Seasonal pricing cycles repeat every year. Pairing PriceWatchPro history charts with a simple calendar helps you lock in the best time to buy everything from TVs to patio sets.
Walmart: weekly rollbacks and seasonal resets
Best time to buy: TVs and game consoles see markdowns around Super Bowl week and early summer; small appliances dip during Memorial Day and Black Friday.
- Watch the Walmart tracker for “Rollback” tags and compare against historical lows.
- Use alerts on both online and in-store SKUs so you capture local clearance drops.
Best Buy: weekend deal cadence
Best time to buy: Open-box electronics trend lower on Sundays; laptops and smart home gear drop during back-to-school and holiday doorbusters.
- Check the Best Buy tracker on Friday–Sunday and set short-lived alerts on limited SKUs.
- Overlay our price history with My Best Buy sale dates to decide whether to wait for the next circular.
Home Depot: project seasonality
Best time to buy: Outdoor power tools drop in late fall; appliances hit lows on Labor Day and Black Friday; paint promos pop up every 6–8 weeks.
- Track the Home Depot feed and add alerts before spring and fall project seasons.
- Use “compare stores” within the chart notes to spot regional clearance trends.
How to act on timing signals
When history charts show a repeating low, set your alert just above that number. If a price sits within 5% of the past 30-day low, it’s usually a good time to buy.
