Best deals for shoppers in October

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Retailers and shoppers might have Black Friday circled on their calendar, but that's still a calendar page and 54 days away.

So now's the time to know what to buy and what to back off from buying in the month of October.

First for Halloween, it's no trick that you can find treats on costumes, but only if you wait to buy the week before Halloween.

"Stores like Hot Topic, Joanne Fabric, Kids Stores, The Childrens Place, They could take up to 80 percent off," said Lindsay Sakraida.

And if you're costume of choice are jeans, you're in luck. With back to school in the rearview, it's the best month for discounts on denim.

"Many apparel retailers will be taking up to 70 percent off their back to school denims," adds Sakraida.

And hot prices on cool wheels. October is the best month if you're in the market for a new car, but only on last year's 2012 models.

"Experts predict you can save 10 to 20 percent off on older models, especially if it's a model that's been discounted," adds Lindsay.

And raise your glasses for less as fall harvest makes October a great time for deals on wine.

Also look for deals on cruises, what's being billed as the World's Largest Cruise Sale starts the week of the 21st.

But dealnews.com/ says the biggest tip in October - be patient. When it comes to appliances and electronics simply wait for November.

"We'll see their best prices the entire year in November and specifically black Friday weekend. TV's, laptops, tablets even, DSLR cameras, even large kitchen appliances, and cookware are better in November," adds Lindsay.

One more deep discounted item is anything outdoors like plants or outdoor furniture. If there's any selection - you can get big time money off.

But the big tip, it's just 54 days until Black Friday. If you can wait to buy that tv, or computer, or large appliance do it.
