We’ve got a whole load of savvy shopping tips and a rundown of the best sales out there.

Boxing Day sees the start of the very festive January sales. The shopping ninjas among you will have saved up for the January sales or may have been given some cash as a gift to “get yourself something nice”.

Sales are a great opportunity to revamp your wardrobe or invest in some much-needed household gadgets.

We’ve developed some tips and tricks to help you make the most of the sales this January. If you reckon, you’re already a savvy enough shopper, you might want to head straight down to our list of this year’s best January sales at the foot of the page.

Here are the best ways to find great deals in the Boxing Day and January sales:

Make a shopping list

The first step to saving money in the January sales is making a shopping list – it’s super important to know what you want to buy before you go shopping. Make a mental note of what you got for Christmas and then decide whether you need anything else. But if you still need a few things (or want), you might fancy a little treat or two.

Set a budget

This tip is probably the most important! If you want to save money when shopping in the sales, make sure you set a budget and stick to it.

Don’t rush into making purchases

You have time on your side. Most sales last until the end of January and some items on sale may not even go back up in price afterwards. If your bank account is feeling a little bruised after the Christmas crunch, give it a few weeks until prices have been further reduced. In fact, the longer you wait, the greater your chances will be of bagging a bargain. Shops generally slash prices towards the end of the sales.

Buy out-of-season sale items

If you consider yourself a bit of a fashionista, you might already have an idea about the next trend or prefer to do your own thing and ignore trends altogether. Plus, think ahead to summer! The sales are a great time to gear up for the hotter months of the year, so if you see something that takes your fancy slightly out of season, don’t let that put you off.
