TVs
January is definitely the time to buy a new TV. You may have been tempted during Black Friday but hopefully, you held out. This is when the prices on last year’s models really start to fall big time. Don’t listen to all those people that tell you to rush out and get a TV during Black Friday. Just wait and you will be rewarded.
Fitness Equipment
Do you want to start the new year off on the right foot? Start saving in December to buy fitness equipment in January. Treadmills, weights, yoga mats, and everything else you need to get healthy in the new year will be on sale. This includes gym memberships.
Bedding, Linens, and Towels
During the month of January, you can score up to 70% off bath towels, bedding, and more. If you want to treat yourself to new linens, start saving now. What better way to start the new year than new bedding that allows you to get a more comfortable night’s sleep?
Christmas Decorations and Gifts for Next Year
It was mentioned that you needed to save for Christmas decorations in the What to Save For in November article. However, you should also still be stashing money away in December. You will continue to see clearance Christmas items throughout January.
These deals will be incredible – sometimes up to 90% off! It’s not only Christmas decorations and paper and such, either. You can also find items that would make incredible Christmas gifts. Buying ahead can save you so much money.
December, if you planned correctly, may leave you with a bit of money in your pocket. Instead of spending the money on something you don’t really need, why not save it for something better? There are so many great buys during the month of January.
