There are many people out there who think that going shopping the day after or even a week after Christmas is crazy. Who in their right mind would want to go shopping after they just shopped for numerous people in their family, friends, teachers, the mailman and the list can go on and on! One of my favorite times of year to shop is the after Xmas sales. It is a great time to buy any Christmas must haves for next Christmas!
Most stores start out the day after with at least 50% Xmas
items but some go as high as 70-80! You
can find anything from candy canes (which you don’t want to save for next year)
to Christmas attire! Almost every year,
I buy my girls their holiday dresses for the following Christmas, I just buy a
size bigger and it saves me a ton of cash.
Its also a good time to buy items that you may need for the
next holiday season such as Christmas lights, garland, ornaments and even a
tree! I always give my girls and nephew
a special ornament ever year and this is the time I find them. You can find great Disney ornaments for 70%
off what they cost!

stores to push out their winter attire for spring and summer lines. Great deals ahead and still much of winter
left for those of us in the Midwest so make sure to stay tuned for some great
finds!
Happy Bargaining!!
