It’s that time of year again: Groundhog Day. On Monday, February 2, we’ll patiently wait to see if Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil spots his shadow, either signaling six more weeks of winter or an early spring. And while some of you may be chomping at the bit to touch grass in weather above 30 degrees, we also see you winter apologists, undoubtedly sat with a piping hot cup of tea and their favorite book. No matter what kind of homebody you are, we think these weather predictions can guide your next buy. For team extended winter, we’ve selected five cozy bedding discounts that leave enough budget for a few spring wardrobe pick ups. For the supporters of early spring, there’s plenty of outdoor furniture finds to peruse, especially since early Presidents’ Day sales are ripe with finds for every nook and cranny of your space. And while you don’t have to have any weather predilections to take advantage of these discounts, we like to think of it as sales shopping, the Phil way.
