What Not To Buy

Mattresses & Appliances—We always want to wait for a 3 day weekend for these items.  So try to hold out for Memorial Day if you can.

New Cars—New models will hit in September so aim to wait till August to get the best prices on this year’s new cars.

Gardening Tools—You may see the sales this month, but they will be cheaper in May… we are almost there.
