When you get bored of moving the sofas around and rearranging the furniture to offer more space or a better seating position, your only option is to buy new stuff to fill your living room with. Furniture normally has a massive mark up for the retailer so they have some leeway when they want to let their stock go in anticipation of a new season so you can get some great deals if you go for a clearance couch. When's the best time to grab a great deal and where should you go to save money on your new furniture?

The Best Time to Save

With stuff like electrical goods, we all know that Black Friday in November is the best time to buy items like that but that time of year is not the right one to buy furniture if you want money off. Most retailers run post-Christmas sales as they prepare for the arrival of new stock in February so if you've got money in January, that's a great time to buy new furniture. If you find January difficult after spending heavily in December, there is another month in which retailers offer discounts.

Outdoor Furniture

July is another month in which you'll save cash as the next new line is normally available from August. Although August is typically a month when retailers don't discount couches, bed, wardrobes and other indoor furniture, if you're looking to buy outdoor furniture it's actually the best month of the year as retailers try to sell off their stock before the fall. Of course, you might not get much use out of them before the cold weather returns but the savings can make the investment worthwhile.

School and Office Furniture

If you're in need of a new desk or chair for your office, the fall is the best time to buy those things because retailers compete with each other for students' and their parents' money. During the winter months, you won't normally find too many deals on furniture as the market slows down while consumers spend money on Christmas but local shops don't always follow market trends so you might find a deal closer to home. If the store is a little down on its sales targets, you could find a sale at any time of year.

Budget Sofas

Budget sofas and couches are an option if you need to buy when retailers aren't running a sale, but are they worth the investment? You really are investing when you buy furniture because you want it to last many years, so check out the quality, read reviews of the items you're interested in and then consider if you can wait. Maybe the cheap couch you're interested in will be discounted. If not, you'll be able to get yourself a higher quality one when the sales begin.

Patience

Do you really need a new couch now or can you wait? The answer for most people is that they can wait. There's not normally an urgent need for new furniture if you're renewing old stuff so wait a while and buy when the sales are on. There are times when a pet ruins a couch or a new bed or mattress is needed because the old one's uncomfortable. Maybe you're moving to a new place and want to begin your life there with new furniture. Whatever the reason might be to buy outside of sale season, do some research and you'll get a great deal.
