5 Things Frugal People Buy in September - knowing what to buy and when to buy can save you a whole lotta' moola.

September marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall, with this change of season comes some really exciting deals. One of our families favorites, and we’ve been taking advantage of it for years, is picking corn and then “putting it up” for winter. There’s just something about the flavor that you can’t get from the store.

Check out these 5 Frugal Favorites that we stock up on every September. 

Corn on the Cob

The price of corn on the cob will be at it’s lowest price this month. Grab a few for your Labor Day BBQ or if you have room in your freezer, grab a couple of bushels and freeze the summers harvest. Buying corn, in bulk, and freezing is a great way to save money and enjoy the delicious flavor over the winter.

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.

Lunch Box Items

It’s school time! Back to School means lots of sales, especially in the food department, when making your grocery list keep this in mind. This is a great time to be stocking up on shelf stable foods like, peanut butter, fruit snacks, granola bars, pudding cups.
