Best Items to Buy in January 2012

I have a post on the best season / times to buy items, as we all know sales are seasonal.   Here’s items you may want to stock up on in January:
Historically, Quaker has hot deals on cereal/all items. We see Pepsi/Tostitos go on sale mid-January (again, rebates abound for these). Other items of note this time of year are chili, side dishes, anything for hearty/warm meals.
