Check Stores for Holiday Bargains Now!

by Deborah Ng on December 15th, 2007

Today while braving the pre-storm crowds at the supermarket, I came across the following items in the bargain aisle:

  • Christmas cards: Boxes of 30 selling two for one.
  • Christmas ornaments: Boxes with half a dozen or more selling 2 for $5
  • Menorahs: $7.99 for a Menorah selling for $14.00 originally.
  • Other various and sundry holiday items.

With Christmas just a little over a week away, I’m sure the store was hoping to sell more merchandise at full price. Now that it’s getting dwn to the wire, they have to move the goods or be stuck until next year. Check your supermarket’s holiday items as we get closer and closer to the 25th, watch how many items are drastically reduced.

    I was in my pharmacy earlier this week and was surprised to see Christmas stuff was already 50% off. I guess they would rather get rid of it now than store it.

    You’re right. At first I was feeling stressed that I didn’t get started shopping until Friday. Then I got to the stores and everything is on sale! Sometimes it pays to shop late.

    Yesterday the supermarket had even more markdowns. I couldn’t believe all the christmas stuff that was in the discount bins - 50% to 75% off. If I didn’t hate crowds so much, I’d save it until the last minute for the bargains.
