There’s no reason to pay full price on almost everything. There are numerous ways to save: seasonal, holiday, and clearance sales. Coupons, codes, and more. Never pay full price for these 10 household items.
10. Winter Clothing
Never buy winter clothing right before or during the season. Jackets, sweaters, winter boots, and other clothing made for cold weather always go on sale at the end of winter. Stores must clear merchandise to make room for new spring clothing. At winter’s end, you’ll likely have a better sense of what needs to be replaced in your cold-weather wardrobe.
9. Patio Furniture
Plan if you want to save on patio furniture. Never buy patio furniture until the end of summer. Avoid the overhyped Memorial Day sales because these will never be as good as the end-of-season sales. You can start looking for deals as early as August, and sales usually continue through Labor Day.
8. Electronics
Black Friday keeps getting bigger because it’s one of the best times to save a lot of money on electronics. The other big sales days are Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Amazon Prime Day. These are your best opportunities to purchase electronics at significant savings. You’ll also find electric-powered kitchen items, such as air fryers, on sale.
7. Seasonal Decor
The end of any season (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter) is the best time to buy decor and save money for the next year. However, Black Friday is often filled with sales on Christmas decor. Now that Black Friday sometimes runs throughout November, you can find deals and won’t have to wait to get stocked up for the coming season.
6. Amazon Devices
If you’re in the market for Amazon devices such as a Kindle, Alexa, or Fire tablet, there are two times per year you can purchase these and not pay full price. Either on Prime Day or Black Friday. It’s worth waiting for as these items can be discounted as much as 50% or more during these sales.
5. Soda
Chain grocery stores are often the best places to find soda on sale, although some major stores have big markups. You can also find sales at large gas stations with mini-marts. Convenience stores are often the worst place to find deals, but they occasionally have sales also. Another option is to seek out coupons online that apply to any store.
4. Mattresses
Mattresses are one of the most overpriced items and one of the cheapest to manufacture at a cost between $75-$150. You’ll always find mattresses on sale on one of the big holidays, such as Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Black Friday. A floor-model mattress will often yield an even bigger discount.
3. Pet Toys
Here’s a trick to save big money on pet toys: Look for Christmas-themed merchandise after the holiday season. A dog doesn’t care if it’s ripping up a rabbit or a Santa. Pet stores are clearing these items out and will drop the prices significantly. Check out places like T.J. Maxx that have a big selection for less.

2. Printed Books
There’s no reason to pay full price for new printed books. You can borrow them for free at a library or purchase a used copy in good or like-new condition at a bookstore, thrift store, or on Amazon. But if you absolutely have to buy brand-new books, check out coupons like those at Barnes & Noble.

1. Kids’ Clothing
Kids grow out of new clothes quickly, sometimes in a few months. It’s wasted money to pay full price. Look for seasonal and holiday sales. Plus, there are lots of coupons that can save you money. Check out Carter’s, which seems to have coupons for kids’ clothing constantly. You can also find inexpensive used clothing at thrift stores.
