There’s still a little bit of summer left to enjoy, but fall is also in the air. It must be just about time for September! As the seasons change, there are lots of great deals to found. Let’s take a look at some things you might want to consider buying cheaply in the month of September.

Bicycles

New bicycles are typically released in September, and since retailers won’t want old models crowding their showrooms throughout the winter, they’ll mark them down drastically. Just make sure you heed FreeShipping.org’s advice:

Because bike manufacturers drastically change models every few years — to keep up with new technology — you’ll want to investigate to make sure you don’t end up with an out-of-date bike. Avoid bikes that are more than several seasons old as advances in component and carbon tech move swiftly, making what seems a great deal not so hot.

Appliances

As long as you’re not buying a fridge, September is one of the best months to buy big appliances for less. As new models start to come out, retailers will discount last year’s perfectly good leftovers to make room in their showrooms.

Lawn Mowers

Believe it or not, stores will start to make room for winter inventory starting as early as September. So they’ll want to clear out summer gear like lawnmowers. The selection you find many not be great, but what you find will certainly be deeply discounted.

Patio Furniture

It’s finally a great time to buy patio furniture! Wait until the first week after Labor Day to start seeing seriously low prices on patio furniture and other outdoor entertaining goodies.

Holiday Airfare

We’ve mentioned before that you should book your Thanksgiving travel ASAP in order to get the best deal possible The same goes for Christmastime travel. Book in September to take advantage of the lowest possible airfare.

School Supplies

If you didn’t take advantage of back-to-school sales before school started, then you can often find clearance supplies after the first few weeks of school. You may even find that prices are cheaper in September than they were before school started.
