You can save hundreds of dollars just by timing your appliance purchase around when retailers actually discount them. Here's the yearly calendar.
Holiday Weekends
Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Black Friday all bring the deepest markdowns of the year.
Fix: Save any non-urgent purchases for one of these sales weekends.
Model Changeover
New model years typically arrive in fall, which pushes retailers to clear out the previous year's stock at a discount.
Fix: Shop in September or October to catch last year's models at a lower price.
Month-End
Sales quotas push retailers toward better deals as the month winds down.
Fix: Ask specifically about closeouts and floor models toward the end of the month.
