I love buying things when they are a really great deal and stocking up. You can save a lot of money just buying things at certain times. I try to only buy in season produce to save money. So what are the best things to buy in February?
Seasonal Produce
Arugula, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Celery, Clementines, Lemons, Oranges, Onions, Tangerines, and Turnips. With Valentines Day this month we will probably see some good deals on strawberries, too.
Foods
There will be some great deals on chocolate this month. Plus, later in the month you will find clearance deals on chocolate and candy from Valentine's Day. February is canned food month, so if you buy canned fruits and veggies stock up. It's also hot breakfast month which means deals on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal and other hot breakfast items.
Other Items
There will be all kinds of deals on tax software. February also has great deals on KY products and condoms, just in case taxes get you in the mood. 😉 With Presidents Day we will see some good deals on furniture, too. Valentine's Day cards and gift will go on clearance later in the month. When my son was younger we would always buy cards for the next year after Valentine's Day. I could do goody bags for the whole class for under $10.
What do you stock up in February?

Stopping with a visit from Fellowship Fridays! I am really excited about the clearance chocolate after Valentines Day.... perhaps that's the reason for the good deals on the products for intimacy?
I never have any clue when produce is in season, so I appreciate this list! Now, I know what to buy 🙂

Hi there from Merry Monday! Good tips on the produce. The clementines right now are deliciously sweet! Also, I agree that it is a good idea to buy Valentine's for next year at the end of the month. As a teacher, I try to stock up on these things when everything is marked down!

Well, I know we're stocking up on candy on the day after Valentine's Day! 🙂 Other than that, I'm not sure!
Julie says
Love all those candy deals!

I will refrain from the clearanced chocolate, I will refrain from the clearanced chocolate. Maybe if I say it enough times I'll actually do it? Lol. This is a great list, and I'm excited to find some good deals on furniture. Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!

Great list, and the KY and condoms being on sale this month just made me giggle.
Found this on Merry Monday.

What a great resource this is! The produce list is very helpful and I'm going to be planning my next grocery shopping trip around your suggestions for in season produce (LOVE Bok Choy!). Thanks so much for sharing.

Great list! I'm usually a big fan of eating seasonally, but lately, our grocery store has been practically giving apples away, so we've been drying a bunch for the kid's snacks later on. 🙂
Thanks for sharing at Waste Not Want Wednesday!
Julie says
We love dried apples. Great idea!
Katie says
What a great resource! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be looking out for this season's produce. How do you normally prepare Bok Choy?
Julie says
I love to chop it up and add it to our stir fry. You can grill it with olive oil, too. I think it's good either way, but the hubs and kiddo will only eat it in a stir fry. 🙂

Thank you so much for this list! I love to know what to anticipate for on sale. It helps with my coupon clipping!
