Best buys in January

Take a look at some of the best buys of the month of January:

Furniture

New furniture is usually released bi-annually – in February and August. So retailers usually have lower prices in January in the hopes of clearing space for newer inventory on the way.

Linens and Bedding

January is the time to take advantage of “White Sales.”

Big Appliances

New models for big appliances tend to roll out in September and October, but many stores will keep older models in stores through the holiday months. Then, they’ll reduce whatever’s leftover after the holidays. So keep an eye out for deep discounts on older models of large appliances starting in January.

Carpet and Flooring

People looking to renovate typically tend to want to redo their home in time for the holidays. So if you wait until after Christmas to purchase carpets and flooring, you’ll save a bundle.
