What to Buy and What to Skip in June

Summer’s here, so it’s time to work on your tan – and on finding big bargains! No major shopping holidays in June, but you can still find fantastic deals on a bunch of products. Here’s what to buy and what to skip in June.

Buy: Swimwear

Hit the beach or pool in style! Retailers offer steep discounts on swimwear as summer gets underway, so you can pick up a sweet deal on the swimsuit of your choice.

Skip: Grills

Grills are in hot demand this month, and retailing at full price. If you’re looking to upgrade your cooker, wait until mid- or late summer for a better deal. As with most timely products, the longer into the season you wait, the more you’ll save.

Buy: Dinner for Dad

It’s Dad’s time! Restaurants offer great deals on meals to lure prospective diners inside on Father’s Day. Some of these discounts might only be available through gift card purchases, so be sure to check it out in advance.

Skip: Mattresses

If you need new mattresses, tough luck. Memorial Day sale events are usually the best time for discounts on mattresses. If you’ve missed out, you’ll want to wait until Labor Day for your next chance to score a deal.

Buy: Workout wear and gear

Check out your favorite brands for steep discounts on workout wear and gear throughout June. Getting fit is always easier – OK… a little more fun – when you’re outfitted in style and you have the right gear.

Skip: Brand-name clothing

Don’t go all out on designer clothing this month, unless you love paying full price. In just a month from now, you can save hundreds of dollars on brand-name clothing, handbags and shoes at most major department stores.

Buy: Tools and paint

The best deals on tools and paint won’t hit the stores until November, but you can still pick up a sweet bargain on these home-improvement essentials in June. Discounts are generally offered around Father’s Day at major home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot.
