With the holidays upon us, there’s still plenty of time to score some excellent deals. Here’s a look at the biggest December discounts.
Big-screen TVs, home theater accessories and gaming systems. The sales on these popular holiday gifts will continue through December, though rock-bottom prices may have already occurred in November.
Tools. A popular classic gift for the handyman or woman, tools of all sorts and tool boxes will be on sale this month. Look for the biggest discounts on the latest and greatest styles and models.
Kitchen gadgets. Lots of the smaller home appliances, which are popular as gifts, will be deeply discounted into December as retailers try to entice last-minute shoppers. Expect coffee makers, blenders, toaster ovens, and pressure cookers to be among the most heavily discounted.
