Every month has its own unique deals. Here are three things you should consider buying in February.
Discounted Valentine’s Day gifts
You’ll probably have more success buying discounted Valentine’s Day stuff closer to the end of the month, but retailers are known to start sales before the big day if they have too much inventory.
Keep in mind that various floral and gift companies will be eager to drive business during February, one of their busiest months of the year. Look online for a promo code if you’re looking to send flowers over the internet, or spend a little time browsing sales. It really is possible to make your spouse happy without breaking the bank.
Winter apparel
If jackets, gloves, and snowpants haven’t sold by February, retailers start getting nervous. The last thing they want is to hold that inventory over the summer.
You might not need a winter coat right now, but think ahead. Will you need one next year? Deals of at least 50% off are common.
A new TV
Savvy consumers have been pulling the same trick for years now. They buy a new TV for the Super Bowl and then return it on Monday.
You can take advantage of this by shopping open box sales after the big game. Some stores will just ship the unit back to the manufacturer, but others will try to sell it for something, knowing there’s a perfectly good TV in there. Take advantage of those sales to get yourself a cheap big screen television.
