The 5 smartest things to shop for in November
1. Health and beauty (average discount: 33% off)
Whether you need to revitalize your health and beauty regimen or have a beauty maven to shop for this holiday season, now is the time to stack your savings. Many beauty retailers run big promotions this month as they know everyone is in gifting mode. Keep your eyes peeled for valuable holiday bundles and sets. Plus, you’ll see doorbuster deals during Cyber Week.
Look for deals from these health & beauty brands we love:
- Ulta
- Sephora
- CVS
- Dyson
- Musely

2. Clothing (average discount: 23% off)
As the weather keeps getting colder, clothing retailers are pushing fall styles onto the clearance racks to make room for heavier winter gear. This is a great month to add to your cool-weather wardrobe or find the perfect sweater for someone who loves a practical gift. Watch for good Cyber Week deals later this month.
Explore clothing deals from these reliable retailers:
- adidas
- PUMA
- Anthropologie
- Princess Polly
- Ashley Stewart
3. Gifts (average discount: 21% off)
You’ll see tons of great gifting options marked down throughout the month, which is great because the holidays will be here before we know it, and it’s never too early to start. Keep an eye on prices throughout the month and strike when the price feels right.
Check out these brands for amazing gift deals:
- Macy’s
- Total Wine
- Shutterfly
- SharkNinja
- Pandora
4. Toys (average discount: 20% off)
Big box retailers all want to have the season’s biggest toys at the best price, so be sure to check multiple spots before you buy. Keep in mind that the most popular toys probably won’t see a price cut until mid-to-late November. If there’s a number one must-have toy on your child’s wish list, don’t wait too long or you risk the toy running out of stock.
Here are some must-shop toy brands and retailers:
- LEGO
- Walmart
- KiwiCo
- Target
- Academy Sports
5. Computers and electronics (average discount: 16% off)
Tech like computers and other electronics are major Cyber Week savings categories, so if you need new gear or know someone super tech-savvy is on your nice list this year, wait until the major sales start to find the best deal. You’ll likely see the lowest price of the year on these items in late November, so you’ll know you’ve gotten the best deal possible.
Be tech- and savings-savvy when you shop here:
- Lenovo
- Dell
- Woot
- Best Buy
- Office Depot OfficeMax
The 5 things NOT to shop for in November
1. Fitness gear
Even if you already feel motivated to level up your fitness routine during all the holiday festivities, now is not the time to shop new gear. The best markdowns in this category hit in January when everyone is making New Year’s resolutions for better health.
2. Linens
You might see linens and bedding on sale at this time of year, but the discounts aren’t as deep as they could be. Traditional retail linen sales happen in January, so you don’t have to wait too long to get a better price.
3. Mattresses
While Cyber Week this month can be a great time to shop some big-ticket items, mattresses don’t make the cut. You’ll find the best mattress prices during holiday weekends like Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day weekend.
4. Indoor furniture
You’ll see some furniture markdowns this month, but the price cuts aren’t that steep. Skip for now and shop the better sales around January/February or July/August when there is typically new inventory that leads to some majorly good deals.
5. Luggage
You may have an avid traveler to shop for this holiday season, but buying them luggage this month is not the way to go. Early spring and late summer are the times of year when you’ll see big discounts on travel gear and accessories.
