Seasonal shopping... January!

We all know the saying "To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the sun". That holds true for shopping too. During the year there are better times than others to buy certain items. Here is what you should look for during the month of January:

• Holiday Clearance. Now is the time to buy all your wrapping paper, a new artificial tree, Christmas lights, decorations or new holiday tableware for next December. You can find it from 50-90% off if you are willing to look.
• Along with the holiday clearance, you can get good deals on gifts that weren't purchased such as bath sets, photo frames and other goodies that will work great for birthday or wedding gifts for the next few months.
• End of season winter and fall clearance including clothes, shoes and accessories.
• Towels, sheets, comforters and other linens generally go on sale at the end of January as well as some cookware.
