January is a great time to head to the stores because there are many products that will be at their lowest price of the season during this month. The key is, knowing exactly what those products are so you can plan your shopping strategy!
January sales can save you a substantial amount of money on items you regularly use and I’ve compiled a list of 25 things to buy in January so you can know exactly what to keep your eyes peeled for.
Things to buy in January
Before we begin, you should know that January is National Oatmeal Month, and other product sales focus on weight loss, organization, Super Bowl, and holiday clearance items. Chances are if an item falls into one of these categories, it will be at its lowest price of the year!

This is a great list, I will be on the look out for a few of the things.
Thanks for this very helpful list! So many great items to check into buying!!
I’m usually so burnt out on buying stuff from Christmas that I don’t even want to go inside of a store until March, but maybe I should reconsider. I’m sure there are some great prices now and I could definitely use some of these items.

This is a really great list. Some of those things I never thought about like the cologne gift sets and coffee sets. I get so caught up in stocking up on holiday decor and supplies that I forget those things. I try to stock up on wrapping paper and supplies this time of year so I’m set for next year.

Normally I hit the dollar stores and stock up on gift wrap,tape and tags because they are practically giving them away after Christmas. I would much rather pay 1/4 of the original price then the full amount.

I love the idea to buy your New Years party supplies the year before. Might have to do that myself…unbranded with the current year of course. I also like buying organizational stuff…it always a goal.

January is a great month for shopping – you’re so right! But, I had NO idea it was also National Oatmeal Month and there are actually a number of weight-loss and health-related products that also go on sale. I’ll have to keep a better eye out! Thanks for the tips!
