I’ve made my list of items that I am looking to buy at the after Christmas sales. I stock up on gift wrap, bows, gift bags, etc., during the sales. I check my current supply and make a list of what items I want to purchase. I usually don’t shop the after Christmas sales until the merchandise goes to 75% off. For some stores, that is the day after Christmas. However, Target usually does not clearance their holiday merchandise to 75% off until about a week after Christmas. I have several local Targets that I can shop at, so if one is out of merchandise at 75% off, then I check out the other ones. I haven’t paid full price for gift wrap or bows in years.Â
I also make a list of any holiday decorations or crafts that I would like for the next Christmas and search for those during the clearance sales as well.Â
At Target, I like to stock up on the candy that goes to 75% off and use that for Valentine gift giving. I also use the plain red bags and any other plain red items for Valentine’s gifts. If I find stocking stuffers left over (that are not Christmas themed), then I will purchase those at 75% off to put into Easter Baskets.Â
