After Christmas most of us are a little bit lighter in the wallet. But January is the perfect time to buy certain things that go on sale this time of year!

Here are 5 things to buy after Christmas:

1 . Fitness Equipment & Gym Memberships

Now is the time to get a new treadmill, elliptical machine or weight bench. But beyond that – it’s a great time to take advantage of deals on gym memberships, meal planning services, and

2 . Sheets & Towels

Lots of stores hold their white sales in January. Check places like Target, Walmart or Kohl’s for special sales, codes or coupons this time of year.

At the time of this posting, Target is offering a $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 on bedding, and Kohl’s is offering an extra 20% OFF bedding, bath and home items with code REFRESH20.

3 . Winter Coats & Boots

Since quality winter coats and boots are often high-ticket items, this is worth budgeting in for this time of the year. January is a great time to get cold weather gear for up to 75% OFF.

If you’re buying for kids – you’ll probably be safe buying the next size up to handle any growth spurts.

In addition – slippers, fuzzy socks and robes will be on sale this time of year as well. And fuzzy socks make great stocking stuffers to put aside for next Christmas!

4 . Toys & Small Gifty Items

Toys often go on clearance right after Christmas while stores make room for new stock. It’s a great time to grab a few items for upcoming birthdays or (if you’re an excellent planner) next Christmas. Even if you’re only finding more generic toys – think about birthdays your kids will be invited to over the year, and buy a few items to keep around for those!

Other gifty items to pick up this time of year include gift sets – check for marked down items like:

Nail Polish
Makeup
Bodywash/Cologne/Aftershave
Razors/Shave Cream

5 . Televisions

If you didn’t buy the tv of your dreams on Black Friday – you may be able to get a very similar deal right now! Television sales get real in January, when stores are trying to make room for the newest models for the new year.
