Shop possible hot sales on Columbus Day this Monday, October 9th.
Columbus Day often means many retailers will be hosting sales of their own. While we won’t have the hottest deals rounded up until closer to the date, we suggest keeping this date bookmarked on your calendar if you have some big-ticket items you’d like to snag soon. That said…you could also just wait for Prime Day round 2. 😉
October is one of the best times to buy a plane ticket for your next trip.
Airlines tend to drop their prices in order to increase sales now that the summer vacation months are over and it may be your last month before holiday travel plants begin to kick off. Buy your airfare in October or plan a local trip with hotel discounts if you want to take advantage of off-peak rates and less crowded attractions.

Save big on grills in October if you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy this high-ticket item.
Grillmasters everywhere will be taking their kitchen skills inside as the weather cools off which means prices on grills are going to dip. If you’ve been looking to grab a new grill for your backyard oasis now’s the time. Plus, it would make a GREAT gift come time for all the holidays too. We recommend also keeping your eyes peeled on Columbus Day (October 9th) for possible sales.
Hip Tip: Our team LOVES this affordable Blackstone Grill and it’s something every owner has been raving about since they bought theirs.
Surprisingly, Halloween clearance is also a hot item to buy before the actual holiday.
It’s true, holidays at retailers come earlier and earlier every year which means they’re trying to clear their shelves earlier and earlier to make room for the next holiday. Last year, there were plenty of early Halloween clearance deals towards the second half of October. Some of our favorites were the ceramic Halloween tree for under $30, 40% OFF Target Halloween treat kits (yes, seriously!), and LEGO Halloween idea books for just $7.70. 😱
