Whether you’re saving up for a much-needed item or splashing out on something that’s ‘nice to have’, timing is key when making household purchases. Whatever the motivation for buying, PriceSpy, the price and product comparison service, has researched the best and worst times of year to potentially buy certain items for the home.
The findings are based on prices PriceSpy recorded during 2022. While there are no guarantees the same patterns will apply in 2023, the data may give some helpful guidance for shoppers this year. It’s always worth keeping an eye out throughout the year for price drops and bargains, however, as some retailers may have unexpected sales to shift stock.
“Whilst people’s reasons for shopping will differ, one thing will surely be the same – no one wants to pay over the odds for a product if they can help it,” says Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, UK country manager at PriceSpy. “Knowledge is power, and knowing the best time to buy certain items means people can make their money go further.”
