Best Buys for October
October is here, and with it comes crisp fall weather, festive vibes, and plenty of opportunities to save. From holiday sales events to end-of-season clearances, this month offers some of the best deals of the year. Here’s what to shop for in October:

October
Amazon Holiday Deals
Amazon is kicking off holiday shopping early with its Prime Big Deal Days event on October 7–8. This two-day sale is exclusive to Prime members and features major discounts across thousands of categories, including electronics, fashion, and home essentials. Not a Prime member yet? You can still take advantage by signing up for a free 30-day trial Here.
Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day Sales
Falling on October 13th this year, Columbus Day—also observed as Indigenous Peoples’ Day—brings a wave of sales, especially at department stores. Expect markdowns on clothing, shoes, home goods, and beauty products. It’s a great time to refresh your wardrobe or stock up on essentials before the holiday rush.

Denim
Missed out during back-to-school shopping? October is the month for deep discounts on jeans. Retailers slash prices on unsold denim to make room for winter fashions, so you’ll often see buy-one-get-one-free offers or steep markdowns.
Outdoor Gear & Summer Clearance
With summer officially behind us, retailers are eager to clear shelves of warm-weather gear. Look for clearance sales of up to 60–70% off on camping equipment, fishing gear, tents, and hiking supplies. Lawn mowers, grills, patio furniture, and outdoor décor are also heavily marked down—perfect if you want to plan ahead for next year.

Fall Produce
October is prime time for hearty, seasonal produce. Shopping in season not only brings the freshest flavors but also saves money. Stock up on:
Fruits – pumpkins, apples, pears, grapes, figs, cranberries, and citrus fruits
Vegetables – squash, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, beets, and cauliflower
Local farmers’ markets are a great place to find these items at their peak.
Toys
October is when retailers start clearing space for this year’s must-have holiday toys. That means last season’s games and toys will be marked down. If you’re looking to get ahead on holiday shopping, now’s the time to snag some deals.

Halloween Clearance
Halloween lovers, take note: the best time to buy decorations, costumes, and candy for next year is right after October 31st. Stores slash prices quickly to clear shelves, so you can score steep discounts if you don’t mind planning ahead.

National Taco Day
Mark your calendars—October 7th is National Taco Day! Many restaurants celebrate with special deals and freebies, so check your favorite local taco spot’s social media for offers.
October is full of savings, whether you’re prepping for the holidays or stocking up for next year.
