If the holidays didn’t wreak havoc on your finances, you’re in for a good shopping season. Below I share four items to shop for in the month of January to save money.
Bedding and bathroom linens – This is the time of year I stock up on new bedroom and bathroom linens. Many stores will begin competing to sell you sheets, comforters, towels, and pillows during their so-called white sales. Expect prices to keep on dropping. I share tips to
save money at white sales in case you need to stock up.
Air conditioners – Depending on where you live, you may not even be thinking of air conditioners. Rest assured no one else is either. So this is a great time to hit the stores and get some quotes. You can also do this online! Come the first hot day of the summer, you’ll be glad you shopped early. Bobbi shows you how to buy an air conditioner.
Jewelry – Plan ahead for Valentine’s Day to save money on jewelry gifts. Jewelry stores tend to see their traffic wither after the holiday season and it doesn’t tends to pick up till February. Look for bargains now for that gift for your special someone. Ladies, now’s the time to drop a hint to your man!
Patio Furniture – Stores that sell patio furniture tend not to see a whole lot of customers during the winter months. If you are planning on getting patio furniture, this is the time to do it. You will be getting last year’s model, but you’ll be saving lots of money. Price compare and take home your furniture. Make sure you have a place to store it till spring comes around or better yet, buy furniture that is weather proof.
What other deals do you tend to find in January?

I would add to this list Christmas ornaments, decorations, and supplies. The best deals go within a week or two, but you can get hot deals through the end of the month.
Great reminder on V-day! I’m a great bargain hunter too but now need to hit the budgeting hard. My boyfriend is still trying to find the best deal possible on an engagement ring or set-ideas?
Oh also, any summer sporting goods are usually great deals at this time, I always kick myself when I’m looking for a river raft and they’re sold out everywhere in June.
@Ashley Great suggestion! Anything for summer should be on sale now. Trick is to buy stuff when no one else is even thinking about it.
Congrats on your future engagement!
