Everyone likes to save money. Some save it in an account. Some save it under the mattress. But, if you could save money, while spending money. Counter-intuitive right? Well, we here at the Chamber of Commerce would like to show you this wonderful way of saving money. If you have just a little patience, you can save hundreds and possibly thousands every year. So, shall we start saving money?
​
The secret to saving money while shopping is not clipping a whole bunch of coupons. No, the secret is to have patience, and by items at end of each season. Then, if you insist, clip those coupons, and save even more money.

Best Things To Wait Until Spring To Buy

  • Home Gym Equipment - With more people doing their workout outside in the warm weather, manufacturers are eager to get rid of excess inventory. https://web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Sports-EquipmentSupplies​​
  • Boats -It's off-season for boats and manufacturers want this big-ticket item off the books.  web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Marine​
  • Cruises - Prices fall dramatically between January and March. web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Travel-Agencies
  • Ski & Snowboarding Equipment – We're pretty sure no one is hitting the slopes. ​web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Sports-EquipmentSupplies

Don't buy spring fashion, furniture or new cars.

Wait Until Summer and Save Big

  • Large Appliances – Manufactures are preparing for gear up in the fall. web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Appliances
  • ​School Supplies, TV's and Electronics - Prices drop in preparation for markups for Fall and Christmas.web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Office-EquipmentSuppliesServices
  • Automobiles - With new models soon debuting in the fall, you could save 15 percent or more.web.comoxvalleychamber.com/Automotive

FYI: Weddings are the most expensive in Summer, we suggest staying away from buying suits and accessories.

Prices on These Items Will Fall in the Fall

  • Patio Furniture - As the temperature cools, so do the prices.
  • Lawn Mowers - The grass is no longer growing and neither are the prices.
  • Grills - the Bar-B-Cue season is unfortunately gone, but so are the markups.
    ​
​Try to get your Christmas shopping done as soon as you can, the markups and crowds are coming to town!
See our Comox Valley General Retail page for a list of businesses.

Winter Wonderland of Price Cuts

Most of the things that you would buy in the Winter, should probably wait until after Christmas. After Christmas, they are generally steep, steep markdowns, as manufacturers race to get products off their books, in preparation for the following year's taxes.
  • Sports Equipment - Home gyms are out, gym memberships are in.
  • New Cars - The last week features the years best pricing on vehicles.
  • Clothing – You could see mark-downs as much as 70 or 80 percent.
Here at The Chamber, we hope that these shopping tips will keep you shopping -- but more importantly saving -- throughout the year!
