We might not all associate Mother’s Day with great sales on food items, but any holiday drives sales at the grocery store. Even if you aren’t celebrating with your Mother, take advantage of Mothers Day Sales to stock up. And if you are, give her a big hug (and make her brunch.)
Cinco de Mayo is a primarily Mexican holiday, celebrated, too, in the United States. It’s another of my favorite food Holidays, and I feel a bit remiss about not posting much about it until now. Start looking for sales in the weeks before Cinco de Mayo and through out what ever week Cinco de Mayo falls. For the uninitiated, Cinco de Mayo translates as 5th of May. (May 5th is also National Enchilada Day.)
Starting a week or two before Memorial Day (when summer “unofficially” starts up to Labor Day, which signifies the end of summer’s casual fun, you’ll see grocery stores responding to each holiday in turn with sales.
As far as saving at the grocery store during any of the summer holidays, you’ll see many of the same things on sale, with just a few exceptions, whether you’re talking Memorial Day, Father’s Day, The Fourth, or Labor Day.
We all know food is seasonal, but what about office supplies? Absolutely. Clothing? You betcha. Body Wash? You got it! Cameras, computers, bedding? Musical instruments? Batteries? Some of the lowest prices of the year on many items can be found during the back to school sales.

I’ve mentioned Strategy Number 4: Take Advantage of Cyclic Changes in the Market, many times, on every Holiday post. While we think of cycles in food as being seasonal, seasonality isn’t the only, and maybe not even the most important, cycle affecting grocery store prices.
