After Christmas Sales!

I decided to venture out and partake of the goodness of the After Christmas Sales today.

Most stores have gone directly to 70% off which has got people out shopping at least! They might not make as much profit, but people are loving the discounts.

I got what I needed for next year - wrapping paper, ribbon, cards, and gifts for my employees. I like to take advantage of the sales and just store away until next year.

I bought a couple tops that were 50% off with some Christmas money, but glad to be back home where it's quiet!

I ventured out to Costco to get some things we needed as well as the local grocery store.
It is snowing to beat the band & it is crazy driving out there.

What I haven't been able to find is anymore salt!
Everyone is sold out & have been since Christmas Eve!

We ain't going anywhere today, mom has cookies baked & we will be playing some games, doing some cleaning but no more buying!

Glad you got some deals. I know my old boss used to do his Christmas Shopping at a local Canadian Tire on Boxing Day for next year.
All toys were discounted 50-70%!

Well, all my employees are ladies, so it's easy to purchase something in advance that is for Christmas and they will enjoy.

I usually get something at Pier1 - - get something nice for less!

I wish it would snow here, but now we have 70 degree weather and thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow.

I had to turn on my air conditioner in the car while I was out shopping!

Lucky you!
I will pack up our snow & send it Fed-Ex!

I didn't even get out of the house... and I don't plan to! There are some things I'd have liked to have purchased while they are on clearance, but with the economy the way it is looking-- I decided to just save my money instead.

I know what you mean Tina - - I bought only what I needed for next year - - nothing extra at all.

I don't need anything - - so that's a good feeling.

You don't need anything?

Aman, I mean, Amen!
