Whether you're looking for Christmas or Hanukkah gifts or just purchasing some needed items for your household, December is a great time to get deals on all sorts of things. Look for major markdowns on:

Electronics, including TVs
Computers
Carpeting and flooring
Tools
Toys
Winter clothes
Cars
Motorcycles
NFL tickets:  there are several more weeks in the season.  Bundle up and enjoy the game!
Air conditioners:  yes, now.  I hate writing about air conditioners when the heat's broken in my house, but at this time of year, stores want those space hogs out so they have more room for seasonal items like snow blowers.
Champagne:  plan ahead for New Year's Eve!
Gas grills:  you don't have to wait until summer to use these.
Bridal gowns
Weddings:  my husband and I got married in January (also a good month to get discounts on wedding stuff.  BONUS:  the church was still full of the Christmas poinsettias, so we saved on flowers!)

I'll see you again on Monday with Weird Holidays and more.  Have a great weekend!
