Best buys in November

When it comes to deals, there’s plenty to be thankful for this month.

With discount shopping days like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Deal Tuesday, November offers a buffet of saving opportunities for shoppers who’ve been biding their time.

So start making your list, and check to see what offers your favorite stores, warehouse outlets and online retailers have planned for Veteran’s Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Here are just a few of the best buys to jumpstart your holiday shopping savings.

Electronics: Look for deals on everything from televisions, smartwatches, gaming systems and laptops to tablets, desktop computers and smartphones. It may also be a good time to give a few smart home devices a try.  Experts at DealNews.com and ConsumerReports.org say maximizing savings means waiting until Black Friday, on Nov. 23. If the crowds aren’t part of your post-Thanksgiving dinner plans, you can always safely shop online.

Video games: Just in time for the holidays, you’ll find discounted games across all platforms through December.

Vacuums and appliances (both large and small): Time to get that InstantPot or finally replace your dishwasher. There are plenty of opportunities to save throughout the month especially around Veteran’s Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday. You’ll find the deepest appliance discounts at home improvement stores toward the end of November.

Wedding dresses: According to GoBankingRates.com, with the latest designs hitting the runway, brides-to-be open to considering “older” inventory can score discounts of up to 70% off their dream gown.
