This page covers what happened on Striking Deals India in January 2023. No new posts were added to the archive for this month, but you can still use this time to prepare for the big winter and Republic Day offers that often follow in late January. Below I’ll share practical tips so you don’t miss real savings when deals go live.

What to expect around January

January is a quiet month for some stores and a testing month for others. After New Year clearances, many retailers ramp up Republic Day promotions around the 20–26 January window. Expect discounts on electronics, fashion winter wear clearance, home appliances, and travel deals. Banks and wallets usually add extra offers—instant discounts, no-cost EMI options, or cashback tied to specific cards or apps.

If you shop for gadgets, watch for open-box or factory-refurbished deals that show big price drops but come with limited stock. For fashion and home, seasonal clearance means real price cuts on last-season items. Travel flash sales can pop up fast; a short fare-alert subscription often catches the best ones.

How to spot real discounts and save reliably

Price checks: Before you hit buy, check the recent price history. A sudden “70% off” sounds great until you see the seller inflated the original price. Use multiple seller listings and retailer apps to compare final checkout price, not just the tagged discount.

Coupon rules: Read coupon fine print. Some codes apply only to specific payment methods, minimum spends, or select models. If a coupon needs a bank card, try a small test purchase first on refundable items so you know it works.

Warranty and returns: A low price isn’t worth it if returns are a pain or the warranty is void. Confirm who handles service—manufacturer or marketplace—and how many service centers exist in your city.

Timing and alerts: Set alerts for items you want. Prices move quickly around big sale days. If you’re unsure, add the item to cart and check seller return policies. For electronics, morning hours often restock limited flagship offers.

Stacking offers: Combine bank discounts, exchange offers, and platform cashback when possible. But run the math: sometimes a straight discount beats a small cashback that takes months to materialize.

Want a quick action plan? Pick three items you actually need, set price alerts, subscribe to deal updates on the site, and verify payment offers a day before the sale. That approach keeps you focused and saves both time and money.

If you missed posts this month, don’t worry—use these tips to catch the next wave of real deals. Keep an eye out for our updates and the major January sale days that usually bring the best bargains.
