4 things to buy in March

Retail promotions are cyclical, which means you can find bargains on certain items at different times of the year. Here are four things you can find on sale in March.

  1. Frozen food

March is Frozen Food Month, and the National Frozen and Refrigerated Food Association has partnered with several well known frozen food makers to offer great deals. Dole and Green Giant are offering sale items, but this deal goes well beyond frozen broccoli. You can also find bargains on everything from waffles to frozen burritos. Eggo, Tyson Foods, Rosina, Jimmy Dean and Tai Pei are just a few of the many brands that will cut prices in the frozen food aisle this month.

  1. Exercise equipment

Sandwiched in between New Year’s Resolutions and bikini season, March is not a good month if you’re a treadmill salesman. Which is why this is the perfect time to buy exercise equipment, especially the kind people use indoors when it’s too cold to go outside. Same goes for ski and snowboarding equipment. Check out REI, which usually has a blowout winter season sale in March.

  1. Gardening supplies

Home improvement stores stock new gardening supplies in March, and offer great deals to help homeowners kick off the upcoming Spring season. You’ll find almost everything on sale in the garden section, from A-frames to zucchini seeds.

  1. Freestanding fireplaces and space heaters

Sears, Home Depot and other retailers slash prices on indoor heating appliances in March. Golden Vantage brand electronic fireplaces are on sale at Sears for as much as 65% off. Many models of Vornado space heaters are on sale at Amazon for 50% off or more.
