Did you know that there are different things on sale each month of the year? 

A while back I put together a Month to Month Shopping Guide that lists the best items to buy each month to save money!

Here I am highlighting the best items to buy this month!

May

This month there are special holidays offering discounts…

For example, you can find Star Wars merchandise and deals thanks to Star Wars day on May 4th: “May the Fourth Be With You.”
