What to Buy in February
With Presidents Day sales this month, you may be wondering what to buy in February.
I can help.
Iโve scoured news sites and advertisements to pull together the best things to buy this month.
Iโm talking about items that are likely at their best prices all year.

Iโve already covered some great deals in February in the past.
That is, if you want to shop after Valentineโs Day sales, this is a great time to stock up on anything heart-shaped or chocolate.
Speaking of chocolate, here are Americaโs favorite Valentineโs Day candy.
So mark February 15th as the day to hit the stores.
However, there are a number of other items that are traditionally marked down for February sales.ย
Iโll go through them one at a time.
February mattress sales
Believe it or not, Presidentsโ Day, a legit federal holiday, is traditionally when youโll find great prices on mattresses.
This comes on the heels of those โwhiteโ sales in January.
So, you can stock up on bedding in January and then take advantage of mattress sales in February to buy a new bed.
Here are some deals Iโve found for February 2023.
Raymour & Flanigan mattress sales
With this sale, which runs February 9-20, 2023, you can save on the following:
- Up to $600 on Stearns & Foster Adjustable sets
- As much as $400 on Beautyrest Black and Purple mattresses
- Up to $1,000 on Aireloom mattress sets
Also, you can and score free next-day mattress delivery on purchases of $500 and more.
In addition, you can save up to 30% on the Raymour & Flanigan website on living room, dining and bedroom furniture.
The latter savings would be perfect if youโre buying a new mattress, right?
Savings on mattress toppers
Sleepyhead has two coupon codes for its mattress toppers. They are:
- SLEEPPARTNER15 โ 15% off
- SLEEPVIBES60 โ $60 off
Look for appliance sales
There are three holiday weekends throughout the years when stores tend to offer deals on appliances. They are:
- Memorial Day
- Labor Day
- Presidents Day
Presidents Day sales
With Presidentโs Day right around the corner, Iโve outlined some appliance deals you can find this year.
Keep in mind Iโm talking about bigger appliances, like stoves and refrigerators, as well as countertop appliances.
KitchenAid: Through 2/18, get up to $70 off select KitchenAid standing mixers.
Macyโs: Through 2/14, take 40% off select small appliances.
What to buy during February sales tax holidays
We normally associated state sales tax holidays with back to school shopping.ย
However, two states have tax-free shopping days in February.
They are:
- Alabama
- Maryland
Here are the dates for each states sales tax holiday in February 2023.
Alabama February Sales Tax Holiday
This sales tax free weekend in Alabama happens on the last full weekend in February. In 2023 thatโs Friday, February 24 to Sunday, February 26.
Itโs called the Severe Weather Preparedness tax holiday. Thatโs when the state offers this incentive for residents to stock up on hurricane preparedness products.
Now would be a great time for Alabama residents to shop for things like generators, batteries, flashlights and the like.
Maryland February Sales Tax Holiday
Marylandโs February sales tax holiday focuses on energy-saving purchases. So, things like Energy Star products.
It occurs from 12:01 a.m. on the Saturday immediately preceding the third Monday in February until 11:59 p.m. on the third Monday of February.
Thatโs a complicated way of saying that in 2023, this February sales tax holiday is February 18-20, 2023.
Check out savings on Energy Star items at Amazon.
Costco February sales
I love shopping at Costco. And February is a great time to see what Costco has deals on.
For example, with Super Bowl Sunday coming up, you should find sales on televisions.
Also, expect markdowns on all of the fixings for a Super Bowl party.
In addition, I recently learned that because we eat so much guacamole while watching the big game, youโll find great prices on avocados this month. Who knew?

Not yet a Costco member? Check out the membership deal below.
Costco Membership Deal via Groupon
The best deal on a Costco Membership right now is through Groupon. When you sign up, youโll get your one-year membership plus a $40 Costco Digital Shop Card for free.
In case you didnโt know, the Costco Shop Card is the storeโs gift card. You can use it in store or online.
This offer is for new Costco memberships only or for former Costco members whose membership expired more than 18 months ago. So, if youโve moved, there wasnโt a Costco nearby and you let your membership lapse for more than 18 months, youโre good to go to sign up for this deal again!
Also, you can avoid the lines at your Costco location by signing up for this Groupon Costco deal. This was the crowd at the new Costco in Maine near where I live. Yikes!

Again, this a Groupon-only deal for a Costco membership.
Other warehouse club memberships
Perhaps you prefer to shop at another warehouse club because it is more convenient to where you live than Costco is. Good news: Both BJs and Samโs Club have Groupon deals right now for memberships. Plus, both tend to have gas stations where members can get a cheaper price when filling up the gas tank.
