Default Buying Christmas stuff on sale!

Do you buy Christmas cards, ornaments, and such after Christmas, when they are on sale? We bought a bunch yesterday - boxes of lovely ornaments discounted from $5 to $1.25. With the regular price, we would have spent over $100 for them. My husband also bought some gift wrapping paper cheap, it should last us for years.

That's the best time to buy it! I've been buying a lot of Christmas candy at four for a dollar. As soon as a holiday is over, I'll get something like candy or decorations or something that I happened to like.

I love after Christmas sales! I usually wait until the prices are slashed at least 75% off. I just bought a couple of Christmas books, a stuffed animal and a hand held video game~ all for 75% off! I love bargains like that!

You can find all kinds of interesting things just because the stores have to get rid of it for the next shipment to come in. I like to use that opportunity to buy things for upcoming birthdays.

Wow that's awesome too bad we don't have after Christmas sales here. I really want to buy that huge bear and I haven't seen it on sale either. T_T

I just love it when a store has to constantly mark the price of an item down. It starts at the measly 15 or 20%, but I consider myself pretty patient when it comes to these kinds of things, and I make my buy when the discount has risen to 70 or 90% off.

See, that's how I think! I don't know why more people don't plan ahead and do the same. It really can save you lots of money

Oh up to 90% off? That's super! Well there's no way I could resist shopping with that kind of sale. I guess people are just buying stuffs when they need it well it's their loss.

I love shopping after Christmas and buying stuff for the next year! I would never pay the before Christmas prices unless I really, really had to have something for some reason.
