I’m still a kid at heart, and I love dressing up for Halloween parties.  But I don’t want to drop a lot of cash for something I’ll only wear once a year.  Oriental Trading has a pretty nice selection and the prices are definitely not scary.

Oriental Trading Halloween Specials

A few things to note about our bargain guide:

- Bricks-and-mortar bargains will depend on your location.  Dean’s Hawaiian hometown retailers will not follow the same seasonal pattern as the shops  where I live on the East Coast.

- Balance your bargain-hunting with an assessment of your needs.  For example, if you really, really need a lawn mower, you’ll be taking a chance to wait for the end-of-season clearance; the model you want may be out of stock.  Where I live, the good selections on outdoor stuff are gone by mid-summer; everyone buys early.

-Overall, though, my absolute favorite bargain month is July.  All the spring and summer clothing is on clearance, and it’s a great time to shop in person rather than online.  You’ll find stores less crowded thanks to many people being on vacation.
-Buying a car?  Wait till the end of the month, when dealers are trying to boost their sales figures and may be more willing to deal.  Even better, pick an end-of-month date during October, November or December, because dealers also will want to clear out the current model year inventory.

Here is Jennifer’s month by month bargain buying guide.
