GROUNDHOG DAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

February second, Groundhog Day, is a fun occasion providing retailers a good reason to have a sale. Because there is no real holiday or merchandise associated with Groundhog Day (unless you live in Punxsutawney PA ) merchants are looking for ways to get customers into their stores or to shop online in the bleak days of early February. Some of the best buys to look for are special service deals like free plumbing or furnace inspections, discounted event tickets, hotel discounts, airline tickets and all manner of “two for one” or “buy one get one 1\/2 price” deals – including restaurants. \u00a0You’ll never know what type of unique sales merchants will offer in honor of Groundhog Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“THE” BIG NFL FOOTBALL GAME<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Even though our family stays away from junk food<\/strong> most of the year, during the week before “The” Big February 2nd game, we almost always buy a bag of Doritos and some Pepsi to enjoy while watching the game, along with our healthy Low Carb Snacks.<\/a> \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Yes! Their advertising works. After seeing a few of the unique Super Bowl ads, which is the chief reason many watch the game, after many years, we know we are going to be wanting a Pepsi and some Doritos. \u00a0The good thing is that they will be on sale during the week prior, so we can be prepared, AND the slight lapse in healthy eating will be less expensive.<\/p>\n

Sales for this game include all manner of snack type foods<\/strong>\u00a0which include, frozen and delivered pizza, chips, dips, candy, crackers, soft drinks, cheeses and wings, as well as fruit and vegetable trays. Most of these specials will be available the week before and a couple days after the big game.<\/p>\n

This is a super great time to buy a\u00a0TV<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 especially really big ones, like 55+ inches. (Hint: November is the very best time.)<\/em> The larger TVs will have the greatest discounts, but you can find good deals on all sizes. So if you\u2019ve been planning on buying a TV you might want to shop before the Big Game.<\/p>\n

In the days RIGHT AFTER the game, be on the lookout for sales on NFL team clothing and other team items.<\/p>\n

VALENTINE\u2019S DAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day offers start well before the beginning of February and go right up to the 14th. Some of the very best sales are near the first of the month. Buying flowers online<\/strong> is definitely one of the great ways to find your top bargains on flowers. If you can get your flower order in early, you will find special offers that can include free candy and\/or vases with your floral purchase.<\/em> \u00a0You will also find that online flowers are some of the freshest flowers available, and you can usually set the delivery date. Check out Rakuten Coupon Codes and up to 32% cash back <\/a>for\u00a0deals from Pro Flowers, 1 800 Flowers, FTD Flowers and others.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s gifts, like stuffed animals, candles, perfume and candy<\/strong> are also better priced at the start of the month. \u00a0 Sales prices for candy, jewelry and other valentine related merchandise occur during the first two weeks of the month, and there will be lots of other items on sale in honor of that special day.<\/p>\n

Right\u00a0AFTER Valentine\u2019s day, you\u2019ll find clearance prices on chocolates<\/strong> and other specific Valentine\u2019s merchandise, including Steaks and Seafood.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0BUT if you are able to wait, you will find that the best prices for Fine Jewelry occur during the summer months.<\/em><\/p>\n

PRESIDENT\u2019S DAY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

President\u2019s Day weekend, as well as special days to honor Lincoln’s official Birthday on the 12th and Washington’s official Birthday on the 22nd, \u00a0always have great sales which include Furniture, Appliances and Winter Clearance Sales. \u00a0<\/strong>Because furniture stores are still working to get rid of specific older models, they may throw in free delivery and set up.\u00a0<\/em>You\u2019ll find the best deals on appliance closeouts. And you can often get big $$$ off savings if buying two or more appliances. \u00a0ASK for these benefits as well as free delivery and set up and removal of your old appliance, if those offers aren’t already advertised. \u00a0Try and wait for the best clearance deals for refrigerators until May.<\/em> If \u00a0you need to buy an expensive refrigerator now, you might ask for discounts on matching appliances.<\/p>\n

President\u2019s weekend \u00a0is also a big weekend for sales on mattresses.\u00a0<\/strong>Retail stores like Sears and Macy\u2019s are good sources. Mattress stores that only carry beds and mattresses might just have the best deals.
\n
\nNOTE: \u00a0In most cases you’ll find furniture and mattress on sale all month, with the best sales over the President’s Day weekend.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
