#ad 2022, let’s hope it brings good health, peace, and happiness to all!

Holiday leftovers like Christmas cards, wrapping, bows, and paper goods should be at least half off if you can find them. 2021 was a odd year with delivery problems and pandemics. If you are lucky enough to find solid color goods, they can be used all year long; regular holiday themes can be saved for next year.

January White Sales will be popping up online and in big-box stores. Replacing worn out towels and sheets now will save you a lot.

With the Super Bowl right around the corner, you’ll start to see discounts on HDTVs and more so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading or buying a new system, now would be the time.

No one knows how the COVID strains will affect us. Normally, January means fitness equipment and gym memberships will lower  because many of us are anxious to get back into shape due to the over-indulgence during the holidays. If you feel secure going to a gym, shop around to look for deals. There may be 2 for 1 deals too. Don’t forget to check for online fitness classes that can be taken safely at home and may have equally desirable savings.

Sporting goods for those cold outdoor activities will start to go on sale as everyone’s thoughts turn to Spring. There is still plenty of cold weather ahead so you’ll most likely be able to use your purchase soon. The worst that can happen is you’ll be ready for next year!

National parks will have FREE admission on Martin Luther King Day 1-17-22. I’ve included a link for all of the entrance-free dates for 2022.

January is a good time to shop for furniture. Many furniture companies introduce new items and lines in February so stores will try to make room by reducing their inventory.

Costume jewelry will be reduced up to 75% off because the glitz of the holidays is over. Look for bargains.

In the supermarket it’s National Oatmeal Month. Look for Quaker products, as well as other brands to go on sale. Oatmeal has a long shelf life so feel free to stock up. Use your coupons in combination with sales on diet food, protein shakes, soda, frozen finger foods (for Super Bowl), left over Christmas chocolate, and cold and flu medications. Seasonal produce such as oranges, pears, grapefruit, tangerines, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, collards, kale, kiwi, avocado, cabbage, and spinach will all be at lower prices.  There will probably be lots of coupons for these items (not the produce!) in the upcoming Sunday newspapers. Plus, check Coupons.com for additional selections.

Peace and good health is my wish to all for 2022! Cheers!
