11 things that will be sold in January for a penny
Goods usually sell seasonally. But not everything is as obvious as the fact that winter boots are most profitable to buy in spring. Edition MSN listed items that traditionally can be purchased at a good discount in January.
Gym membership
Gyms will host special events throughout the month to try to attract new entrants, said Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst at DealNews.com.
As a result, you can conclude a contract without additional fees, which can cost your annual membership $ 100.
Fitness equipment
According to Ramhold, if you prefer to play sports at home, January is a great time to buy fitness equipment.
“Within a month we will see more offers for fitness compared to any other time of the year,” she says.
Televisions
Larger equipment, such as televisions, will go on sale at the end of the month.
“Keep an eye on prices as Super Bowl approaches,” advises Kimberly Palmer, personal finance expert at NerdWallet (this year's Super Bowl is February 2).
“Big stores usually offer the best discounts during preparation,” she said.

Bed linen and towels
According to Ramhold, it is worth following the so-called white sales in January. They can begin on January 1 and last a whole month. When you see these discounts, expect to save up to 75% on bedding and towels, as well as other household items, including rugs and mirrors.
Winter coats and boots
It is still a long way to the end of winter, but retailers are already preparing for spring, plan sales and try to make room for new deliveries. Discounts of up to 60% are expected, says Andrea Vorokh, an expert on consumer savings at AndreaWoroch.com.
Carpets
Since home sales tend to peak in the fall and summer, carpet and floor prices also peak at this time. And vice versa: when in January home sales slow down, it's time to find a suitable carpet.
Broadway tickets
If you are still waiting for a meeting with Lady Hamilton, then now is the time to buy tickets. Broadway Week in New York runs from January 21 to February 9, and visitors can get two tickets for the price of one for various shows, Ramhold says.
Festive decor
According to Ramhold, it’s worth going to the shops in early January.
“The longer you wait, the less choice,” states Ramhold. Michael's has already cut prices for outdoor decorations by 50%. After Christmas, expect Target discounts of 70-75%, and home improvement stores such as Lowe's can save you up to 85%.
Electronics
Missed Black Friday? As a rule, these are the best offers of the year in this category. But you can also get pretty good prices right after the Consumer Electronics Show (January 5-10). Wait for the show to finish when new models are announced, and older ones like Apple Earpods are likely to be on sale at a discount.

Furniture
Since manufacturers typically release new collections in February, current models must be sold in January. This means that most of the furniture will go on sale this month. Want to save even more? Look for darker colors, as they are associated with autumn and winter, and will usually cost even further.
Skin care
According to Sarah Skirball, an expert on shopping and trends at RetailMeNot, in January you can get skincare products on average 28% cheaper.
