Years ago, my mom had an article she cut out from somewhere showing what items go on sale during certain months. This is in the U.S. For example, in January, bedding usually goes on sale. In February, kitchen items go on sale. In March, garden items go on sale. And on and on for different types of products in each month. I don't know if bedding actually goes on sale in January.
This one is pretty handy from 2019. and has been close to accurate . It gives the 12 months and selections. www.livingrichlyonabudget.com/
I love to buy 'off-season' as expensive items likes coats, flannel (clothes, sheets), comforters never really go 'out-of-style' so to speak so I just start looking looking for sales when the stores start selling the next season items.

Does anyone have a document that lists specific items and when they occur in the sales cycle?
By Joyce M.
Do a web search. I have seen sites that tell in general what goes on sale when like January has linens and Aug/Sept has computers. If you mean like grocery items I would recommend you keep a database or save grocery circulars for a few months.
I used to have a list showing what months various things were on sale. You know, like White Sales, outerwear sales, even furniture and appliances. Do you happen to have such a helpful list? Thanks.
Here's a list I found somewhere. I didn't keep the source, probably the "Frugal" something newsletter.
Hope this helps.
