5 Items Retirees Need To Buy During Home Depot's Red, White & Blue Savings Event
The beginning of July may be a good time to buy items for summer entertaining. With its Red, White & Blue Savings event, Home Depot is offering deals on outdoor items through July 8.
“For retirees spending more time at home, a sale like this can be a practical opportunity, especially if things around the house have needed attention for a while,” said Taylor Kovar, certified financial planner and co-founder of UseKlear.com. “Outdoor furniture tends to be worth looking at. Retirees are often entertaining more or just outside more, and buying during a sale versus peak summer pricing can make a noticeable difference.”
