The day after Christmas is one of the best days of the year for bargain shoppers. It can be a great day to pick up deals on Christmas items for next year, like wrapping paper and Christmas cards. It’s also a great time to redeem gift certificates that you may have received as a gift.
If you are going to venture out on December 26th in search of bargains, you can save yourself some time by previewing the sales on the website of stores you like to shop at. At the time of this post many stores such as Amazon, Best Buy, Boston Store, and Kohls and do not have previews of their post Christmas sales, but its likely they’ll release previews soon. However, some stores like JCPenney and Sears do have previews available.
JCPenney will be opening at 5am on Saturday for their after-Christmas Sale. Visit their website to preview their ad for the store closest to you. The online ad has coupons for $15 off a purchase over $75 or more, and $10 off a purchase of $50 or more. Doorbuster sales include towels, hooded sweatshirts, women’s sweaters, and men’s and women’s cold weather accessories. Their entire stock of holiday tablewear, decor, and trim is 75% off.
Sears is advertising doorbuster sales from 7am to Noon on Saturday. Notable doorbusters at Sears include an extra 40% off clearance prices, $9.99 Canyon River Blues jeans for the family, and 70% off coats for the family. Sears also is advertising 20% off all Kenmore appliances; however, before purchasing an appliance, make sure you have researched the Wisconsin “cash for clunker appliances” program that begins January 1, 2010.
