(Wise) Shopping Splurges in January
If there is one thing you should not be doing in the first month of a new year, it would be shopping. However, there are always exceptions to rules, and it is even a wise move to go shopping for these items in January (like buying gps for trucks!):
January is actually a good time to score some serious deals. Here are some ideas:
Linens and bedding Sheets, pillows, towels and more are all marked down.
Calendars With each passing day into the new year, calendars loose a little bit of value. Savvy shoppers wait a few weeks into the new year to see prices drop by as much as 70%.
Perfume This perennial holiday present usually sees its sales drop after Christmas so stock up before Valentine’s Day arrives.
Holiday supplies With nearly another year until the next holiday season rolls around, merchants are desperate to get whatever price they can for remaining holiday inventory.
Video games Many popular titles are targeted for release in the months leading up to the holidays, and such games see a drop in price after the hype has died down.
Furniture Most new furniture models hit stores in February and August, which means leftovers from last year’s collection have to go to free up floor space for new stock. You may even get a chance to negotiate.
