An easy way to save more money is by stocking up on foods and items when the prices are at their lowest. You can save over 50% off of items just based off of what time of year you buy them. Fruit & Veggies have their own seasons and are way cheaper when they are in season. By purchasing at the right time you can save your family $100’s of dollars per year.
February doesn’t have a lot of good deals on fruits and vegetables, but we will still see some great deals this month. Check out the top 5 things to buy in February.
Canned Foods- It’s national canned foods month, so there will be plenty of fantastic sales on canned foods. You can stock up on canned vegetables, fruits and soups. I love having canned soup on hand for the nights I don’t really feel like cooking.
Valentine’s Day Stuff-With Valentine’s Day falling halfway through February we will see some awesome clearance deals toward the end of the month. I love buying next years Valentine’s on clearance. Pick out some clearance stuff and save it back for 2017.
Breakfast Foods-It’s also national breakfast foods month. So there will be lots of deals on frozen waffles, pancakes and breakfast sandwiches. We should see lots of cereal deals in February, too. I love to stock up on cereal this time of year. We don’t usually have cereal for breakfast, but it makes a good inexpensive snack for the summer.
Chocolate-With Valentine’s Day in February we will see lots of great deals on chocolate. Stock up on some sale and clearance chocolates for all year long.
Furniture- February is a good time to buy furniture. We will see some President’s and Tax Sales on furniture and it’s definitely a good time to buy. If you have held out for that new couch or bed, February is the month to buy it.
Saving money doesn’t always have to take a lot of time. Just by stocking up on a few extras when they are at their lowest can save you $100’s. What are your favorite things to buy in February?

I love snagging discounted valentines and candy for next year. I always seem to forget about having the kids make theirs until the last minute (um, the night before!), so it’s really handy to have them stashed away in the house already. 🙂

While I’ve long known that February is a great month for buying chocolate, I didn’t know about canned food month or breakfast food month. Thanks for sharing!
Lola says
I had no idea it was canned foods month in Feb! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at canning, so maybe I’ll take the opportunity to both stock up at the store and DIY my own… that way if I fail I’ll still have some on hand 😉
Julie says
Great idea!

Girl, you know I’m heading to the store to stock up on clearance Valentine’s Day candy! And then spending the rest of the year exercising those pounds off. Haha!
Julie says
I know! I don’t need to hide candy from my son, I need it hidden from me. 😉

I didn’t know about the canned goods. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out now. I like to stock up on the things we always use. Thanks!
