Need to Save a Buck or Two? Here’s the 5 Best Things to Buy in January

Overstuff yourself during the holidays? Good news! January is the month that everyone decides to shed a pound or two (or 20...) ... so whether it’s equipment or gym memberships, exercise-related stuff is on sale!

We're not really thinking about bikes in the sub-zero South Dakota weather - but if you decide to pull the trigger on a new two wheel ride, it could really pay off this month.

Did you know that new models of sofas and loveseats come out in February, so furniture stores want to clear out inventory. It's an opportunity to save 40% - 60% on a "last year" brand new sofa.

In case you haven't noticed, some stores are already putting shorts on display. The other day, when it was 4 degrees, my wife and I saw a swimsuit sale at Target! Obviously, coats are so...yesterday. Save big on coats now - when we need them!

As soon as January 1st hits, calendar prices are slashed ... by as much as 75%. Aaaand your cubicle co-worker cannot have too many cat calendars, right?
