Infographic Alert: The Best Times to Buy Holiday Gifts

Yes, this is the month of infographics – embrace it!

This one, from Savings.com, presents when the best time to score deals is from online retail sites that the company has analyzed. The graphic was made by looking at a database of 1.5 million deals from 25,000+ retailers to reveal peak times to get deals. Here are some highlights:

– For electronics, you’ll want to shop early; the first two weeks in November and again on Black Friday offer the best savings in this category. Avoid the week right before Thanksgiving, as prices are at their highest.
Clothing and accessories: Take advantage of site-wide deals on Cyber Monday and stock up on jewelry, handbags and shoes…then beginning December 15, the percentage off will start to increase again.
– The first week in December is best for toys, games and sporting equipment; you’ll find triple the amount of deals.
Food & Wine: The three days before Christmas are best for discounts on food & wine… purchase before Dec. 23 to avoid paying huge shipping fees.
