Signs of the looming holiday season are everywhere: falling temperatures, red cups at Starbucks, and the appearance of early Black Friday “deals.” But while instinct tells us that the holiday shopping season is high time to score a discount, it’s not necessarily the best time of year to buy everything. In fact, November is decidedly not the time to pick up certain categories of goods, from seasonal clothing to appliances.
These are thing things you should hold off on purchasing if you are worried about getting the most bang for your buck, and when you should actually buy them. (At the very least, you can put them on your wishlist and hope someone else buys them for you.)
