shopping year round

One way that I am able to get the most for my money as far as buying gifts goes is shopping year round.
With all of the seasonal clearance sales you can find some real bargains!

I have always loved shopping, especially the day after Christmas.I always make sure I buy the paper Christmas Day so I have my plan of attack about which stores to go to ready to put into action!  I must admit that unless it's a must have item, I have been known to hold out and wait for further markdowns. Sometimes this strategy works and sometimes I will give in and buy that one of a kind item, especially if there is only a small quantity left. While it may not be marked down as much as I would like it to be , I still get the coveted item for a discounted price.

Alot of stores will mark down Christmas items such as ornaments, wrapping paper, candies and more 75-90% off starting mid January to the end  of Janury to clear up on these items and make room for the next Holiday. Happy Shopping!
