初売り

今年(ことし)の初売り[はつうり]は一月二日(いちがつふつか)から始(はじ)まる。

This year's New Year's sale starts on January 2nd.

母(はは)は毎年(まいとし)初売り[はつうり]で福袋(ふくぶくろ)を三(みっ)つも買(か)う。

Every year my mother buys as many as three lucky bags at the New Year's sale.

元旦(がんたん)に近所(きんじょ)のデパートで初売り[はつうり]がある。

There is a New Year's first sale at the department store near my house on New Year's Day.

初売り[はつうり]の福袋(ふくぶくろ)を買(か)うために朝早く[あさはやく]並(なら)んだ。

I lined up early in the morning to buy a lucky bag at the New Year's sale.

初売り[はつうり]に行(い)ったら、欲(ほ)しかった靴(くつ)が半額(はんがく)で売(う)られていた。

When I went to the New Year's sale, the shoes I wanted were being sold at half price.
