What to Wait Until Black Friday to Buy
There are some items it’s better to hold off on until Black Friday when sales are typically more significant.
Heavy winter coats: While the selection is great, wait for deeper discounts upcoming in November.
Down jackets: These often see better prices available close to the holidays.
Skiing and snowboarding gear: Generally, you’ll find more competitive pricing as Black Friday nears.
Current-season styles: Newly released items might drop in price as Black Friday approaches.
Shopping during Labor Day can be smart, but timing is everything!
