Friday, January 1, 2027

Ring it in for less, then shop the January clearance. Here's what's worth buying, when to buy it, and what it really sells for.

What to buy, and when

What	Best time to buy	Tip
Glassware and party serving	Early December	Hosting sets sell out in the last week of December; buy before the Christmas rush.
Holiday decor and gift wrap	December 26 onward	After-Christmas clearance is the cheapest time of year for next year's decorations.
Coins and bullion	Any time	Bullion follows the metal price, so compare the premium over spot, not the sticker price.

Set a price watch on any of these and we'll email you when it drops to your number.
