Saving with 6abc: What to buy in October

October 7, 2013 (WPVI) -- We're one week into October and deals abound!! They're so good we don't want you to think about waiting for Black Friday.

There are a handful of items that are actually better buys this month!

CARS
Since many manufacturers release new car models in September, experts in the industry claim that dealerships slash prices on older models and the best deals are in October with savings of about 20% on a 2013 model.

DENIM AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES
This is the time of the year many stores are trying to get rid of the jeans they didn't sell during back-to-school sales.

PLANTS
Stock up on bulbs and hearty shrubs now then store them in a warm place over the winter. They'll be ready to go in the spring.

COSTUMES
If you procrastinate, you can save up to 50% off costumes the week before Halloween.

BROADWAY TICKETS
October is a slow month for Broadway, so you're likely to find an abundance of discounted tickets and special promotions.

LOBSTER
October is lobster month at Route 6 on North Broad Street. Half-off all lobster dishes including a New England clam bake.

Here's what you should WAIT until next month to buy: Appliances, Cold Weather Apparel and electronics.
