January Savings!

Almost halfway through January!!!!Insert preview for 1/22/12 Over 14 inserts and a News America and Valassis coupon book.

There are still savings to be had in January check out below:

DECEMBER/JANUARY: TVs_The first two weeks of December are the best time to buy brand-name and high-end HDTVs, while no-name HDTVs are strongly discounted from Black Friday through early January, says Jeff Contray, managing editor for dealnnews.com. However, the last weeks of January leading up to the Super Bowl are typically bad times to buy HDTVs. If you hold out until February (or early spring), you'll see a dip in prices on older models as retailers try to make room for new models.

JANUARY: Linens_It may be cold outside, but you can make the indoors warm and comfy -- and save money in the process -- by shopping department stores' "white sales" in January. It's not uncommon to find discounts of 10% to 60% on sheets, blankets, towels and more (and not just in white).

JANUARY: Gift Wrap_With prices marked down as much as 75%, post-holiday sales make a great time to stock up on gift wrap, ribbon and tags. Look for neutral patterns that you can use year-round to make the most of this deal. You also can find deep discounts (up to 90%) on holiday decorations and artificial Christmas trees.

JANUARY: Carpet and Floor Coverings_Few people buy carpet in January, so that's the time to snag a discount as dealers try to drum up business, says Alan Fletcher, author of The Complete Carpet Buying Guide. Make your purchase by February 15th, though. As people start receiving their tax refunds, business -- and prices -- pick up again.

JANUARY: Furniture_New furniture hits showrooms in February, according to the American Home Furnishing Alliance. That means you can save 10% to 50% in January as retailers make room for the new inventory. (See summer for another good time to buy.)

JANUARY/FEBRUARY: Digital cameras_With the Consumer Electronics Show and Photo Marketing Association convention at this time of year, new camera models start arriving at retailers. That means deep discounts on last year's perfectly good merchandise.

ALL WINTER LONG: Real estate_Most people don't shop for houses in the winter. But lower demand equals lower prices. You'd usually sacrifice selection by house-hunting in winter, but with the current lagging market -- and large number of foreclosures - bargain hunters should have plenty to choose from. www.kiplinger.com
