WASHINGTON – As summer draws to a close, companies are lowering prices to make room for new product versions or to get rid of seasonal items.
With this in mind, now might be the time to book a trip or upgrade phones. Here are some of the discounted items recommends.
Bikes: The season for cycling is coming to an end. As manufacturers get ready to announce next year’s models, now is the time bikes go on sale.
Cars: For those seeking four-wheeled transportation, cars will be cheaper in September as manufacturers roll out 2013 models.
Airfare: Eight weeks before a travel date is the best time to buy, so purchase now to prepare for the holidays.
MP3 players: The new Apple iPhone and iPod will be announced in September, so retail stores are clearing out the soon-to-be obsolete versions. And it isn’t just Apple announcing new technology, other companies will do the same.
