October is here and while it may be the last day of the month, Halloween is top of the shopping list, especially for parents.
This is how Halloween works: if you have a specific costume that your child must have, just pay full price and get it now, according to Trae Bodge, a smart shopping expert with Slickdeals.net. As the month goes on, the prices will drop but the selection will thin as well.
You will find some Halloween discounts throughout October, but don’t expect major deals till the end of the month.
Spirit Halloween.com is giving 20 percent off any item with an email sign-up. Target is giving $5 off when you spend $30 or more on costumes, decorations, and candy through October 6. Kmart is giving 25 percent off costumes plus an extra 10 percent when you spend $40 or more.
This is also a great time to start thinking about holiday travel.
Trae says if you package things together, the discounts will be better. If you only need a flight at the holidays because you’re staying at Mom’s house, you might find a discount but it won’t be as good as if you’re renting a car and getting a hotel at the same time. Slickdeals has codes for up to 30 percent off at Budget.com.
…
Just avoid electronics, such as laptops and TVs. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are sooner than you think—and the deals on those days can’t be beaten.
