To help you here we have amazing tips that are going to help you figure out what you need to save for this February.
Let’s begin!
It’s always good to start thinking ahead. When you have a better idea of what your family will need, or what will be on sale, you can plan accordingly.
Each month, there will be different things you should save for. Let’s take a closer look at what you should save for in February.
5 Things To Save For This February
Before you begin your budgeting for the month make sure you go over these tips and ideas to help you out this month.
Family Vacations
Chances are you’re tired of cold temperatures and snow. You may even be dreaming of a beach vacation with the family.
Now is a great time to start saving. Budget to see how much money you’ll need for the vacation and you’ll be able to start putting away money each week to meet your goal. Another perk is that March is when cruises start to see some major discounts.
If you’ve been dreaming of a cruise, put some serious cash away in February.
Chocolates
Don’t spend an outrageous price on chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Instead, save your money and wait for the prices to fall. Clearance prices will start right after Valentine’s Day, but in early March you’ll see discounts as large as 75 to 90% off.
Not only can you find deals at Walmart and Target, but you’ll also find discounts in pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS. Lastly, don’t forget to check the major chocolatiers like Godiva.
Frozen Foods for Your Stockpile
March is frozen foods month. This means you will find some serious discounts on your favorite freezer brands. Save in February so you have some extra money to spend on groceries in March.
Not only will you find sales, but there will also be some seriously awesome coupons out there as well. Combine the two and use rebate apps to save some serious money. You may even get paid to stock your freezer with some of the items.
Use apps like:
- Ibotta
- Checkout 51
- SavingStar
- Shopkick
- Fetch Rewards (use code DK24W to earn 2,000 points)
