  • After Christmas sales

    Will you be hitting the after Xmas sales? I usually go for half a day and pick up wrapping and ribbons at deep discounts. I also pick up some ornaments if they are nice and at a deep discount. I find that they come in very handy for small gifts for exchanges and if I aciddentally forgot someone on my list. Past ornaments I have purchased have saved me I don't know how many times.

    I don't usually by other things. The focus remains on stocking up early for the next Xmas since they are usually the really good deals.

    I will be picking up a few odds and ends. Yes, Christmas good are always a good deal after Christmas. I actually wait about a week. There is less selection, but whatever is left usually goes from 50% off to 80% - 90% off.

        I always buy a house (or other stucture) for my Christmas Villiage. Nothing like 75% off

          I usually buy my wrapping paper each year. I also try to find a new decoration for the house as well.

            I stock up on wrapping paper when we need it. This year, we are getting new lights, a new tree stand and one other thing that escapes me at the moment but is written down on my 'after Christmas' list.

            Good idea to buy a few ornaments for gift exchanges. We could easily do this for our neighbors, to tuck in with the cookies I always make!

              No way. I hate crowds.

              I never go after Thanksgiving, and this time it saved me money because prices came down.

                I will go and get anything I am low on for next Christmas. I always go with a set amount in my pocket in cash and that is all I can spend. Otherwise I would buy all kinds of thing I really didn't need.

                  I really won't need anything. I use fabric to wrap presents, so I will have them again next year. I make may own Christmas cards, and all the decorations will be packed away for next year. I really don't need anymore clutter and trinkets, so the sales don't temp me.

                    I went out last year and still have enough wrapping paper for next year! I got tons of stuff last year at 90% off. The kids want to go to Toysrus with their christmas money so we will probably end up there sometime tomorrow morning.

                      I wasn't really impressed with the sales in my area. There were some things 50% off, but nothing that really caught my eye. I'm hoping in the next week they will be reduced some more so that I can get them a bit cheaper. If not, it won't matter much as I can get by if need be without them.

                        DH and I went out yesterday, looking for a few things, but we didn't have any luck. Bummer.
