In with a lion full of savings, March mixes it up with a new selection of sales from the usual department store apparel discounts. Spring is one of the best times to stock up, especially if you're looking for a good price on a long-term item, such as jewelry, luggage, electronics, or even a place to live.
Things to wait on:
- Spring clothing (best deals are in April and May)
- Lingerie (best deals are during the semi-annual sale in June)
- Vacuums (best deals are in April and Black Friday)
- Thrift shopping (wait until spring cleaning begins, then hit stores in April for the largest selection of the year)
- Cookware and kitchen accessories (these go on sale during graduation season in May)

Electronics (MP3 players, DVD players, tablets, laptops, smartphones, digital cameras): With the new products unveiled at January's annual Consumer Electronics Show now reaching store shelves, look for steep discounts on last year's models and some introductory deals on new products. The Japanese fiscal year also ends in March, and since that's where most of our gadgets are made, you'll see markdowns similar to our end-of-year sales in January.
Luggage: It's in between vacation seasons, so expect to find luggage markdowns before spring break (early April) and summer travel begins.
Frozen Foods: March is unofficially known as National Frozen Foods Month in the industry, which champions some sleek deals for consumers. Look for specials pricing items 20-50% off. The best part, since they're frozen, you can stock up all month!
Houses: According to Bankrate, spring is a great time to buy a house (or search for a new apartment, if you're a renter.)
Jewelry: Get a head start on Mothers' Day shopping and snag some great post-Valentine's Day deals on marked down jewelry.
