. Retailers want to clear out summertime stock, not store it for the months ahead.
  7. Cookware.  The holidays are just around the corner and for many that means it’s time to get your bake on, which also means that all of those pre-holiday sales will start to happen and we can score seriously deep discounts on cookware.
