As you consider what to buy in February, remember that winter is halfway over and retailers want to clear out seasonal merchandise. Here are a few deals you can find this month:

  • Retailers are advertising cheap LCD TVs and home theaters on the heels of Super Bowl Sunday and January's Consumer Electronics Show. If your budget allows, GPS systems, digital cameras, and audio equipment also are good items to buy in February.
  • New video games are usually released in early winter, just in time for holiday gift-giving. If you convinced your kids to wait the newest and hottest video game titles are now on sale.
  • On the off chance that you're yearning for a yacht, the winter off-season and mid-winter boat shows make February the right month to snatch up a boat. Dealers may offer discounts and deals to entice buyers, so be ready to bargain.
  • Valentine's Day means jewelry, perfume, and flowers are in high demand all month, so don't expect any February deals. But if you hold out, sales will likely pop up once Valentine's Day is passed and demand plummets.
