What NOT to Buy in August

August is a great time to take advantage of some sizzling deals, but there are some purchases that you’ll want to hold off on until the fall. Take a look at the buys you’ll want to avoid in general in August.

Apple Devices

Most years, Apple likes to release new models of devices like iPhones and iPads in September and October. Whether you’re looking to get the latest gadget available or you want to save more money on an old generation, you’re better off waiting until the new releases likely hit stores in the fall.

Home Appliances

New models for appliances like refrigerators, ovens and stoves come out in September, so if you wait until then to buy last year’s models, you can save up to 25%.

Fall Clothing

Fall clothing, like long-sleeved sweaters, jeans and warm jackets will just be arriving into stores in August. That means that you’re likely to pay full price for this kind of apparel. Wait until October when the back-to-school rush has died down and you’ll start seeing discounts on new fall and winter clothing.

Televisions

Summer isn’t a great time to score a deal on TVs in general. You’ll want to wait until around Black Friday to see some truly great deals come back around.
