What’s on Sale in January

After-Christmas sales are winding down, but the next round of bargain deals is beginning, with MLK Weekend sales starting later this week.

Each month of the calendar brings specific items that are on sale.  Here’s the what’s on sale in January, to help you spend those holiday gift cards you received, and save money in the bargain.

Theater tickets and restaurant meals are on sale in NYC, via Broadway Week and Restaurant Week, with BOGO two-for-one theater tickets and prix fixe lunches and dinners at 300+ top eateries.

Electronics, just in case Santa didn’t bring you the TV, tablet, smartphone, robot vacuum or voice-activated device or gadget you wanted.

The annual CES show in Las Vegas – which used to be called the Consumer Electronics Show and now calls itself the Global State for Innovation  – is now a blockbuster event where manufacturers introduce everything from automatic coffeemakers to automomous vehicles. With new products making headlines, the ones being replaced get discounted heavily.

Here’s what else is on sale in January

• January ‘white sales’ of sheets, towels and other bedding, in all colors, not limited to white
• Toys, so this is a good time to  stock up for birthdays and other family events during the year
• Cookware and other housewares, because we wore out our pots and pans cooking for the holidays
• Exercise equipment, to help us get rid of those extra pounds we added on during the holidays
• Swimwear, whatever is left from last summer to make room for this summer’s goods
• Winter clothing, including footwear, as retailers and e-tailers clear the shelves for the next season
• Homes and condos, to celebrate the new tax year, although the new GOP tax plan just signed into law already is likely to affect sales.

As always, comparison shop, check sales circulars and clip coupons for the best buy, even on sale items.
