What Else to Know About White Sales

When Are White Sales?

White sales are mostly held in January. We've seen many January white sales appear during the first half of the month, with some even starting at the tail end of December. But some white sales may occur in February, too.

Once in a while, you'll see a white sale during the summer or another time of year. So keep an eye out throughout 2024!

What Is a White Sale?

A white sale is an event that offers discounts on household linens, especially bed and bath items. White sales date back to January 1878. That's when department store pioneer John Wanamaker reportedly held the first one as a way to sell excess bedding stock during a normally slow time of year.

Why did Wanamaker call his event a "White Sale"? All the linens were only available in a basic shade of white!

That's not to say white sales are never called anything else. You may see retailers refer to them to as "bedding and bath sales," "bed and bath events," and the like. Or the linens deals could be part of a larger home sale. Whatever their name, here are the types of items you'll likely see at white sales:

• Sheets
• Bedspreads
• Duvets
• Towels
• Home decor
• Furniture

Those last two items may seem like they don't fit, but various home products do pop up at white sales, including lighting and kitchen supplies.

What Stores Have White Sales?

If a store offers home items, check to see if it has a white sale. Both brick-and-mortar and online-only retailers host white sales, and department stores are prime candidates. Here are some retailers that have historically hosted white sales:

• Ballard Designs
• Bed Bath & Beyond
• Bloomingdale's
• Dillard's
• Home Depot
• JCPenney
• Kohl's
• Macy's
• Nordstrom Rack
• Target

What Discounts Can You Expect?

White sales encompass a wide range of discounts. On the lower end, retailers may feature a selection of items at 20% or 25% off. On the higher end, you'll frequently see discounts of up to 60% off, if not more. In fact, last January, Overstock.com (now going by Bed Bath & Beyond) cut up to 70% off select bath and bedding items, while Frontgate cut up to 78% off in its Bed & Bath Sale. But in general, you can expect most stores to offer from up to 40% off to up to 70% off select bedding, bath, and other items during a white sale.

Look for extra savings opportunities, too. Use available coupon codes, and you may get an extra 15% to 25% off certain items, or your order as a whole. And with some coupons, you can get dollars or some percentage off if you spend a minimum amount.

How Low Do Prices Go During January White Sales?

While it's true that white sales can pop up at any time of year, we also understand if you'd rather shop bedding and bath items once and just be done. If you're only interested in the savings that January brings, here are the lowest prices you can expect for popular white-sale items.
