What to buy in January
Because many retailers stocked up on inventory during the holiday season with global supply chain issues in mind, Sucharita Kodali, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, a global market research company, said there may be a lot of merchandise still en route to the U.S., which she predicted will lead to markdowns. Kodali recommended watching your inbox for alerts about promotions throughout January. Shoppers can also expect to find discounts on holiday leftovers, like decorations, gift wrap and beauty gift sets that have regular products packaged in “sparkles galore” for the holidays.
Additionally, shoppers looking to commit to New Year’s resolutions like working out more in 2022 should be in luck when it comes to finding sales this month on items they will need. Though McGrath said “January is historically a great time to sign up for gym or studio memberships,” Kodali also mentioned that exercise equipment seems to be in oversupply at retailers, which will most likely result in deals on items. McGrath said shoppers can expect to find up to hundreds of dollars off cardio equipment and deals from stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is known to have end of year clearance sales at the beginning of the new year.
January is also known for its white sales on linens. The annual shopping event includes discounts on bedding, towels, curtains and blankets. “While you might not be expecting a surge of house guests anytime soon, better to prepare now for the future while the savings are strong,” McGrath said.

What to skip in January
Though linens and other bedding essentials are on sale this month, McGrath advised shoppers to skip over new mattresses — specifically, expect to see some enticing offers during the three-day Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. But you can find better deals on mattresses in 2022 during other shopping events, like Presidents Day, Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Additionally, shoppers should expect to find deals on major appliances like refrigerators, washers and dryers during those same holiday weekends later in the year.
McGrath also advised staying away from jewelry and gaming consoles this month. Though there will be post-holiday sales on jewelry, McGrath said the best deals will come after Valentine’s Day, when jewelers try to offload unpurchased Valentine’s Day stock. If shoppers are looking to get their hands on gaming consoles that were out of stock during the holidays, McGrath advised waiting a little bit longer. As retailers like Walmart, GameStop, and Amazon increase their inventories as the year goes on, shoppers may find the console they want at the right price.
