Save Big on These September Buys -- Savings Experiment

In September, some items are on sale more than others, but knowing what to look for is the key to helping you save. Here are some of the best bargains of the month.

According to Dealnews.com, the cheapest airfare deals of the year can be found in late September. In recent years, Vision and Spirit airlines offered one-way fares for as little as $1 (yes, $1!), while JetBlue has advertised fares for just $29 each way.

These prices are as low as they go, but they also come with restrictions. So, if you're flexible with your schedule, you'll have a better chance of nabbing a super cheap ticket.

This month is also a great time for coffee lovers, as September 29 is National Coffee Day. On this occasion, you can score a free or discounted cup of joe from chains like Krispy Kreme, McDonald's, Waffle House and 7-11, all of which have offered special deals in the past.

So, when it comes to your September purchases, use these tips to save big this month. Being a savvy shopper is all about knowing when to open your wallet and when to keep it closed.
