Major purchases typically on sale: October: Appliances, new cars from current year model after new model introduction of next year’s models (NMI) and furniture.
Travel: October is a great time to go to Florida when it is often a good bargain and less crowded.
Fruits and vegetables: apples, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, cranberries, escarole, grapes, green peppers, lima beans, parsley, pears, pumpkins, rutabagas, winter squash, tomatoes, turnips. With some produce now available all during the year, many people have forgotten when fruits and vegetables are freshest.
