All the stores are offering their annual after Christmas sales. Wondering what to buy? Here are a few ideas: 1. Gear up for other holidays - Now is the time to stock up on red candles for Valentines Day, Green items for St. Patty's Day, and stocking stuffers for Easter Basket fillers. 2. Get ready for next year by buying heavily discounted wrapping paper and Christmas decor. 3. Groceries - save big by buying all those groceries you need anyway with Christmas packaging. What do you buy during the after Christmas sales?

I think it is the best time to buy discounted items on groceries, toys, clothes, and chocolates! These things are what you'll need/want for the rest of the year and it would be best if we get a head start on buying these items while their prices are slashed half! I also think you item number 2 is a good strategy: buy Christmas goodies for next year so you you'll have enough stock next time and you won't worry about wrapping papers and such. However, that's only applicable if you have enough storage area :P We don't want to store things that would end up being eaten by bugs, right?

Hi oyen kai: Without a doubt5, stores make good offers after Christmas and we have to make a profit of this, i think. I wish i could buy the things I'll need but you know, we all have our own priorities and i simply buy some things I wish to buy for me since months. And yeah, unfortunetly we all can not look for a place where to keep the things you buy for next Christmas. Thanks for your answer oyen kay. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care. -Alvaro.

I think you should buy things that you need anyway, but may be expensive usually, such as bed wear, luggage, underwear etc. Nothing too fashionable!

This year we won't really be buying anything for Christmas as we're going on vacation. We plan to, well I am not sure what our official plan is when it comes to helping out with the vacation. Hubs and I are going with his parents and they said they'd pay for everything as a present to us but we plan to do something to help them. As for the after sales, we might peak at a few of those, thanks for the suggestions, I never thought of stocking stuffers for easter basket fillers!

The frugal among us would have waited for these deals to come and then buy them for drastically reduced prices because many stores I think may have bought stock jsut for the christmas and may have even hiked the price .Consequently here is an opportunity to get items at serious discounts and you may even buy these items and keep them for next christmas gifts

Hi kelly: in my case i think that it would be agreat oportunity to buy the things cheaper with an after christmas sale. In my case i buy what i most like to buy: music. I'll buy for this After Christmas sales the DVD Strangers of Keane- one of my favorite bands, The Michael Jackson's This Is IT DVD and the single Good Souls of Starsailor my favorite band. The Michael Jackson's DVD will be for my brother because it's almost his birthday, i think He'll enjoy it. So basically it would be a nice oportunity. Thanks for asking us this question. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care. -Alvaro.
