If you can afford to spend money this month, you can also afford to save money this month: so that's my advice. Whatever money you would have spent over the next five months, stick it in some kind of savings account. Then when it comes to black friday you'll have an account full of money just waiting to be spent on whatever are the best deals are at the time - which are likely to be different to what's best to buy now.
