Budget Shopping: After-Christmas Sales

Confession: The majority of the presents under our tree this year were not bought in 2010.

Yes, they were brand new.

No, I didn’t pay a lot of money for them.

Want me to reveal my budget Christmas secrets?

I thought you would!

The key to being a Smart Budget Shopper is to always be on the lookout for great deals and steals. I often take advantage of After-Christmas Sales and start buying for the next year.  I don’t limit myself to just Christmas gifts. I often buy for birthday parties I know we’ll get invited to, teacher gifts for Parent’s Day Out, etc.

By purchasing gifts ahead of time…

• I avoid the crowds of the mall
• I eliminate impulse buying to meet the gift deadline
• I always have something tucked away for an unexpected gift that I might need
• Most importantly, I save my family money in the long run!

It’s the only way I shop.

One of my favorite After-Christmas Sales I’ll be taking advantage of….

I love Dayspring products! The Clearance section is incredible right now!

I love the Jesus is the Gift – Metal Tray. It’s only $7.49!

I have the 13.5″ Serving Platter – Jesus Is The Gift – John 3:16 and love it! It’s sitting on my mantle this very second! It’s only $8.49!

And the Jesus is the Gift – Ribbon and Cross Ornament is only $1.75!  (75% off)

If I had extra money to spend on a gift just for me, I would purchase the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio. Just look at it…it’s on sale too!

While I was checking out the Dayspring site, I noticed they have FREE SHIPPING on orders of $50 or more (For US Residents only).

Enjoy the After-Christmas Sales!
