Here is a handy-dandy chart for knowing when to watch the sales when nothing but a bargain will do. Many items are timed for anticipated needs (such as when kids go to college or a change of weather), tax season, summer wedding traffic, or when big-ticket buying is slow (such as right after Christmas). Combined with buying out-of season clothing, you can set yourself for great deals when harnessed with patience and planning. Besides sale ads, keep a keen eye out for mail-in or electronic rebate incentives.
