I know as I get older it gets harder to keep the weight from creeping up no matter what I do…and now with cooler temps, pumpkin spice everything and warm coffees luring me every day, a little help with weight maintenance and even losing a few pounds can certainly help!!!!

Here are some GREAT deals happening right now that I recommend checking out, and my personal experience with some of them.

Get Healthy U – $3 for a FULL year

Get Healthy U Premium

I’ve also downloaded and used their free workout calendars planned by fitness experts to help me stay on track!

How much did I pay for this? $3 for a full year. And now so can you!

What to Buy in October to Save Money

By Leave a Comment

What to Buy October

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!

October

Halloween deals are happening this month! However, note that the best deals are right before and right after Halloween.

It’s also pizza month so watch for pizza deals!

October is the best time to buy:

-Tires and car supplies are discounted for Fall Car Care month
–Halloween candy, decorations, costumes
-Summer clearance items; best time to stock up on next summer’s patio furniture or buy a grill
-Appliances and vacuums: New models arrive so you’ll find sales on last year’s kitchen appliances and washers and dryers
-Winter gear: Get good early deals on coats, hats and scarves
-Camping gear, as summer camping season comes to an end
-Travel! Warm destinations want to attract families now that kids are in school, and it’s not yet the holiday season. (However, COVID may affect demand in some areas.)
-Cars! October through December is when dealerships are trying to get rid of old models. Bonus – go at the end of the month as they’re most motivated to meet sales quotas.

What NOT to Buy Right Now:

Electronics. These will go lower in price next month for Black Friday so wait if you can.

Seasonal produce on sale now:

Acorn squash, apples, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cranberries, grapes, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, parsnips, persimmons, pomegranates, pumpkins, rutabagas, spinach, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, turnips, winter squash.

Discount Days

Columbus Day – 50% off clothing, shoes and home items at thrift stores like Savers and Unique Thrift Stores
