After Christmas Sales

[tchrrx]

Have you found any great deals after Christmas? I haven't gone shopping yet. I'm hoping that things will go even cheaper in a couple of days.

I love Hallmark and always hit them up after Christmas. This year they have a Disney Train decoration that I wanted but was not willing to pay full price for since each car (5 in total) are sold separately. But I snagged them yesterday at half off!

We went to target, hobby lobby and Joanna yesterday and there wasn't much to be had as far as Christmas stuff. I wouldn't wait if that's what you're looking for. Most places started clearance last week and there's just way less stuff left than usual. Either more are buying or they are ordering less product.

Hit Walmart up yesterday for some usual Christmas stuff half off yesterday, lights, etc. However, what I was pleasantly surprised was that all of their gift sets was 1/2 off also. I was able to get eight sets of the Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor gift box that came with the handle, two razors and a large bottle of the Gillette shaving cream for $4.97 each. Amazing deal as every four razors cost $22 bucks at normal price. I saved about $45 bucks that I normally would spend and don't have to buy razors for the next year.

Also, got two Herbal Essences gift box sets that came with the large shampoo/conditioner and moose for $4.97 each. Normally, each bottle by itself is five bucks a piece.

I went to two different Targets yesterday and got all stocked up on wrapping paper, tissue, boxes, etc for next year. Today I went to Macy's and the sales there weren't really all that great. I did buy two small pieces to match my Christmas dishes there for a good price.

I grabbed the last 2 huge rolls of wrapping paper at BJ's so I'm set for the next 2 or 3 years.
I got some bath towels and a bath mat that are more woodsy themed than Christmas so I can use them year round.
I got 2 Hallmark ornaments that I refused to pay full price for.
I usually check Target for hidden household items. Last year I found saran wrap, press n seal, and the disposable glad containers. I'm hoping to find more even though I still have stuff from last year.

I got them too, except for Mickey! (Not only the train driver but also my favourite character). They were sold at one of the major supermarkets here and I've tried 3 different stores but no luck so I might have to resort to eBay.

I also got a skirt and top for 40% off and a pair of shorts for $25 from $70 originally from one of my favourite stores, plus a very nice ceramic pie dish for 30% off. My mum got a new set of pots for half price; she got her old ones when she was pregnant with me and I'm nearly 26 so she was definitely due for a new set! Overall though, not very good sales this year, just stores with big signs claiming to have sales (e.g. Target were heavily promoting their towels which are the exact same price as always!).

They've got Mickey at the Hallmark store online for $8. Of course you'd have to pay shipping, which makes is less of a good deal, but they're doing free shipping for orders over $50 if there are other things you need from Hallmark.

Everyday Minerals has 50% off everything (except 3 for 2, giftcards, etc) - use coupon code BRILLIANT. I just placed a ridiculously large order to cover me for the next year.

I also bought some pop-in mugs from ShopWorldKitchen.com (Corningware site) for work gifts next year. Coupon code 64473 gets you 25% off and free shipping. The mugs end up being $4.50 each plus tax. Not a brag-to-everyone deal but it's the cheapest I've seen the colored mugs so I pulled the trigger.

I love going to Barnes and Noble and stocking up on Christmas books. Since I forgot to get my son a calendar for his room this Christmas, I can at least save now. Our local mall has a toy shop that is only open for the holidays and they have to close out by February. So that's a good find too.

I work in retail at a clothing store and I would say to keep some expectations low for what you will find. There will be some good after Christmas deals but there will be far less inventory to shop from. I know at my store we are trying to get rid of what is left of our winter/cold weather clothing to make space for our spring inventory/ warm weather clothing.

I work st a target so I ran out over my lunch and got wrapping paper and gift bags, gift tags, a tree topper (have never had one!) and a few toys for birthday gifts coming up. I was able to snag a lot of wrapping paper that wasn't really Christmas and could definitely be used for birthdays too!

I'm in Australia and unfortunately the Hallmark store won't ship here. I've seen a few on eBay for fairly cheap, but the shipping is really expensive. The annoying thing is my sister will be living in the US from 1/17 (and in a hotel over there for 2 nights prior), but I don't know that there will be any available anywhere by then.

I went to Target the day after to buy a gift. The store was a mess. For the first time I didn't go to stock up on stuff like I use to . We still have Christmas wrapping paper, bags, tissue paper, gift tags, boxes, money card holders, 3 boxes of Christmas cards and Large plastic gift bags for large gifts. Hubby likes to give out gift cards to his family so no need to buy more stuff sine I have so much left from previous years.

I miss those days of going to after Christmas sales. Wal-mart is my favorite place to go. I might go to look for 1st Christmas stuff and stockings

I bought lots of gift bags and tissue paper at the dollar tree for 50% off. Walmart had large robe size white boxes 50% off. It was a two pack for 1.96 or less. I can't remember if the original price was 3.94 or 3.34. I will try Hallmark next week. Hopefully the wrapping paper will be 90% off. Three years ago I bought 6 rolls and have 1.5 rolls left they are huge rolls.

Do you want me to check my store and see if they have any left?

I was at Walmart on the 26th - went for wrapping paper (I actually was out this year and had to buy 1 extra full-price roll to get through the last of wrapping - this is what happens when you have to wrap every present from relatives and not just from you), battery-powered lights (so I can finally have some lights on my front door wreath), candy canes (b/c my kids decided the fruit-flavored ones were the best ever this year), and a wreath hook (to replace our degrading one) and got everything. Also was very happy to snag some 1/2 off Hickory Farms boxes - hubby loves these and I'm too cheap to pay full price - and 2 sets of bath toy washable paints for my winter birthdays. Since I was directed in my shopping, I didn't spend as much as other years, but it was all needed and happily gotten...

I don't need much but I did run out of wrapping paper on Christmas Eve, had to borrow a roll from my mom. So I went to Target on the 27th. Picked up about 20 rolls. I should be set for a few years. They had 180 square foot ones for $2.50. I got a couple Disney ones, I love having them but I refuse to pay full price for them. I also got two of those star shower projectors. My dad bought one before Christmas but my mom made him take it back because it was too much. So i bought him two on clearance for his birthday.

They've got Christmas stuff half off at my Hallmark and they have a ton of inventory. I wonder when it will get marked down further?

THANK YOU!!! DD and I both use Everyday Minerals so I stocked up. Can't beat it for 50% off!
