Quiz: Do You Know the Best Deals to Buy in October 2026?

Whether you’re checking out options for winter weather or simply need to replace a worn-out set, buying new tires in October can save you money. In addition to purchase discounts, look for manufacturer rebates and installation deals. For example, Tire Rack is offering a $90 rebate on qualifying General Tire purchases; the rebate is $180 if you use a General Tire credit card. Other retailers include Costco, Discount Tire and Walmart.

Many retailers offer deep discounts (up to 60 percent off) on their remaining grills and patio furniture, but act quickly to increase your chances of finding the items you want before they sell out.

Many toys are manufactured overseas, so hitting stores this month can help you score deals. For example, Target is marking down select Barbie dolls and other toys during its Target Circle Deal Days sales event, Oct. 6–7.

“Retailers start their pre-holiday cooking push, and brands offer great promotions to help get kitchens ready for Thanksgiving,” says Kyle James, founder of Rather-Be-Shopping, a frugal-living website.
