January

  • January is one of the best times to buy plastic storage containers. They are usually on sale because “getting organized” is a popular New Year’s Resolution.
  • Marked downed holiday candy is great for baking and can be used in place of chocolate chips.
  • January is the time for white sales. Good buys can be found on towels, linens, sheets and men’s shirts.
  • In the grocery store, meats like turkey and ham as well as baking products are usually reduced.
  • Toys are marked down considerably. Buy some for birthday parties to have in your gift box.
  • January is a good time to buy a used car.
  • Stock up on wrapping paper. If you buy a solid color you can use it for birthdays as well as Christmas.
  • A good way to store wrapping paper is to put it into an empty “hang-up bag”. (The kind used for suits.)
  • www.flylady.net is a great site to help you get organized.
