What To Buy In February
Hopefully you purchased your jewelry during the sales in December and January because prices are back up for February.If not, don’t despair! Look for coupons for value-driven jewelry sites like Netaya, ICE.com, Limoges Jewelry, and Ross-Simons.
There are also great coupons for lingerie sites like Victoria’s Secret and Frederick’s of Hollywood but watch the expiration date carefully.
Also, look at the ads for department stores like Macy’s. Last year, they had some good sales through February 14th.Then look for really big President’s Day sales the weekend after Valentine’s Day. This may be a good time to buy jewelry for Mother’s Day. Historically, retailers take as much as 85% off on a variety of goods like clothing, tools, bedding, and furniture. Some retailers tend to offer deeper discounts on existing sales, while others will lean towards modest coupons (likely an extra 20% to 30% off) that are applicable sitewide. Look to clothing and department stores for a big Presidents’ Day sale push.
So, what else to buy? If you’ve wanted a Wii U, look for great prices or amazing bundles. Nintendo released a report that showed their sales were far lower then they’d hoped. So, they will be motivated to get more people buying. Tax software will still be priced lower than it will in April.
Winter clothes are on the clearance racks right now as Spring apparel is being highlighted.
For big screen televisions, look for 55″ 3D 1080p LCD HDTVs. For the past five months the best deals on these TVs have averaged $700, and it’s only a matter of time before they hit sub-$700 terrain — especially now that 2014′s new models were announced at last month’s Consumer Electronics Show. If you don’t care for 3D, then look for standard 55″ 1080p LCDs that dip as low as $500. And while we generally wouldn’t recommend jumping on the 4K bandwagon, the 65″ Seiki SE65UY04, which Dealnews.com predicted would hit $1,900 in February, actually hit $1,388 last month. That’s a 53% drop from its December launch and a much faster price drop than expected. While it’s not videophile quality, it is a cheap way to get your feet wet with 4K technology, and may be more appealing in 2014, since there are more providers of 4K content.
Touchscreen ultraportable laptops have gone below $200, so if you’ve been thinking about it, now may be the time.
Don’t buy smartphones if you can help it. New models will be announced soon, and we should see price breaks then.
And to save money on groceries, buy what’s in season. There’s more than you might think.
