February may be brief, but it offers plenty to celebrate. From the Super Bowl to Presidents Day and Love Your Pet Day, this month has a lot to cheer about, even if the cold isn’t your preferred weather.
With so many holidays on the calendar, February is also a fantastic time for shopping, as you can find great deals on everything from electronics to clothing. Plus, this year, thanks to it being a leap year, you get an extra day to hunt for bargains. If saving money is as appealing as celebrating Valentine’s Day, check out our curated list of what to buy (and what to skip) this February.
Shopping Highlights for February
1. Televisions

This year, the Super Bowl takes place on Sunday, February 11. If you’re planning to enjoy the game on a large screen, now is the perfect time to shop for a new TV. Many retailers offer significant discounts on popular models as the event approaches. Brands like Samsung, VIZIO, and Sony are already seeing price cuts at stores like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon.
2. Holiday Decorations

You may have just stored away your holiday decorations, but now is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of discounts on ornaments, artificial Christmas trees, and more. Retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Pottery Barn, JCPenney, and Yankee Candle often have markdowns on seasonal items, including candles and themed decor that you’ll want to use again next December.
