1. Beginner Tips:
Seasonal Sale
Cycles

2.  In general, most products, just like fruits
and vegetables, have “in seasons”. Periods of
time you’ll find lower prices and better and
more abundant sales. I’ve put together the
following list as a guideline for the seasonal
sale cycles. Of course, there are always
exceptions to the rule but these cycles are
helpful in knowing when to wait and when to
buy certain products.
