Anyone getting good after Christmas deals?

[imagine]

Thick flannel sheets with full elastic on the fitted sheet. $17.99 plus tax originally $70 at jcpenney

Sign said full set $27.99 that was the price before Christmas went to ring it up the registrar said $34.99 I showed them the sign they adjusted the price. Then I used the $10 off of $25 I received in the mail only good yesterday and today . $17.99 plus tax for good much needs flannel sheets

Also bought a red fleece throw blanket $1.49 originally $25 on sale for $11.49 used a $10 off $10 so $1.49 . I am going to make a violin jacket for Little Miss's violin to help keep it warm. The price was cheaper then fleece by the yard at Walmart cheaper then throws at the goodwill and cheaper then the Christmas print throw blankets at half off at Walmart I think it was such a good deal that if it works well I might get it embordorded with the school name and or mascot

Nope, I haven't even been in the stores just the pharmacy.

I went out today and there were KILLER deals going on!

Up to 80% off at Urban Planet. I swung the dress of my dreams (yeah, literally... this dress kept popping up in my dream) for $25.

Next, I went to XXI Forever and got buy one, get one free on jeans. Two pairs of jeans cost me $23.

Finally, I got two bras at Victoria's Secret. Buy one, get one half off. My bras cost me $25 (because I had a gift card for $50) and I got a free tote bag.

All in all, my trip to the mall to three stores cost me $75. I'd have paid $100 for the bras alone if I'd gone at any other time.

I wasn't in the store to buy anything, but had some returns to make. I needed to return two My Little Ponies. LOL Anyway, they were $5/each when I bought them (didn't realize she had these two already...they all look the same to me and with names like Dazzle, Twinkle, etc...who the heck keeps track? Apparently she does! LOL) and they were clearanced at $2.50, so I returned two she already had and got 4 she wanted. LOL She was really happy.

I saw some great deals. But walked right on by.

While I was not looking for deals - I did get some today. I had a $5 AARP coupon at Walgreens so picked up my hair conditioner for free. Also a Walgreen coupon for aspirin substitute - 24 caplets for 95 cents - saved $3.50. Picked up a few Christmas things for the preschool - the best was a set of 18 handpainted glass ornaments for $5 - have all my presents for the educational assistants next year. I had noticed that one of the sped teachers had done the same for the teachers, but she paid $10 for the same set!! Still a great deal!!

* 1 sleeve of tissue paper for .62. Might check for more tomorrow.

I've been trying to stay away from the stores

I got 4 bras at Lane Bryant, Buy 2 Get 2 Free. These are the only bras I like/wear and I only buy them when they are on sale after Christmas. I had a $50 gift card, but still ended up paying $37 and the lady wouldn't let me use my $10 off coupon. Oh well, I have four bras that will last a long time and fit well.

At Avenue I had a $25 gift card and I got a pair of jeans on clearance for $6.96 and a shirt for $14.96.

My 12 yo DD had $215 in gift cards for Hollister and everything was 50% off so she got over $400 of clothes and I only paid $6 out of pocket.

Yesterday at Walgreens I got 2 Sally Hanson nail effects (the strips) that were on clearance for $2.59 and buy one get one half off so I paid $3.88 for both. They are normally $9.99 each! I also got 2 Cover Girl lip glosses on clearance for $2.68 for both!

I went to CVS and Wags and only got 6 cookie tins for $1 each. I am watching my money too.

Odd find for me because they always sell fast. Its the ziploc storage containers red and green ones. Marked to $1.25 i had a .50 cent coupon offf one set. I had 5 coupons and they had 5 sets left.I think there are 3 in there. Also found axe complete set big gift set for 6.00 Had 3.00 coupon bought 3 of those. . This was at walmart.

I stayed away from the after Christmas sales this year. I simply don't need anything. I have a whole bunch of wrapping paper, gift tags...and way to much Christmas decor and we have an upcoming move into our new house and I just didn't want to add to what we already have to move. Our local Walmart didn't carry very much Christmas stuff this year anyway including the gift sets of colognes.

Gift exchanging in Greece actually happens on January 1 so after-Christmas sales don't start til January 2 here - but they did put all the Christmas decorations on 70% clearance at the supermarket, and I got 83 candles (not "Christmas candles" just nice white tapers) and some plain silver-colored candlesticks, some paper plates for next Christmas, and a few other things that will save money next Christmas. But my big find was those candles! They were 0.96 for 10 white tapers, which is 1/5 the regular price for the (exactly the same) "non-Christmas" white tapers in the candle section (I checked the price over there to make sure I was getting a good deal, as it's been a little while since I've bought candles).

When the January sales start, which are usually pretty good, I am going to look for a couple things I need but I'm going to try to keep the spending down as we are expecting DH's Jan/Feb/Mar salaries to have much higher withholding than usual.

I had $20 Kohls dollars. My daughter had bought yesterday a sweater at forty percent off when she returned a gift at Kohls not realizing I had the Kohls dollars. Today we were going to return it and buy it back with the Kohls dollars, it had an additional 20%off today so she ended up paying $4. after all the discounts for a $60 sweater. We have a lot of 70-75% off sales but I am really trying to pay off all non property debt this coming year so I am not looking.

I was back at the mall today to work out and on my way towards Zeller's to get some HBA, I stopped into Sirens.

$5 miniskirts (bought two), $5 top (bought one) and a $10 sweater dress. It was a really, really good score.

I never buy clothes for myself during the entire year. I only buy them on big sales like this. But stores are having up to 80% off on things and it's irresistable. I've still spend $100 on clothes that will last me all year and that's way less than I've spent on one item before.

Just saw this thread. I didn't even leave the house for 2 days after Christmas. No exciting sales, no buying anything discounted or otherwise.
On the other hand BEFORE Christmas I did end up buying 2 rolls of wrapping paper at regular, tho reasonable, price that I needed. I had the kid get it at Marshalls on the way home from work. But still cost me less than gas to drive to the storage building to dig out what I already had.
Oh, and she also got 1 pkg of name tags.
