On Tuesday, ABC’s “Good Morning America” (GMA) released a “daily deals” list highlighting discounts of 40% or more at retailers like Amazon, Gap, REI, Macy’s, and Wayfair. Among the standout offers were a Wayfair velvet platform bed discounted by up to 76% and a Samsung 55-inch Odyssey Ark gaming screen marked down roughly 51%. ABC News
Inflation remains front and center as the latest data highlight pressure on household budgets and fuel bargain hunting. The U.S. Consumer Price Index climbed 0.3% in December, pushed up by shelter and food prices. Apparel costs increased 0.6%, while expenses for household furnishings and operations dropped 0.5%, according to Labor Department figures. “Families may not closely track core inflation”—which excludes food and energy—“but they see grocery prices and restaurant costs immediately,” noted Sung Won Sohn, a finance and economics professor at Loyola Marymount University.

On the same day, GMA’s shopping team spotlighted “home and kitchen savings,” highlighting Wayfair’s price drops and Ashley’s deals with discounts up to 50% on select items. Their picks included a 30% markdown on a Joybird swivel chair, a Keurig K-Express single-serve coffee maker at 36% off on Amazon, plus kitchen essentials like a Pyrex storage set from The Container Store and a Cosori air fryer listed at 25% off. ABC noted it earns a commission—a percentage of sales—when readers purchase via the affiliate links and cautioned that some prices are dynamic and might shift post-publication. Good Morning America
The deal pages look like a snapshot of today’s retail battle: online giants, legacy chains, and niche brands all slashing prices simultaneously. Wayfair and Amazon, two major online home-goods players, sit alongside Macy’s bedding and kitchen offers, with specialty brands tossed into the mix.
Earlier this month, ABC’s shopping page highlighted discounts on furniture, mattresses, and appliances from retailers like Lowe’s, Best Buy, Wayfair, and Ashley, with deals reaching up to 72% off. Among the offers: a Sealy memory foam mattress at 72% off on Wayfair and a built-in LG dishwasher marked down 42% at Lowe’s.
That split—essentials on one page, high-end home goods on the next—highlights how January sales chatter centers more on discounts than fresh releases.
Wayfair climbed roughly 3.6% in Wednesday’s premarket session. Macy’s inched up about 0.3%, while Amazon slipped roughly 1.5%. Lowe’s advanced near 1.2%, and Best Buy edged up approximately 0.5%.
