Best things to buy in January

exercise-equipment-dubaiThe first month of the year is traditionally associated with White Sales.

But there are better bargains to be had than discounts on sheets and towels, says DealNews, a tracker of online retail.

January is the best month to flex your buying muscle for fitness equipment. That’s due, in part, to the boomlet of consumers who have vowed to exercise more in 2016. Gyms and fitness centers also are offering healthy savings on memberships. (And if your local gym isn’t advertising a deal, don’t sweat that detail. Be proactive and ask for a discount.)

Other opportunities to save include:

  • Jewelry and chocolates, the goodies most often associated with Valentine’s Day. After Feb. 1, the price of romance takes a seasonal spike.
  • Tax software. Early filers get their refunds sooner. They also get the best deals on software. (Make sure your package includes whatever you will need to file your state tax return.)
  • Holiday decorations. Christmas is so over and Santa’s helpers at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Target and Pier 1 are marking down ornaments and other glittery goods up to 70 percent.

It’s always a treat to see jewelry up close and personal.

It’s also a pleasure to meet the creative spirits who came up with the ultimate accessories.

Their formula for success blends jewelry pieces in gold, silver and precious stones with strong lines and feminine wiles, staples women can enjoy year in and year out, day and night. Collections range from Mayan-inspired long, hoop silver earrings ($195) to a $6,200 necklace embellished with black pave diamonds from the Deco After Dark line.

Knit Wit, a Philly original for half a century, operates stores on Chestnut Street in the city and Margate, down the Jersey Shore, as well as the Bryn Mawr location at 905 W. Lancaster Ave., where the trunk show will take place. Hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on both days.
