August Shopper’s Guide

August has finally arrived and with it some new shopping opportunities we would like to highlight in our August shopper’s guide. Consumers are now after back-to-school deals and promotions. In addition, travel and vacation offers will continue to tempt you from every corner, but only some will be worth your while. If you want to shop smart this August, find out the good and the worce buys of the month.

Go for it

Back-to-school offers are already in. Many retailers will compete for your attention will scandalously massive discounts. Therefore, if you are searching for children’s clothing or school supplies, now is the time to shop around. Even though some online stores as 6pm.com debuted their back-to-school deals as early as July, in August the bargain promos will be bigger and certainly better. Our advice is to make the most of them even if you do not have a student in your household. For instance, you can easily purchase a low-priced laptop through one of these deals.

Prices of sandals and swimsuits also tend to drop in August. So, if you still have not been to the beach, you should not be afraid to go on summer-themed shopping spree. In Dubai, you may sunbathe at least eight months.

Travel offers will keep on coming over the next few weeks. However, make use only of those for Eid Al Adha holidays and short trips. Do not expect to find a last-minute deal for a late summer holiday. If you want to save, think a little bit further and make your plans for the autumn, or even Christmas, early in August. Hilton’s summer sale is now on and you may get advantage on it easily.

Skip

Still, not all travel packages and discounts for the next season will be a wise investment. For those of you, who plan to enjoy a quick vacation after October, now may not be the best time to book plane tickets or hotel rooms. Better promotions usually show up shortly before November. Still, if your holiday will take place sometime in September or October, you should act now while prices have not started to heat up.

Another thing you should skip buying this August is an iPhone. Apple is expected to release the iPhone 6 next month. Even if you are not planning on getting the latest-generation smartphone of the company, in September, you will be able to find older generation including iPhone 5S and 5C with a discounted price tag.

Last, but not least, leave the fall clothing shopping for the fall. The trendiest clothing products are yet to debut on the market. Therefore, the autumn apparel and accessories which you will find in August will either be from the previous year or insanely pricey.

Keep your eyes open for promotions this month and make the most of them!
