There are certain sales, occurring each month, which take place year after year. Making time to plan for these purchases can be a real money saver. That being said, this is what to consider buying in May.
Resale Store Merchandise
Many people use the approach of spring as an opportunity to clear their work and living spaces of clutter and items they no longer have use for. May is the perfect month to start spring cleaning, which makes it an excellent month to visit local thrift stores.
Many resale stores advertise their spring cleaning sales. So, keep an eye out and start shopping early in the month to find the best deals before everything gets picked over by equally eager shoppers.
Kitchen Gear
May is an excellent time to pick up new items for your kitchen, from the smallest gadgets to large appliances. With graduation on the horizon for many young adults, as well as spring and summer weddings, retailers take advantage of the fact by discounting almost every kind of kitchenware imaginable.
Vacuum Cleaners
If you have your eye on a new vacuum but don’t want to pay full price, May is the perfect time to make your purchase. New models start hitting the shelves in June. So, many stores discount previous models to make room for new stock. The vacuum that was too expensive to buy last year may be a steal of a deal during the month of May!
Mattresses
May is the best time to buy a new mattress because it combines two events in one, a sale and a holiday! Much like older models of vacuums sold during this time of year, stores apply discounts to older mattresses to make room for new ones.
Waiting until your local store has their big Memorial Day Weekend Sales event often means you can get a bigger bargain on a mattress that’s already being offered at a sale price.
If you need any of the products mentioned above, May is definitely the time to make a purchase. Take the time to shop around, either online of locally. I guarantee you’ll be pleased with the bargains you find!

It’s so good to be targeted with shopping like this, and there really are some amazing sales this time of year. It’s a great time to be thinking about refreshing a mattress, especially as they should be changed regularly. I also like the idea of refreshing kitchen gear too.
