Kiplinger identifies 10 things you shouldn't buy for Christmas, offering the times of the year market forces cause certain items to dip to their lowest prices.
Here are a few of the items Kiplinger says you should hold off on buying:
Computers — Other than Black Friday, they hit their lowest prices in August, during the back-to-school frenzy, dipping 10 to 20 percent below average prices.
TVs — January and February are the best times to buy, thanks to a Super Bowl-driven supply gut and the urgency to move them out of the way to make room for new models hitting shelves in March.
Cameras — Late February sees 30 percent discounts, because early-year trade shows announce newer models, decreasing demand for the soon-to-be outclassed cameras.
