Here are some of the best things to buy in October:
Shrubs, bushes, bulbs: Landscape goods that can make it indoors will go pretty cheap now.
Big appliances: They have to move those refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, to make room for the new styles.
Jeans: Now that back to school shopping is over – you can get a good deal on all the jeans you love.
Cookware: Retailers are putting out holiday gift promotions all during October and November.
Toys and games: Retailers are pushing out “early deals” to light a fuse on the holiday season – and lots of stores offer layaway.
