What to Buy in February
It is important to remember that you should use seasonal sales to stock up on items that you need and know you will use. When stocking up on food, check the expiration date to ensure you can consume it before it expires.
Also, keep a list of items you need, as well as a list of clothing sizes in your purse or in notes on your phone. Then when you see a great sale on winter clothing, you will not have to rack your brain trying to remember who needs what and what size do they wear now?
