These Are the Best Things to Buy in February

ROMANTIC GIFTS

Jewelry, perfume, and flowers are in high demand ahead of Valentine’s Day, so don’t expect any deals before Feb. 14. For shoppers who hold out, sales likely will pop up once the holiday has passed and demand plummets.

 

CHOCOLATE

Chocoholics can satisfy their cravings on the cheap after Valentine’s Day. Look for discounts on high-end chocolates that don’t go on sale often. Shoppers can also raid the candy aisle to find enticing deals on mid-range Valentine’s Day packages as retailers try to sell off the holiday stash. And don’t be afraid to stock up — chocolate lasts for several months when stored in a cool, dry spot.
