- Cellphones: Valentine’s Day may seem like a strange time for cellphone sales, but you can often find buy-one-get-one-free sales in the “theme” of the holiday.
- Televisions and home theatre Systems: February is a great time to find TV’s and home theatre systems, as you can usually find a good deal on older models before they come out later in the spring.
