We won’t know until January 2023 exactly what deals will be available, but we can predict what some of the discounts could be, according to what we saw last year, and the good news is that many retailers have already started discounting items too.
Keep reading to find out exactly when the January sales start, what deals you can expect and what offers are already live.
When do the 2023 January sales start?
As the name suggests, the January sales do indeed start in the first month of the new year, specifically on the first day of that first month. So, this year, the sales will begin on Sunday 1 January.
Unlike Black Friday or other seasonal sales, brands and retailers do tend to abide by this date, however, as the Boxing Day sales precede this it is typical that there is a constant sale from late December to early January.

But, don’t worry, you’ll be able to shop online at any time during the day.
How long do the January sales last?
All retailers start their January sales on 1 January, but the duration of the sale period varies from a few days to the entire month, depending on the retailer. Some will reveal the exact dates of their sale to their customers while others do not. So, if you see a product that you want it’s best to snap it up early to ensure you don’t miss out on the best deal.
What will be the best deals on offer in the 2023 January sales?
While we won’t know for sure exactly what the best deals in the 2023 January sales will be until January comes, we can make some predictions on the basis of what was on offer last year.
Currys slashed the price of gadgets and home appliances, such as laptops, smart watches, TVs, tablets, fridge freezers, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and gaming.
