This document provides a seasonal guide for when certain product categories will be on sale throughout the year. It lists the months and the types of products that typically have sales and price reductions in each month. These include food, clothing, health products, school supplies, holiday items, and more. The guide is meant to help consumers know when to wait for better prices on various items that tend to cycle in and out of season.

1. Beginner Tips:
Seasonal Sale
Cycles

2.  In general, most products, just like fruits
and vegetables, have “in seasons”. Periods of
time you’ll find lower prices and better and
more abundant sales. I’ve put together the
following list as a guideline for the seasonal
sale cycles. Of course, there are always
exceptions to the rule but these cycles are
helpful in knowing when to wait and when to
buy certain products.
