FEBRUARY BUYING GUIDE

January may be the month for snagging the greatest post-holiday deals, but February offers up some hefty discounts as well. Deals at the beginning of the month will likely be slim-pickins' due to Valentines Day, but after February 14, expect to see sales bounce back again. Get your Washingtons and Lincolns ready for Presidents' Day Sales, the best time to shop this month.

Most Presidents' Day Sales begin on Friday and run through the three-day weekend. It's somewhat of a sweet spot to shop as some retailers are struggling to liquidate straggling merchandise from last year, while others have a handful of new items in for the spring. Expect to save up to 85% off on clearanced items and 20-30% off on new-this-year merchandise.

Things to wait on:
  • Consumer electronics (MP3 players, DVD players, tablets, laptops) - on sale in March/April
  • Jewelry (highest prices of the year due to Valentine's Day)
  • Flowers and chocolates (highest prices of the year due to Valentine's Day)
  • Lingerie (highest prices of the year due to Valentine's Day)
  • Luggage (on sale in March)
