I'm looking to replace my fridge and stove, and I don't want to break the bank. I've seen ads for Best Buy and Costco, but I'm not really sure where the prices are most competitive. Are there specific times of year when this kind of appliance is really cheaper?
It really depends on your region and which brands you're looking for. Best Buy and Costco are two totally different worlds - with Costco you have to be a member and their stock changes constantly, so if you find what you want at the right time that's great, but it's not guaranteed. Best Buy generally has more selection and regular sales. Then there are also appliance specialty stores that have some interesting deals, or even sites like Amazon Canada that are worth checking out.
For timing, Black Friday and Boxing Day are obviously the big moments for appliance discounts - you can save quite a bit then. But honestly, I've noticed that good deals come around pretty regularly throughout the year, like at the end of the month when stores want to clear out stock. My advice is to compare prices online before going to a store, and don't rush - once you know exactly which fridge and stove model you want, you can track the prices for a few weeks. Often a sale pops up when you least expect it.
The Black Friday and Boxing Day periods are really where you'll find the best deals on appliances, like 20-30% off is pretty standard. But honestly, if you can't wait until then, I'd tell you to check the websites of big local stores too - sometimes they run special promotions on end-of-season models that are way cheaper than Best Buy or Costco, and you don't need a membership!
