The first day of autumn is September 22, and stores are launching their best fall sales. Whether shopping online or in your local brick and mortar store, you’ll find plenty of sales and deals to help save money. Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy are just a few retailers kicking off the new season by slashing prices. You’ll find savings for upcoming holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, fall decor and home interiors, clothes, and accessories as well as end-of-summer clearance deals. Additionally, Best Buy will sell the new iPhone 7 beginning Sept. 16, and it’s now available for pre-order. Here’s a roundup of the best fall sales to get you started.
Fall means back-to-school and Amazon has sales running to help children and adults of all levels have a smooth transition this school year. The main back-to-school sale is geared towards parents and their elementary age children. The sale features deals on grocery items, uniforms, school supplies, and much more. The back-to-school sale runs until Sept. 26. In addition to the main back-to-school event, Amazon is running deals for college students. This sale also expires on Sept. 26.
Amazon has stocked their Halloween store with costumes, supplies, candy, and decorations. Some of the top Halloween costumes for 2016 include Avengers , characters from Finding Dory, Joker and Harley Quinn, Star Wars characters, LEGO, and comic book heroes. Many are shopping early for Halloween costumes to ensure they get a great deal before they sell out. Amazon holds sales every day including daily deals, goldbox deals, and lightning sales. These sales are often time sensitive and run out quickly. Many lightning deals will continue to sell at a lower price after the end of the deal. If you miss a lightning deal, don’t give up. Typically, you can still save on the item price. The best daily deals are those that are marked down 70 percent and more.

Wal-Mart was recently under fire for a Florida store’s promotion of a sale using the Twin Towers and 9/11 as a marketing ploy. Some found the display so despicable, they’ve vowed to boycott Wal-mart. Others consider it a tasteless mistake. Wal-Mart has a number of fall sales going on that have nothing to do with the September 11 terrorist attacks. Are you protesting Wal-Mart for their display?
