Viewpoints Industry – Best Things to Buy in August

August is the month when back to school deals are sweet. It is also the month when summer clothing and bathing suits and the like go on sale. Viewpoints Industry reveals the best things to buy in August and what to avoid.

Check state websites for the tax-free weekend on back to school supplies. Florida’s was last weekend. The tax-free weekend can save families a bundle on school stationary supplies, clothing, uniforms, laptops and more. The state website should have a list of what is tax-free during this time.

Summer essentials and outdoor items are on sale now. This means bathing suits, shorts, lightweight shirts, sandals, beach and pool toys, beach towels and more. Sign up for email alerts from favorite catalog companies and save even more. Stock up for the remainder of the summer and early fall when the weather is still warm.

Avoid big ticket home appliances like washing machines and dryers, holiday items, smart phones and tablets, and travel plans for the holiday season. Labor Day and Black Friday are creeping up quickly and this is usually the better time to get a good deal on large home needs. Viewpoints Industry suggests taking advantage of summer sales both in the store and online. Stash the money saved into a savings or retirement account and feel better knowing that you saved twice.

Time-Saving Travel Tips from Viewpoints Industry TV

Time cost money when the business traveler is on the go. Viewpoints Industry TV wants to make the next business trip faster, easier and better.

Be loyal to your loyalty clubs for airlines, hotels and rental cars. Loyal customers get better perks like seat and room upgrades and rental cars are usually ready for you at arrival.

Invest in the TSA PreCheck and Global Access. These two services which cost a small one time only fee speed travelers through security check points. Nothing is more frustrating to a harried business traveler than waiting in a long line to get through security.

Never, ever check luggage. Carry on your one bag for the trip and pack it like a pro. Most business trips last a few days to a week and everything needed fits in it.

Viewpoints Industry suggests beefing up data plans to be sure all devices have the speed to help the business traveler get work done.

Pack chargers, cords and extra batteries in baggies. It keeps them from getting tangled and they are easily accessible in the under the seat bag.

Consider shared office spaces like offices Regus offers. Business travelers will find everything they need there with live people if assistance is needed. It also provides meeting rooms. Good luck.
