Items to Stockpile by the End of This Month (February)

American Heart Awareness: February nationally is the month for heart awareness. As such, look for local free blood pressure and heart health screenings, as well as free or discounted health-focused apps.

National Canned Food Month: Pick up extra low priced canned fruit, vegetables, pie fillings, soups, meats (like tuna, chicken and salmon) and other canned stockpile items.

National Hot Breakfast Month: Find great deals on oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, frozen waffles, syrup, waffle and pancake mix, hash browns, bacon, sausage and other hot breakfast staples.

National Frozen Yogurt Day: On February 6, nearly every frozen yogurt manufacturer and eatery in the country will be celebrating this day with discounts and freebies (yum!).

Super Bowl Sunday: Soda, chips, dips, cheese, sandwich items, crackers, snacks, wings, fruit and veggie trays, and all the resolution-breaking treats you love will be heavily promoted!

Valentine’s Day: Look for fabulous deals on boxed and bar chocolate, lubricants (like KY jelly), perfume, cards, stuffed animals, gift sets, wine and sparkling cider, flower arrangements, candles, services (musical greeting cards, flower delivery, dinner in) and all things conducive to romance.

Seasonal Produce: Get great deals on artichoke, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, collards, grapefruit, kale, oranges, parsnips, pears, potatoes and turnips.

Gaming gear: Video game consoles and video games are often price-reduced in February, since new models traditionally arrive in stores by early summer.

Winter apparel: Winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, wool socks and boots—all must go before spring’s fashions arrive. The longer you wait, the lower the price will be for leftover winter apparel.

Motorcycles: Just as January is the month for bicycles, so is February the month for the motorcycle. It’s too early to ride in many parts of the country (on account of snow) but it’s a great month to shop for a new ride!

Formal dresses: If your daughter plans to attend prom in May, you might be able to snap up the perfect dress, shoes and accessories as early as February.
