Back to School Supplies
September is the time of year for the final clearance of all back-to-school merchandise. You know what I am talking about – the crayon, pen, and pencil packs for less than a dollar, preschool and grade school copybooks going by the dozen, and all bits and pieces of stationery at ridiculously low prices. You can expect to find a generous 25-75% off school supplies, so stock up while the going price is great!
Computers
Back-to-school is a good time to upgrade or buy a new computer. Look out for bundles which can include goodies such as laptop bag/sleeve, a wireless mouse, flash drive, free shipping and other accessories to sweeten the deal.
iPhone Upgrades
September is the month that new model iPhone’s are released. Techies are already speculating about the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Discussions are heating up about the new specs, features and release dates in order to secure a place in the line outside the shop to get their hands on the latest models. But, what this means for you is what was considered a new model to date is about to be old stock, so retailers will be putting together promotions to entice you to buy. Also, the lure to trade-in your old model for a new one is always hard to resist, so weigh up the pros and cons.
