I’m going with food items and say homegrown tomatoes. As far as other things, back to school clothing especially if you live in a state where they observe a tax free holiday on such items.
I bought an IPad yesterday because it is tax free weekend for back to school in my city.
Last shot at summer veggies and fruits. Tomatoes, Nectarines, Peaches, Zuchini, Vidalia onions, cherries,Corn and watermellon. That is assuming you live in the norther hemisphere.
Other melons as well (Honeydew, casaba, cantaloupe), local blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, fresh dill, basil, mint, parsley, peas, sugar snap peas…I have my first large tomato ready to pick and I have been eating my own cherry tomatoes like popcorn, off the vine in a pot on porch.
@john65pennington: Right. And all the other bad weather paraphernalia; snow shovels, rock salt, sand, snow blowers, gloves, wool hats, parkas, skis and poles, shoe shoes, yaktrax, ear muffs, etc.
@chyna: Chains for sneakers for winter walking, especially on ice. They are very fashionable around here. Winter in the NE is not for sissies. MIlo has his custom-made. http://www.yaktrax.com/walker
@pearls: Obviously you don’t get six or more feet of snow and the sheet ice that usually accompanies it. Are you lying around a swimming pool in February?
Camping gear is always on sale at the end of the summer, and a lot of other outdoors items will be too. And there are some deals to be had on computers as people buy new systems for college.
Yard Sales have alot of variety and most times there are items that you have been looking for, but could not afford otherwise. Like I found a huge bag with roll wheels for only three dollars and at the sports store it is priced at over ~150.00 dollars. Just look around and you will be surprised the deals that you find.
