If you’re living on a fixed income, as many retirees are, it makes sense to stock up on household necessities, holiday essentials and gifts as early as possible in the fall. This can help you stretch your income and even make holiday travel and entertaining easier on your wallet.
Retailers and e-commerce sites know this and plan sales in the fall to kick off the holiday shopping season. Here are some of the the best places for retirees to find deals this season.
Amazon
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days ended October 9, but many brands extended their sales throughout the week. Tom’s Guide reported that Skechers, known for their comfy Hands Free Slip-In sneakers perfect for seniors, is having a “post Prime Day” sale.
Meanwhile, Cosori’s bestselling TurboBlaze Air Fryer, perfect for easy weeknight meals, is 25% off through October 15, while the company’s Mini (2 qt.) Air Fryer and Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator to create healthy snacks for less will be discounted through October 16. Additionally, select models in Levoit’s line of Smart Air Purifiers will be on sale through October 17.
Take a look for other Amazon discounts on cleaning products, cold-weather clothing and accessories, and holiday décor.
