3.) DECEMBER/JANUARY: Weddings
From dresses to reception halls, you’ll save a bundle with a winter wedding, according to Denise and Alan Fields, authors of Bridal Bargains.
4.) JANUARY/FEBRUARY: TVs
New TV models arrive in the spring, making January and February prime time to save a few hundred dollars on the outgoing model year, according to Consumer Reports.
5.) JANUARY: Linens

6.) JANUARY: Gift wrap
With prices marked down as much as 75%, post-holiday sales make a great time to stock up on gift wrap, ribbon and tags. Look for neutral patterns that you can use year-round to make the most of this deal.

New furniture hits showrooms in February, according to the American Home Furnishing Alliance. That means you can save 10% to 50% in January as retailers make room for the new inventory.
9.) JANUARY/FEBRUARY:
Digital cameras10.) ALL WINTER LONG: Real estate
Most people don’t shop for houses in the winter. But lower demand equals lower prices.
