Best New Year's Day Sales In Minnesota

Bargain hunters know the best deals tend to be seasonal. Certain items are available at lower prices this time of year. For example, New Year's Day is a good time buy the slower moving items that large box retailers could not sell during the holidays. Grocers offer certain produce that is only available this time of year. Home goods merchants tend to offer their best buys in January. But beware, shoppers are better served to wait until after the Super Bowl for large screen TVs and consumer electronics.

"We have the look and feel of a small town store in the big city shopping experience," says owner Mike Schroer. He explains that he does not have to buy pallets of each item, but instead controls quality of merchandise by selecting the best produce available at the time to fill his store. He will be finding the best values for his customer a day or two in advance of New Year's Day and making them available as specials and sale items. Another fine feature at BoB's is that his premium meats are not prepackaged. You ask for the cut you want from the butcher and always get the best.
