OUTDOOR FURNITURE
The price of outdoor furniture will be at it’s lowest this month. As the temperatures drop so does the price of outdoor furniture. This is a great time to furnish your outdoor living spaces and save a ton of money while doing it.

AIRFARE
If you have some vacation days to use up before the end of the year, October is the time to do it. Domestic airfares bottom out in October due to summer travel slowing down. Last year at this time I was able to snag round trip tickets for only $237, any other time of the year they’re around $800.
Hotels and air travel tend to go hand in hand, so keep your eye out for hotel deals as well.

GARDEN EQUIPMENT
Expect to see some big discounts on lawn equipment this month. As the weather starts cooling off we no longer have use for lawn mowers, tractors, weed eaters and other garden equipment. Well retailers would rather stock items that you will be using, so they need to make room for those things, making for some great discounts on lawn equipment.
Outdoor cooking equipment will also be deeply discounted so keep your eye out.
JEANS
Retailers tend to bulk up their inventory for the back-to-school shopping rush. However, when October rolls around it’s time for them to get rid of any leftover inventory so you’ll see some really big discounts.
To save money on school clothes, we have always done the kids school clothes shopping in October. We get a lot more for our money by shopping all of the clearance sales.
AIR CONDITIONERS & FANS
The cooler weather is moving in and we’ll be spending more time nestled up by a fireplace than in front of a fan. That means that heating equipment prices will be rising, while cooling equipment, like air conditions and fans will be dropping. If you’ve been having issues with your current equipment now’s the time to replace it, next summer you’re wallet will be happy you did.
Also, the newer equipment is more efficient, which in turn saves you more money.

We love travelling in October; not only are flights cheaper but so are most hotel/rental too and we find that most places aren’t very crowded either.
Not being crowded is definitely a bonus.
Interesting, Robin. Some of these I had thought of (outdoor furniture and gardening tools), but I didn’t realize that airfare and clothes were less expensive in October. We just booked our flights for a trip in January. We love to get away to some place warm and sunny, preferably with a beach, right after the holiday hustle and when the winter blues are prone to set in. I found your blog on the GRAND Social and have shared on social media. Enjoy your day!
I’m so happy that you found us! And I’m glad that I was able to show you something new. Where are you flying off to in January?
Interesting. I don’t need most of the other things, but the clothes part is interesting, I’ll have to check if the same happens in Portugal or not.
Thank you for joining The Really Crafty Link Party this week.
Please let me know, I would be really interested!
Well…
Some of these I guessed, but I had no idea about the jeans! I’m going to tell my teens about this one!
Thanks for sharing at the Homestead Blog Hop!
