NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – With tax time right around the corner, April may not seem like a great month to splurge, but experts say there are some items you won’t want to wait to buy.

For people with high expectations for yards now that spring is finally here, or just looking to spend time outside, expect major mark downs in the home and garden department at most major stores, reports CBS2’s Alex Denis.

“Anything from patio furniture, to things for your garden, and also things like camping and hiking and other outdoor activities,” notes Trae Bodge of Slickdeals.net.

Those deals should last though the month as Earth Day falls on April 22.
