With the economy the way is right now, most people are looking for big savings, and discounts
not to mention freebies. Here is a list of the things we recommend consumers to buy. Topping
our list are;
1. Televisions: Each year it seems as though TVs get cheaper and cheaper, but this year those
decreases are starting to make larger flat-panel TVs far more affordable. The radio/television
category in February’s Consumer Price Index was down 9 percent from a year ago as more
manufacturers get into the flat-panel business, driving prices down.
2. Furnitures: For those who never really got around buying furnitures due to tight budget,
this is the best time. Even if you are only looking to remodel you can find great bargains during this
time. With fewer people buying houses, fewer people are buying new furniture. Jim Sluzewski,
a spokesman for Macy’s, says furniture demand across the industry has noticeably decreased
over the past year. That’s driven many furniture retailers out of business, according to John
Baugh, an analyst who covers the furniture industry at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. Inc. Retailers still
in the market have to respond to those liquidation sales with price cuts and clearance items of
their own. Baugh also noted that consumers with good credit can also often obtain very
attractive financing.
3. Laptops: Belive it or not, many people dont own laptops. It has become increasingly convienent
to get access to a computer while your out. Paul Ryder, vice president of consumer electronics
for Amazon.com, says laptop prices have dropped thanks to the interest in netbooks. Although
the Consumer Price Index does not break out laptop computers from others, it seems to broadly
support this claim, with personal computer prices falling 13 percent in February from a year
earlier.
