Did you hit the stores on Dec. 26? I did.
I went to Joann Fabrics for their 70% off Christmas sale and bought things for next year.
I got candles, Christmas placemats and tissue paper.
I also got some bath gift sets, including bubble bath, bath salts, lotions, etc. I’ll be able to use these for Christmas or sooner, since not all have a Christmas-y theme.
I’ll give them as-is or repackage them in a gift basket.
I tried to limit how much I bought, since I didn’t want to store a ton of items this year.
Overall, it was worthwhile for me to go shopping and get a head start on next year.
How’d you do? What stores did you visit? What deals did you find? Do you think it was worth it?
I went to an outlet mall because my friend wanted to. I didn’t notice any great deals.
I hit Target on my lunch break from work (we’re just two blocks away) and picked up our packaging supplies and cards for next year at 50% off, plus some extra white tissue paper for birthdays.
I was blessed enough to receive money specifically for replenishing my wardrobe from a family member, so I took advantage of the great online sales to order some new clothes. Except for two pair of jeans I specifically was after, just about everything was 50% off or more, and I mostly got free shipping as well. Just because it’s not “my” money doesn’t mean I can’t get the most for it. ;o)
