Club Stores

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s the importance of planning ahead and for the unprecedented. This means supplying your household with crucial items like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies and other essentials to ensure you are in decent supply. 2020 brought shoppers their fair share of inventory issues, and January brings many opportunities for shoppers to kick the year off right and save on memberships at stores like Costco and Sam’s Club. These stores are notorious for savings on pretty much everything, especially for families buying in bulk. Right now, shoppers can find new member deals and incentives, such as Sam’s Club,which is offering $45 off your first in-store purchasewith a new membership. Fitness Gear

There is no better time to revamp your workout and wellness routine than with your New Year’s resolutions. This month is historically a great time to sign up for gym or studio memberships, but with social distancing restrictions, many chains have either closed the doors or limited capacity. There are still ways to get a great workout from your house with at-home gym equipment, or a great virtual subscription to your favorite studio or classes. Those looking to upgrade their equipment can find up to hundreds of dollars off cardio equipment and other deals from Dick’s Sporting Goods end of year clearance sale. For those who prefer a teacher and class setting, head to Obe Fitness and get 30% off your first month. Linens

The annual “white sales” have always been a popular seasonal staple that comes with the start of a new year. While you might not be expecting a surge of house guests anytime soon, better to prepare now for the future while the savings are strong. The annual shopping event has evolved over time and includes discounts on linens of all kinds, such as bedding, sheets, towels, curtains and blankets. For those looking to freshen up their bed and bathrooms, head over to Bed Bath & Beyond, which is offering 20% off any item with text sign-up. Travel

The days of travel may seem like a distant memory, and even though travel restrictions are still present for some parts of the world, now is a great time to book tickets for future travel plans. If you have events or plans to look forward to within the next few months, book them now while the savings are steep. Especially because many airlines have adjusted their change and cancellation policies to be more lenient during these unpredictable times. Shoppers can save now on future vacations and get up to 50% off bookings from Hotels.com right now. Skincare

Speaking of wellness, there is no better time to upgrade and revamp beauty and skincare regimens. As we all hunkered down at home in our loungewear, 2020 was the year of learning the importance of self-care. And if we can take anything with us from last year, it’s our healthy and glowing complexions. January is a great time to try new skincare or that cosmetics line you’ve been eyeing as retailers use this time to incentivize shoppers to reach their maximum beauty potential. Online retailers like Vanity Planet are kicking off the year with 50% off savings sitewide.
