Aaahhhhhh…the first cool, crisp days of fall have arrived!
It’s a new month, and it’s time to tackle a new to-do list! Here’s your October planner…
Check your calendar and plan ahead! Any October birthdays, parties or special events coming up? Do you need to find an outfit for a party? If you plan ahead, you’ll have time to find a bargain!

Closet Organizing…the change of season is a great time to organize your closet! Need an incentive? Don’t allow yourself to buy new clothes until you’ve finished the closet cleaning project.

Fall Cleaning…the change of season is also the ideal time for house cleaning projects like pressure washing, window washing and garage organizing. Don’t wait until it’s too cold for the outside chores on your to-do list.
Thanksgiving or Christmas Travel Plans? Now is the time to start researching airfares, hotels and rental cars.

Best Items to Buy in October
Thanks to my friends at FreeShipping.org for sharing this list!
-
Air Conditioners – The temperatures are dropping, and so are the prices!
Appliances - The new models are arriving this month, so you’ll find great deals on the older models.
Cars – The new model year has begun, so buy an ’09 and SAVE! Always buy a new car at the end of the month when dealers are trying to make their quotas.
Gas Grills – The gas grill section at Home Depot & Lowe’s is shrinking! They are clearing out the grills to make room for Christmas, and the savings are huge!
Fruit – apples, cranberries, grapes & pomegranates.
Veggies – broccoli, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes & winter squash.
You’ll save time and money by planning ahead! Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark!
Now…go out, be organized and tackle your to-do list this month!
