We honestly think about the timing of our sales pretty carefully, and feel like there are lots of good opportunities to save throughout the year. To time them perfectly is nearly impossible as there always seems to be a sale or event around the corner.
We've done GGG in summer when people are vacationing and spending on kids and that doesn't work great. We've tried it at Christmas/New Year when people are spending fatigued because of the holidays and not around much. We have to work around NSD, our annual summer sale, DSD, Black Friday and our Anniversary in February, so I'd advise to just think of any sale as a good opportunity to add to your stash within your means.
If you cant spend during both, pick your favorites here and there! We get it, we really do!
