A lot of people go mad for Black Friday, or the January sales. But are they the best times of year to buy things or is it all just hype?
With money tight for many people at the moment, a comparison website has delved deeper into the best months in which to buy certain products. And it turns out that the best deals can be found at different times - although there's one month that is best avoided all together.
PriceSpy has been looking into the deals and found, for example, that January was the cheapest month for buying dishwashers, barbecues and tumble dryers. For games consoles and wine coolers, April was the best month, while October was found to be the cheapest time to purchase a slow cooker.
