The Chronic Consumer

Ever wonder when is the best time to buy a treadmill? Or a lawn mower? Well, Consumer Reports has published a shopping calendar that helps people figure out what’s on sale when. This is a handy chart that will let you know if you should wait another month or two before making that next major purchase. I’ve bookmarked the calendar and will definitely refer to it whenever necessary!

And just in case you’re curious, May is the month to buy athletic apparel and shoes, cordless phones, camping and outdoor gear, lawn mowers, and small consumer electronics. Interesting!
