The Best Things to Buy in November

November may be all about holiday gift shopping but don’t forget that you still have plenty of time to check off your list. In order to stretch your budget as far as it can reach, you may want to jump on certain items this month and leave others for December. Here is our complete guide on the best things to buy in November.

Kitchen Goods – Restock your own cook’s corner or plan gift-buying for all the foodies and chefs on your list this month. Experts report that nearly half of all kitchen sales have featured the lowest prices of the year on top items like Pyrex containers and even KitchenAid mixers.
Stores to watch: Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond.

Major Appliances – Black Friday has been known to feature the hottest appliance sales on items like Dyson vacuums, washers, dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators. However, the entire month of November is fair game. So while you may not be planning to gift an entire washer/dryer unit, you may consider taking this time to upgrade your own.
Stores to watch: Sears, Best Buy.

Tools – Expect to see amazing deals on select hand tools and power drill sets. This is usually typical for the colder months when people are less likely to take on household projects. However, beware. Some purchases may require in-store pickup while others will offer free shipping. Always be clear on the purchase terms before checkout.
Stores to watch: Ace Hardware, Lowe’s.

Tablets – Tap into savings with rock bottom prices on cheap tablets including Android and Windows models. Believe it or not, you may be able to score off-brand Android tablets for as low as $20 and Windows tablets for as low as $45! Want to save even more? Go with a refurbished model. If you’re an Apple user, don’t fret. The iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 are projected to drop significantly in price with the upcoming release of the iPad Pro.
Stores to watch: Lenovo, Best Buy.

Clothes – Start shopping for clothes on the Monday before Black Friday to see the most savings on apparel for the whole family. The average clothing sales for this time of year can take off over 50% while some can go as low as 80% off. Also, be on the lookout for clothing coupons that can take up to 60% off.
Stores to watch: Kohl’s, J.Crew.

Console Bundles – Black Friday is slated to bring the best prices of the year on console and game bundles including PlayStation4 and Xbox One. The best bundles will include two free video games normally priced at around $60. If you’re tempted to buy a refurbished console to save money, it may actually be a better deal to go with a bundle so be sure to weigh the costs.
Store to watch: The Hut, Game Stop.

15″ Laptops – Expect to see amazing price drops on big-name laptops that use either Intel’s current generation Core i5 processor or the Broadwell Core i5 CPU. These laptop sales will also extend to generic laptops, however, you may want to opt for higher quality at a great deal. Big names will go for about $300 while bargain bin, 11″ laptops will be as low as $150.
Stores to watch: Kmart, Microsoft Store.

Candy! – Need we remind you that Halloween has passed leaving lonely Halloween candy on shelves just waiting to be eaten? Fill those candy dishes with fun-sized errthang at next to nothing!

Video Game Must Haves

With an amazing 2015 lineup including Batman: Arkham Knight, Persona 5, Yoshi’s Wooly World, and many more, gamers are more excited than ever for what they will be playing this year. But playing video games is much more than just buying the game itself. Having the right hardware can take your gaming experience to the next level. We’ve come up with nine video game must haves to completely immerse yourself into the world of your game.

Razer BlackWidow Chroma
One of the best gaming keyboards on the market, the Razer BlackWidow Chroma is responsive, sleek, and has a great amount of macro keys. This mechanical keyboard also has full RGB illumination so you can customize its colors in any way you want.

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Gaming Mouse
It comes across as intimidating at first, but this all-purpose gaming mouse has been regarded as one of the best on the market. The Proteus Core has 11 programmable buttons and the software it comes with creates separate profiles for every game installed on your computer.

ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset
The Astro brand is synonymous with gaming headsets and for good reason. The A50’s are compatible with Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. With a long-lasting battery life, a comfortable design, and crisp sound, it’ll be even harder to say no to one last match.

SquidGrip for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
Long matches of Destiny and intense boss fights in Bloodborne can leave you with sweaty hands. SquidGrip is made to help alleviate sweaty hands and improve overall grip so you’ll never miss a second of play time wiping your hands on your jeans. (Also available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.)

Elgato Game Capture HD60
If you’re interested in streaming your gameplay over Twitch or YouTube, investing in the right equipment is key. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 records and streams your footage in 1080p quality with 60 fps.

GUNNAR Gaming Eyewear
Give yourself the ultimate edge against your enemies with GUNNARS. The lenses make it more comfortable to play for long periods of time as well as increase on-screen contrast with the protective anti-glare coating. GUNNARS are also available in prescription. (Model shown above: Intercept.)

Xbox Live & PlayStation Plus Time Cards
If you play online with your console, chances are you’re set up with a subscription to Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus. The convenience of renewing automatically is great (not one day of down time) but at times you can scour the internet for great deals on these time cards and use Ebates to get Cash Back with them. Rakuten has one year of Xbox Live right now for $48.42, normally $59.99!
