The biggest savings to be had, according to FatWallet.com, are in the following categories:

Fitness: Resolutions for better fitness collide with the best time of year to save money on fitness equipment, workout gear and fitness wear and sports apparel. January shoppers can find savings of 25-50 percent off these items at stores like Sears, Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods. It's also a good month to stock up on health supplements, vitamins and dietary foods, as sales on these items are abundant the entire month.

Tax Software: The majority of tax software retailers, including H&R Block and TurboTax, offer some of their best discounts of the year for early filers, including up to 50 percent off on desktop and online tax software deals for both personal and small business tax.

TVs: Following a long month of holiday TV bargains, the second half of January offers the best selection of top-end HDTV deals leading up to the Super Bowl. Shoppers can expect average savings to exceed $200 on 40-inch and larger 4k TVs and last year's 50- to 60-inch 1080p TV models.

White Sales: Unlike holiday deals on lower quality linens, traditional January White Sales bring big discounts up to 50 percent off quality sheets, towels, window treatments and other textile items for the home from big-box stores that offer additional savings with cash back.

Winter Apparel and Gear: Warm weather has slowed retail sales for cold weather apparel, so January shoppers will see an extra boost in discounting of winter coats, boots, hats, gloves and under garments. Winter sporting good deals will offer shoppers up to 60 percent off from top stores with top name-brands like Under Armour, North Face and Timberland throughout January.
