Dang...I have been soo wrong about shopping all these years (well, not the past 3 years, but subtract that from the whole 29 years ;) I have lived, and you get ALL THESE YEARS) haha Point is. . .I will never ever pay full price for wrapping paper, gift tags, bags, bows, tissue paper, Christmas Cards or decorations AGAIN!!
Since I have decided to change up my blog a little, I am not gonna bore u with details. . .but I do want to just share a little tid bit of what I mean.
Currently, if stores have any xmas merch left, they are trying to get rid of it. Target already has their stuff at 75% off (and as of NYE, they were pretty much out of all the "good" stuff) and Kmart and Wal Mart were at 50% off. All smart shoppers know that this is when to stock up for next year (uhm, that is, IF u have any money left from the HORRIBLE HOLIDAY shopping!! LOL)
Well with the few pennies I had left, I found some awesome deals for next year.
Best deal: Weis markets had all xmas stuff marked down. ..mostly 50% off with the exception of xmas cards. they were 90% off!!! I went over there and there were only TWO packs left - I grabbed them of course. Now get this, they were originally marked 10.99 and 11.99 (which is ABSOLUTELY outrageous for xmas cards!) but at 90% off I got them for 1.10 and 1.21!!! :) :) I was so happy! Not only did I get a few cards at Kmart earlier in the day - I think like 40 - for 6.36, then I got this good deal for about 32 cards! It was awesome (even tho I was mad about getting "ripped off" at Kmart - not really, but compared to Weis!) I needed the cards though and was glad to get them at a discount because I ran out before I was done this year (UGH and only TWO short! just my luck lol) and had to buy a pack. I got them at Christmas Tree Shops for $3.99 (for 16) which is better than other stores (like Weis at retail) but still, that hurt!! haha talk about a cheap ass! LOL Now I have tons of cards for next year and won't even have to think about that during the hustle and bustle of next years holiday. Along with that, I will not have to think about wrapping paper, tags, tissue paper, bags, etc. cuz all that stuff is stocked and bought when it is cheap -- AFTER SEASON!!
Geez, if everyone was as smart as me, retailers would be out of business!! HA!
