Sears Appliance Coupons Rotate: Time Your Purchases Accordingly

ads>

refrigerator Did you know we maintain an up-to-date Sears Coupons list all year long? Sears releases updated coupons about once per week, and sometimes releases short-notification specials just before the weekend, so the page changes often.

The Sears Coupons list is part of our Home Improvement Coupons List, an e-mail list service we offer to notify readers of the latest home improvement deals from Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, and other stores. The coupons also appear on the lower right of the home page, but if you want to get notifications of updates, we suggest signing up to receive the updates via e-mail.

What you might not know is that Sears rotates appliance coupons on a pretty regular schedule. In fact, there’s an appliance coupon in the list almost every week, so there’s almost always some deal you can get on a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove or other major appliance you’re looking to replace or upgrade.

But if you want to get the best deal, you’ve got to time it just right. We’ve been watching these coupons for over a year, and while you can’t predict for certain which weeks Sears will post the best deals, there’s a pretty regular trend and standard offerings.

Most of the year, you can get 15% of Kenmore Appliances (Sears’ brand) and 10% off all other brands that Sears sells (e.g., Maytag, Frigidaire, GE, others).
During most of the holiday season and intermittently throughout the year, they bump up the discount to 20% off Kenmore and 15% off all other brands. This is the deal listed on the coupons page today.
About four times per year (usually just before a major holiday, like Fourth of July), they’ll run a 25% off Kenmore special but you have to buy three major appliances to get that special, otherwise it’s reduced to 20% or 15% off. Sometimes there’s a related non-Kenmore special, and sometimes not.
Finally, about four times per year and usually not on major holidays, Sears runs Friends and Family specials. These are the best deals you can get on appliances with the 20%/15% special active plus an EXTRA 10% off. That comes to a total discount of 28% off Kenmore and 23.5% off all other brands.

The trick with the friends and family specials is that most of them run only for 12 hours – usually between 6pm Sunday evening and 6am Monday morning. It’s a hard window to hit, but it’s worth an additional $8 off every $100 in appliances you purchase. That’s not a bad deal.

If you subscribe to the list, you’ll get a few days notice of F&F events so you can plan ahead…
