It's January and although everyone may be a bit skint, shopping in the sales is something most people love. Some get money over Christmas and others may be eager to begin their Christmas shopping for 2014. Whatever it is, grab yourself a bargain in the sales. Keep an eye out for these items, which we predict will get rid of your post Crimbo blues.
1. A Holiday
Many websites and travel companies will be offering money off for your holiday next year. Examples include Virgin Holidays "Tanuary Sale" and book early deals with companies like Thomas Cook and Travel Supermarket. Grab a bargain and cheer yourself up!
2. A Good Savings Account
Finding a savings account with a decent interest rate on your money can be difficult. The new year is the perfect time to start saving, with many people going out less and feeling the pinch after the new year, many places will be offering a little bit of a better rate than usual if you open a savings account with them. One example is Tesco who will allow you to open a savings account with just £1 at a rate of 1.50%.
3. Pub and Clubs
With many opting into Dry January, pubs and clubs and doing all that they can to create custom in the next couple of months. Look out for drinks offers (many will be offering BOGOFFS on cocktails) or free entry.
4. Restaurants
January is a great time for going out to eat. With many jumping on the healthy bandwagon or simply saving the pennies so not going out to eat, many restaurants are offering big savings. An example is GUSTO, who are offering 50% off food or Revolution who are doing the same. Some will ask for a refundable deposit per head, to ensure they get their tables filled.
5. Hotels
Hotel chains often do winter deals, especially mid-week bargains. Premier Inn recently offered January deals for rooms in England for just £25 a night. Sign up for email updates to make sure you don't miss out.
