Best Deals in November 2020 (and What to Avoid!)

Are you on a shopping break until Black Friday & Cyber Monday? You might want to rethink that strategy. While Black Friday & Cyber Monday typically kick off of the holiday shopping season, this year is different (in more ways than one, obviously).

What Not to Buy in November

Furniture

The savings in this category are at their highest in January, due to the shipment of new models in February. 

Holiday Decor

If you can hold off until next month, do.  Stores will be anxious to clear space for the post-holiday season, so the discounts will deepen throughout December, reaching clearance levels right before and after the holiday.
