By Jim Donovan
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- To buy or not to buy, how do you know when you're getting a really good deal? 3 On Your Side Consumer Reporter Jim Donovan heads straight to the experts and offers advice for November bargain hunters.
When the retail shopping experts at DealNews.com examined November pricing trends, several things were certain including the fact that stores will be dishing up their best prices of the year on cookware and small appliances. According to Mark LoCastro of DealNews, "Rarely do need and 'best time to buy' so perfectly coalesce. Around Thanksgivings everyone is going to be cooking for the most part." He believes the low prices will likely hold steady through December.
Tools are expected to be a good buy in November too. LoCastro says, "Winter in general is a great time to get your hands on fantastically low-priced tool and hardware sets. November in particular offers double the number of quality deals that we label editor's choice."
If you're in the market for a new TV around Black Friday look for 42 inch LCD screens to be priced as low as $178, but if you need something bigger LoCastro says, "The best deal of the year are going to be the larger 60 inch LCD's and we're predicting these to cost around $420 come Black Friday which is going to be the best TV deal of the entire year."
If you've got a sweet tooth, left over trick-or-treat candy is priced to move in November too. And while the best prices on winter apparel come in January when stores want to clear out merchandise, November has some of the best online coupons of the year. So if you can stack a coupon along with an existing sale on winter apparel, go for it.
