Kawartha Lakes Mums November Shopping Tips

What deals can you find trending in November? Halloween costumes and candies are deeply discounted. Plus the Black Friday and Cyber Monday right before and after the American Thanksgiving, will bring big discounts. Traditional deal patterns show there are often a number of other items you might anticipate being on sale this month.Here are a few sales you'll want to watch for this month.Be sure to save this page, as we will be updating it throughout November.

Savings Strategy- Stack Deals

If you have a coupon for a toy and find a deal at two different stores, you'll want to take advantage of your favourite loyalty program to get further savings. Then on top of this, you may be able to get a rebate from programs like Check Out 51. Check out 51 Rebates change every Wednesday night.See Current Checkout 51 Rebate Offers

Savings Strategy - Shop Discounts and Loss Leaders

Loss leaders are items often sold at cost or sometimes even less than cost to bring people to a website or into a business. Usually loss leaders will be found on the front and back pages of flyers. Make your shopping list based on those two pages.

Zulilly is an example of an online discount store if you can't get out to shop. They offer limited time daily sales and daily deals on a wide variety of items. The widget below will automatically update with Zulilly Daily Deals- Take a peak!

Halloween Candy and Costumes

While we wouldn't try saving Halloween candy until next year, deeply discounted treats can be used for some of these Halloween Leftover Recipes. If you have a budding Thespian or a teacher on your gift list, a "Tickle Trunk" stocked with Costumes bought at slashed prices would be welcome.

Last year we found great deals at dollar stores on these items.

Food Deals

Frozen Turkeys

Foodland started their turkey bucks savings coupons October 31 Watch for other turkey savings,especially after the American Thanksgiving. All those turkeys that didn’t end up on someone’s table for Thanksgiving will be discounted as grocery stores try to unload excess inventory.

Shoppers Drugmart Branded Foods
Since Lobaws bought out Shoppers Drugmart, watch for amazing mark downs on Shoppers Drugmart branded foods, as they bring in President's Choice Products.

November Electronics Sales

Watch for computer and electronic deals the first two weeks of November, and especially on Black Friday. Last year the deals on on Apple products, were bigger at retailers like from retailers such as Amazon. No name television usually hit their lowest price on Black Friday morning as loss leaders. One great deal we've found is Dell Desk Top Computers starting at $89 at AtCostPC Be sure to sign up for emails and get extra savings.

Cookware Discounts

Did you know there are more cookware deals in November than in any other month? This surprised us too. Retailers mark down pots, pans and kitchen accessories just in time for the holiday cooking season. In particular, look for cookware sales on Black Friday or Cyber Monday -the Monday after the Thanksgiving weekend when online retailers mark down items.

Wedding Dress Deals

With a lower demand for wedding dresses in November and December, brides-to-be can find good deals during these months Since people are busy planning holidays, you'll also find deals on wedding supplies.

Holiday Card Deals

There are often Pre-season Holiday Card deals available in November for early birds. Watch this space for updates.
Tiny Prints
Tiny prints allows you to create personalized cards, and more. They'll even create a free website where you can share more photos and will mail out the cards for you for postage cost plus 36 cents - if you're mailing 10 cards, that's cheaper than taking the bus to the post office and back!

House Deals

Traditionally, it becomes more of a buyers' market on houses in November and December, as fewer buyers think about moving at Christmas. Remember, just because you buy a home in late fall, doesn't mean you need to move in then. Looking for more tips on home buying and mortgages? See posts by Dustin James.

Television Savings

Retailers often use televisions as Black Friday loss leading door-buster deals. If you're wanting to get in on a door buster, you may need to be prepared to arrive in the wee hours, or even stay overnight. -Apparently, prices on off-brand HDTVs tend to reach record lows on Black Friday, and there are lots of deals on name-brand 32-inch to 47-inch HDTVs, according to dealnews.com. But for the best prices on name-brand big-screen TVs (55 inches and up) and home-entertainment systems, hold off until January or February for pre-Super Bowl sales.

Wait to Buy These Items

Holiday decorations.
After December 25, you'll see discounts up to 50%,
Toys.
Your lowest price of the year is usually about two weeks before Christmas, but get raised again close to Christmas.
Video Games
Demand drops in January. so sales of about 30% off will start popping up in the New Year.
Winter clothes.
If you can wait, winter apparel goes on sale up to 80% off about the second or third week of January.
Bath Gift Sets
Bath Gift sets with soaps, bubble bath etc, are typically the biggest savings deals at Boxing Day Sales in my experience.
