If you like to plan ahead , scoring some major deals after Christmas will put you in a good position for next year. I’ve done a little research and culled together the best tips for getting the most out of post-Christmas sales:
Make a list. Take inventory of what you have left and what you think you’ll need for next year’s holiday season. Things like cards, candles and gift wrap that you go through yearly should definitely make the list, but things like ornaments, lights, and other decorations that may need replacing should also be considered.
Wrapping Paper. A lot of wrapping paper that is marketed as “Christmas” paper can be used year round – so stock up!
Candles. A lot of candle scents are marketed as “holiday” but can be enjoyed year round if you just peel of the sticker!
Do Research. Spend some time looking at the newspaper, sales circulars, and internet. You can find a lot of coupons and deals and know where to go for the best bang for your buck.
Shop Department Stores. Department stores have to clear out their excess “holiday” inventory to make room for new arrivals in the near year. You’ll find a lot of on sale that doesn’t necessarily include holiday accessories.
Winter Wear. You’ll find a lot of coats, hats, boots, etc. on sale beginning now.
Happy shopping!
