I spent quite a bit on having two Christmas celebrations with my daughters. Now that I’ve got a little cushion in my bank account again, what could I look for at January sales? I know it’s a great time for white goods, sheets and towels, but what other great deals may now be available.
Holiday décor, holiday leftovers, small kitchen appliances, fitness gear, gym memberships, beauty items, TVs, soft home goods, Valentine’s Day flowers, winter clothing, and laptops are likely to be on sale in January, according to DealNews. See the details below:
Holiday décor
Maybe. Lingering items such as items Christmas lights and decorations and boxes and bags to store Christmas items in are likely to see deep discounts.
Holiday leftovers
Holiday-themed items, such as sheets and beer steins, and toys – will probably be discounted.
Small kitchen appliances
Look for sales on items such as panini presses, nonstick electric skillets, electric egg cookers, hand mixers, and waffle makers.
Fitness gear
Look for bargains on toning ropes, yoga accessories, medicine balls, weights, pullup bars, weightlifting bars, portable guy kits, and exercise bikes.
Gym memberships
Compare prices on the different deals for guy memberships. Be sure to read the fine print so you don’t get tricked.
Beauty items
Gift sets from the holiday sales, lip and eyeliners, lip gloss, nail polish, hair dryers, and other beauty items are likely to be deeply discounted.
TVs
If you missed the Black Friday sales, when you can get the best deals, you may be able to find some good bargains in January.
Winter clothing
I always like to shop for a new winter coat in January. In addition to coats, look for sales on sweaters and fleece jackets for kids.
Laptops
Compare prices for laptops. Although Black Friday and the back to school season are usually the best times to shop for laptops, January may also provide some great deals.
Soft home goods
January is the month when white sales pop up at a number of retailers, including department stores. In addition to sheets and towels, look for sales on blankets and comforters.
What not to buy in January
Mattresses
Mattresses should see a lot of discounts during Presidents’ Day sales, so it’s best to hold off until then if you’re in need of a new bed.
Major appliances
They’ll be discounted around Presidents’ Day; wait until then if you can.
Jewelry
Jewelry will see some discounts around Valentine’s Day in February, but note that you may have better luck finding deals on pieces that aren’t designed with the holiday in mind.
Snow gear
Items for winter sports are in high demand the first few months of the year, so you’ll likely find better discounts when the season begins to wind down in March.
Luggage
March can be big for luggage deals, which could be related to people traveling for spring break vacations. Rock-bottom prices are likely.
Spring clothing
Don’t expect spring clothing prices to drop until April at the earliest.
Best wishes with your January bargain shopping. I hope these tips help.
