What to Buy in November

The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting chillier, but that doesn’t mean the sales stop!

This is one of the best times of the year to save on many things, and I am so excited to get started!

Here are some things you can save money on in November! Check out the monthly savings guide on what to buy in November. 

 

What to Buy in November

Cookware – This is the perfect time to update your scratched and outdated cookware, including bakeware. With so much cooking and baking going on for the holidays, retailers slash prices on the items you need, from small kitchen gadgets to larger items like pots and pans and even small appliances. Start looking for the best deals as we head into Black Friday.

Christmas decorations – To kick off the Holiday season, most retailers started putting out holiday decorations a month ago. However, beginning in the first week of November, many of them, especially places like drugstores, offer 40-50% off this holiday merchandise to get you excited. If you hope to add new things to your decor, doing it now is usually the best time before Christmas. Be aware, though, that the best prices are after Christmas.

Candy – If you haven’t already, make sure to stock up on the leftover Halloween candy that most retailers have during the first week of the month. You will sometimes see sales of up to 90% off, especially if the item is specifically Halloween-themed.

Small electronics – Small laptops typically go on sale for Black Friday, so if you have your eye on a mini-laptop or mini-tablet, look for great deals on these electronics starting on Black Friday.

Anything wedding-related– The big season for weddings has fallen off, but if you are planning a winter wedding or even one this coming spring, make sure you look for hot deals on wedding dresses, decor, and so on. This is the slow season, and bridal shops have a surplus from the summer; they are slashing prices. This is also a great time to look at prom dresses at these stores if you have a Senior. Many bridesmaid dresses work wonderfully as prom gowns.

 

Groceries to buy in November

Turkeys– This is a given, but getting the best price on one can be a bit tricky, even so. Watch out for sales on turkeys that offer one free for spending a certain amount, and get one when you buy your regular groceries.

Also, compare prices as they can be vastly different, and as stores compete aggressively for your business.

Produce to buy– Pears, cranberries, kiwi, endive, sweet potatoes, yams, and squash

Watch for sales, such as those around Veterans’ Day, which often occur during the first and second weeks of the month.
