 TITLE: How to Save Money on Furniture for a New Home CONTENT: 3\\. Shop During Sale Seasons\n----------------------------\nShopping during the right seasons is a great way to snag deals on furniture. Generally, furniture prices fall in late summer and late winter as stores prepare to stock new styles that arrive in the fall and spring. Here's a bargain-hunting rundown for specific types of furniture:\n*   **Living room and dining room furniture**: For this category, aim to buy items from January through April, when demand and prices tend to decrease.\n*   **Mattresses**: You'll often come across mattress bargains around major holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Presidents Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day. Cyber Monday, which falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving, might be a good time to score an online deal on mattresses too. You might even try shopping for mattresses between Christmas Day and New Year's Day or on Super Bowl Sunday, when fewer shoppers are out and about.\n*   **Outdoor furniture**: You can unearth some sweet deals on outdoor furniture between Independence Day and Labor Day. Steeper discounts may be available on outdoor merchandise that remains unsold after Labor Day.\n*   **Office furniture**: Need to furnish your new home office? If so, the ideal time to buy office furniture usually is around back-to-school time, when retailers slash prices on desks, office chairs and the like.\nNo matter the season, remember that some retailers offer year-round furniture bargains. They include Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Birch Lane, Hayneedle, Home Depot, IKEA, Kohl's, Overstock, Target, Walmart, Wayfair and World Market. END
