Really work for me.
complimentpin
so basically buy things when they're totally inconvenient to buy
HazelCapulus
I live in Australia. Yeah, let's stock up on sweaters and winter apparel in January.

An alarming number of my relatives have died in March. That's why I'm usually very keen to see the back of it. Ides of March indeed.
Dwight127r
Is this true?

I know. Something doesn't have to be a holiday to be celebrated. That's the joke. I'm SO sorry for including a store in a list of holidays.
olegh
When you need something and you find a good deal. That's the best time.
CasandraunqJ
Ah perfect,I understand now
ClaricegFvM
Nothing.
DwaynejUhR
I really hope this is working
bingotown
Can we please just stop buying so much crap?

Or you could save money and not buy anything like me. Oh wait.... that's because I'm poor.
slotjocky
How to be a cheapskate
Linnywtf
What month do I buy magic cards though?
WinterInMyHeart
I have a crazy idea, how about I just buy shit when I actually need it, and not try to find happiness through consumerism?
Tripster
Step 1: have money
understandable
If you're spending money all year round, when do you save?
photog
And 365 days of the year? Pizza!
Dyslexicglove
June sounds like a bitch. Buy all this cute lingerie, oh and have all these free donuts so you no longer fit into it.
Equinox13
But you've totally got that gym membership you signed up for in May so you can work off all those donuts. Ahah...hah...hah....
Panzer89
I've always followed my flawless strategy of buying shit I need when I need it. It's been working out pretty well for me so far.
Himejii
But then how can you do your part as an over-consumer of material crap?
Mayyybe
No, no,no....... I like to get Christmas gifts around the end of July early August, TONS of lil gifts,
therpsichore
I like to keep an eye year round for discounted stuff, I once worked retail during the summer sales, scores for the christmass stuff!
Mayyybe
Yasss!!
Dannydelacruz3
Cant wait to get me some of that 2014 furniture...
UncleMeaty
Yeah. I missed it this year, but next year I hopefully won't forget.
krlw
A horrible year, but apparently wonderful furniture
nejvek
Don't forget you should 'invest in discounted chairs, tables and couches.'
WhenISpeakGIFsComeOut
Step 1. Go to the USoA to make this checklist relevant.
krlw
I know! I'm from Canada and some of it doesn't make sense - but I'm guessing if you change things a bit it will make sense
StubbornViking
It depends on what you celebrate. Most of the seasons are fairly similar between countries though.
yourbassist
Really? No holidays coming up in March? Easter ring a a bell?
PossiblyAGriffin
I was about to comment this...
thuperduperthpeshul
Seriously. I went hunting for discount candy and it was all 100% replaced with Easter stuff :(
TehKMatt
I found some at target for 70% off but it was a hint for sure
TehKMatt
Hunt, dyac
xiumiin
Easter and St Patrick's day!
yourbassist
That's a booze holiday though.
iritebooks
You know what goes good with beer? Chocolate.
yourbassist
More booze
thepseudowoodo
Easter is a moving holiday. It's very early in March this year, but usually it doesn't happen until mid-April or later.
Hendlton
Wait, what? It's on the first of may this year.
PossiblyAGriffin
Yes, but considering they've put Easter stuff out in January (here in the UK at least) it still doesn't make a terrible amount of sense
TehKMatt
It's not early March. It's late. And it moves because it follows a lunar calendar (1st Sunday after 1st full moon after vernal equinox) 1/2
thepseudowoodo
I worded that wrong. I meant that it was early in the season, falling in March as it does.
TehKMatt
This is valid. Easter is a fickle holiday
TehKMatt
And I honestly can't tell you how I know how it's dated that way. My brain soaks crap like this up like a sponge. 2/2
jazzchameleon
It sounds kinda pagan-y, don't you think? Full moons and equinoxes? It's odd for the Catholic Church to use that method
TehKMatt
It has to do with Passover, actually. Jews follow a lunar calendar
legendofscotty
Yeah let me just go "stock up" on some fine jewelry...
wherearemytesticles
All I need is a small loan of a million dollars
AStrangelyHandsomeDwarf
I used to buy a couple pieces of jewelry on sale then hold on to them for a while as presents for SOs.
therpsichore
I guess it's more of a if you know you'll need something for a gift and find a nice one on sale why not buy it then.
PossessionOfTheBeat
I do this! I shop for best friends and family year round. My bf's bday is Monday. I started getting gifts in September.
SmilingHitler
See I always get way too excited about presents and I end up giving it early or spoiling the surprise
CrashedEgo
Right!? Who "stocks up" on jewelry of any kind let alone fine jewelry? Is it a fad diet I haven't heard of?
Himejii
Yeah, I don't think people with "stocks" of jewellery care what it costs... The more the better, even.
Sorcatarius
I wouldn't say I "stock up", but its not unusual for me to grab one or two items on sale to hang onto for gifts.
CrashedEgo
See when I buy jewelry it's because I've upset someone of the opposite gender who lets me poke her with my meat stick
Sorcatarius
And if you know this is a possibility, than why not buy something when its cheap and just stash it away for later?
TW6173
i dont know about @CrashedEgo 's S.O. - but some people can sniff out such things like gifts like bloodhounds after a convict on the run...
CrashedEgo
Because it's not a possibility, it's an inevitability and I never know if I'm going to be birthstone sorry or gem sorry or diamond sorry
CheeseAusar
Would help if I lived in America
krlw
I live in Canada, just adjust it
CheeseAusar
Unfortunately I live an entire ocean away from murica. Still kind of helpful since some things are relevant, but I can't follow as it is.
NotAgainRichard
No, you cant 'just adjust it'.
StubbornViking
Or, you know, you can just adjust it.
AHipHopHippieToTheHippie
I live in South Africa. Seasons are different, school year doesn't start in September, we don't celebrate president's day, memorial day 1/2
AHipHopHippieToTheHippie
Thanksgiving, Victoria's secret, etc etc. If I have to adjust that much I may as well make my own list. 2/2
StubbornViking
Victoria's Secret isn't a holiday...
AHipHopHippieToTheHippie
It's still celebrated.
StubbornViking
Valentine's day is a holiday... Victoria's Secret is a clothing store.....
