Bicycles
Have you thought about Christmas? Are the kids in need of a new bike? If so, you could save yourself a bundle by purchasing bikes now and hiding them until Christmas! If you’re a price stalker, than you’ve probably noticed that the price of bicycles goes down in the fall, but then climbs way back up around Christmas time. Taking advantage now gives you a head start on your Christmas shopping, while keeping your spending in check.
Don’t have a child who needs a bike, think donation, there are a lot of needy kids who would be thrilled to receive a bike this Christmas.
Plants & Trees
It’s that time of year when garden centers, like Lowe’s, begin to drastically reduce their inventory. If you’ve been planning on doing some landscaping around the house, this is the time to do it. It’s not just that the weather is more bearable or that it’s the preferred time of year for planting, it’s that the prices are amazingly low. What would cost you a fortune in spring, costs a whole lot less in fall.
