Sister Save-A-Lot After Christmas Shopping Game Plan

If you think Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year; wait until I tell you about the day after Christmas. Each year I go to two stores for after Christmas Sales. 1st on my list is Target, generally after Christmas on December 26th (for 3 days) most of Target Holiday and toys are 50% off. December 29th (for 3 days) most of Target Holiday and toys are 75% off, and January 1st if there are any items left they can possibly be priced at 90% off.

 My 2nd store that I take a visit to is Dollar Tree. My local Dollar Tree sells their gift wrapping paper and other Holiday items at 50% off. Take a chance at your store and see if they two are taking 50% off their holiday items.



Sister Save-A-Lot: After Christmas Shopping Tips. . .

Purchase toys for next year: If your child is 2, look for toys for 3 years old on the clearance rack.


Fill your gift closet: I don't know about you, but my gift closet is wiped out. If you are going to weddings, baby showers or birthday parties in the next 12 months you can get some awesome deals on gifts now.


Wait to return items: Why wait in line and make yourself mad. Wait a few days to return the item that you need to exchange or return.


Avoid impulse buying: Ask yourself, "Do I need this?" If the answer is no; leave the item at the store.

Sister Save-A-Lot:Frugal Holiday Card Options

This past year I got an opportunity to meet a lot of people while teaching coupon classes, attending networking events, and being on Extreme Couponing.  As much as I want to send everybody a holiday card; the price of stamps doesn't allow me too.  However, one of my graphic designers Designs By Shay told me about Holiday eCards.  Check out one of my Holiday E-Cards that will be sent out this year. 

If you want to get your own holiday e-Card contact Designs By Shay. 

Holiday Gifts from my Stockpile

It's gift giving season but you may not have the cash to give like you want to.  If you are a couponer and have a stockpile, go and take a look and see what you can grab and make a unique basket of goodies as your gift.  {I use to be so crafty, but I think coupons have taken over that side of my brain.}  I will not lie my stockpile has no space for extras, so I am more than excited to give gifts from my STOCKPILE. 

Check out these two small baskets that I made tonight.  I am going to make more, but I need to take a trip to Target Dollar Spot to pick up more baskets.  



All items were purchased for FREE with Cover Girl coupons.  The basket was purchased for $1.00 at Target. 
This gift is great for the make-up lover on your gift list.





All items were FREE after coupons!

The real tip to giving gifts from your stockpile is to be as creative as you can.  Check your makeup, nails, coffee, tea, body wash and lotion stockpile.  You can make one of a kind baskets that will not break the bank.  Look for baskets, holiday tins, and other containers from your local Dollar Store, Target Dollar Spot, Craft Stores.
