10 things worth buying in August

Duty free goods

Most of the duty-free sales in the US fall in August. This is a great opportunity to stock up on clothes, computers, school or office supplies, saving on sales tax.

Free Root Beer on National Root Beer Day

National Root Beer Day (a carbonated drink typically made from the bark of the sassafras tree) is celebrated on August 6th, and the holiday is a great excuse for a summer party. Check the social media accounts of your favorite restaurants to see if and how they will be celebrating the day. Many establishments treat visitors to free beer on August 6th.

Summer clothes

August is a great time to buy summer clothes. Belk, Gap, and Old Navy stores will have tons of discounts and prices will drop to incredibly low prices. Women's shorts are projected to cost $4 and men's shorts to cost $8. Dresses will retail for $5 to $7, men's T-shirts for up to $4 and women's T-shirts for up to $5.

Substantial discounts on swimwear are also expected. Children's summer clothes will also fall in price. Shop for 2 dollars apiece at stores like The Children's Place. Shorts can reach a minimum of 7 dollars, the price of dresses will drop to 5 dollars, and t-shirts in sets can cost 8 dollars each.

Laptops

The best option for purchasing equipment is to wait until Black Friday, as this is when you can find the best price deals. However, if you can't wait that long, buy your appliances in August to take advantage of seasonal sales.

New Google Chromebooks will cost as little as $140, while entry-level 15-inch machines will cost up to $400.

School supplies

Students, parents of students, office workers, and office supply lovers can—and should—take advantage of discounts on office supplies this month. Some items in this category will cost less than $1.

Discounts will be at Target and Walmart, as well as at Staples, Office Depot and OfficeMax.

Patio furniture

August is traditionally a good month to buy patio furniture, and you still have time to take advantage of this purchase before the weather turns bad.

Outdoor toys

UAVs, trampolines, playhouses, play kits for the backyard, sandboxes and other similar items will be available in August with substantial discounts.

Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy are the best places to find great deals.

Early Labor Day Sales

Labor Day in 2019 will be September 2, but sales will start earlier. Last year, the first sales started two weeks before the holiday, and this year the situation will be similar, so the first sales may begin on August 19.

Free waffles on National Waffles Day

August 24 is National Waffle Day, when you can enjoy this dessert for free. However, the best promotions this holiday are offered by local, not national chains, so pay attention to them first.

Seasonal fruits and vegetables

Enjoy the best prices of sweet fruits, including:

• apples
• apricots
• bilberry
• melon
• figs
• kiwi
• mango
• peaches
• plums
• raspberries
• Strawberry
• watermelon

As for vegetables, August is the ideal month to buy:

• zucchini
• corn
• cucumbers
• eggplant
• beans
• kohlrabi
• salad
• okra
• pepper

5 things you can't buy in August

Latest iPhone Model

Apple will almost certainly hold the next presentation of new models in September, after which prices for last year’s models will fall sharply. Therefore, it makes no sense to acquire these models before September. Even more, the cost of these models will fall on Black Friday, so it's better to wait with the purchase of an iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10

A new Galaxy Note 10 will be presented on 7 August; He is expected to appear in stores by August 23. Since this will be a completely new model, its purchase will be a very unprofitable investment due to the overpriced price.

Autumn clothes

Fall clothing sales won't start until October, and August is when they hit shelves, so prices will be some of the highest of the season.

Home Appliances

With the replacement of the refrigerator or washing machine, it is better to wait until Black Friday. If you need to buy them now, then at least wait for the start of sales for Labor Day.

Televisions

And here, again, it’s better to wait until Black Friday - there will be more choice and lower prices.
