TVs and Electronics. The fiscal year in Japan typically ends in March, which means that Japanese manufacturers want to cut prices and move out stock to make room for their newest items in the fall. You can find great deals on TVs and other Japan-made electronics for your home entertainment system during early April.

Running Shoes and Exercise Gear. Exercise apparel companies have caught on to the fact that many Americans wait until spring to start the resolutions they made back in January. This means lots of great deals on running shoes to entice would-be exercisers, and a boon for budget shoppers with active families!

Snowblowers. End of season sales make April the perfect time to pick up a snowblower on the cheap. As a bonus for the kids? Sleds are usually cheap in April as well, though act quickly as merchandisers will be clearing the shelves to make way for spring inventory.

Office Supplies and Furniture. Many new businesses wait to launch until after tax season ends on the 15th, which means demand for office supplies spikes in mid to late April. If you've been waiting to stock up on chairs, paper, staplers, or other supplies for your home office, this is the time to hit up sales at most office supply retailers.

Car Care and Car Parts. April is National Car Care Month, so keep an eye out for deals at local service stations and parts shops. This is a great time to stock up on car care necessities like windshield washer fluid and motor oil, and a good time to get service done if you've been holding out over the winter months.

Last Minute Cruises. If you're on a budget, chances are that a cruise getaway isn't on your priority list. But if you've got a little leftover jingle to spend this spring, April is the perfect time to book a last minute cruise. It's a low season time between winter getaways and summer adventures, so you can find great discounts if you're ready to pack up and go at the last minute!
