Where the Deals Will Be in January

At the beginning of each month this year, I am going to post where you can expect to see deals that month.  Some things traditionally go on special every year like clockwork.
That way you can be on the look out for sales on certain products that go on special every year at that time.
So let's get started with January's bargains!

*January is all about diet & health products.  All that celebrating makes us want to get back to eating less/healthier and exercising.  Brands associated with low-cal foodstuffs go on sale.

*There are also deals on OTC medicines, vitamins and such as we go into flu season.

*The end of the Holidays also signals deep cuts on the prices of Christmas merchandise.  Don't forget everyday items with Holiday decorations/themes also being discounted(ie-napkins, plastic bags, boxes of cookies, baking mixes with red/green or holiday images).

*January is also a big organizing month, so look for deals on organizing supplies and containers.

*End of the month is Super Bowl so look for junk food deals toward the end of January.  Better yet, buy some of the diet foods or look for healthier ways to do the junk food thing.
