I am not a huge fan of shopping but when I do I really like to get the most bang for my buck. Turns out almost everything has a better time to buy if you can wait so check out the list below and it you have been putting off their purchase wait no more. May is the month to buy household goods and entertaining essentials.

  • Cookware promotions are plentiful in May as retailers target college graduation and wedding season.
  • Party supply stores are geared up for summer when graduation parties, wedding events, pool parties, and casual weekend barbecues take towns by storm.
  • Although May is a good time to pick up grilling supplies, it's not the best time to buy a grill. The best time to buy this backyard staple is after July 4th, when retailers begin to look towards fall and start discounting grills.
  • If you have an old, saggy, or lumpy mattress, May is the best time to buy a new mattress. Take advantage of mattress deals this month as retailers try to clear inventory ahead of receiving new stock.
  • Spring Apparel. With spring on its way out and summer easing in, retailers are antsy to clear out spring apparel and display the new summer duds.
