This year, the Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 11. If you’re looking to catch the game on a large screen, now is the ideal time to upgrade your TV, as many retailers often reduce prices on popular models. Sales on top brands such as Samsung, VIZIO, and Sony are already available at major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon.

2. Christmas Tree Decorations

It feels like just yesterday you were putting away your holiday decorations, right? You might want to grab an extra storage bin because many retailers are still offering significant discounts on ornaments, artificial Christmas trees, and more. Check out store favorites like Bed Bath & Beyond, Pottery Barn, JCPenney, and Yankee Candle for seasonal items such as themed throw pillows and candles that will be useful come December.

3. Bathing Suits

If you’re hunting for deals on bathing suits, February is a great time to shop thanks to Presidents Day sales, Valentine’s Day clearance, and other promotions. Don’t miss the chance to shop smart and save some cash!

Looking for a unique way to celebrate Love Your Pet Day? Treat your furry friends to new toys and tasty treats for the rest of winter. Head over to Chewy for fantastic options, including Friends-themed squeaky toys and orthopedic beds. If you want to spoil your pet even more, consider a custom portrait or bespoke items from Etsy. And don’t forget to check out adorable pajamas for your pup at Hanna Andersson.

If you’re considering buying fresh flowers this February, be cautious; red roses can be quite pricey due to demand. Instead, consider decorative faux plants from The Sill or artificial flowers from Target as cost-effective alternatives.

As for spring attire, it might be wise to hold off for now. Stores like Anthropologie and Free People are already showcasing their spring collections, meaning you’ll likely pay full price. It’s better to wait until summer apparel arrives in May for better bargains.
