Best January sales 2024 — save on Apple Watch, OLED TVs and more

Even though the next major retail holiday is a few weeks away, you can seize the opportunity now to purchase that new laptop that was absent from your Christmas gifts. Current January sales are offering deals on a variety of items from 4K TVs and small appliances to Apple tech gear. Having monitored bargains for over 16 years, I've realized that each new year begins with a wave of January sales meant to clear out stock leftover from the holiday season. These sales often include popular items like iPads, headphones, and coffee machines as well as fitness trackers and winter clothing.

These January sales present an excellent chance to grab those desired gifts at reduced prices. It's also a great time to put your holiday gift cards to use. While there are many attractive sales available this week, keep in mind that all-time low prices will be rare. That being said, I’ll be comparing all the January sales to the lowest prices we saw last year and pointing out those deals that I think are worth your while.

Amazon currently has a Hydro Flask sale, with prices starting from $34 on selected 32oz and 40oz stainless steel bottles, ranging in a variety of colors from oat to indigo. Hydro Flask is also offering a comparable sale, with prices even lower on their smaller tumblers.

The new MacBook Air 15" is discounted at Best Buy, down to $1,049 from $1,299. This top-tier MacBook Air, packing a big 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display, Apple's M2 chip with a 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and other advanced features, performed excellently in our review.

Nectar's value mattress, which we rated highly in our review, is currently 40% off in Nectar's most recent sale. The twin mattress is available for $359, down from $599, or the queen size for $659, down from $1,099.

At Walmart, you can find deals starting at $9 on selected men's, women's, and children's Crocs footwear as part of their January sales event, offering up to 50% off select styles. In some instances, Walmart's sale prices beat Crocs.com's direct sale, although the styles on sale may vary.

Other items are also on sale, including multiple products from Adidas, yoga and pilates gear from Target, Bodylastics Resistance Bands, Flybird 3 in 1 Workout Bench, Bowflex SelectTech 840 kettlebell, Todo Under Desk Treadmill, a variety of discounted smart TVs available from Best Buy, products from Siena, Brooklinen, DreamCloud, and Helix, Beats Flex Wireless Earbuds, Google Pixel Buds Pro and more.

In conclusion, despite the major retail holiday being a few weeks away, there are many incredible deals available right now, making January an ideal time to snag those items you've been longing for.
