Top Christmas Clearance Buys!!!

I love Christmas, it’s my favorite part of the year, but it’s over and now my second favorite part of the year is here, Christmas clearance. I personally think it’s better than Black Friday because of the deals I get.

My absolute favorite clearance item is Christmas decorations and holiday themed items. Every year I go to Cracker Barrel and hit their clearance. It’s my favorite and they have some amazing deals. Last year I spent around $40 for over $300 worth of Christmas decor. And let me say, even though I had to wait a year to use it, I have the most beautiful tree we’ve ever had. It was like an early Christmas when I got them out with the tags still on it. It was just short of magical.

Maybe this year you have a real tree and although the smell is perfect, the pine needles are currently covering your living room floor and you are over it. Last year we decided we would buy a fake tree. I went to Wal-Mart to their clearance section and got a $100 fake tree for just $25! What a deal!

Here are some other items that will be on clearance that you can use next year. A lot of these items will be seriously cheap so stock up. If you do it this year, you will never pay full price for these items again.

Gift sets -Lots of stores has Christmas gift sets they have to get rid of and will be put on clearance

Christmas linens

Another huge clearance item is food. Did you know that nuts, cookies, candies, cake mixes, icings and cookies all taste the same after Christmas? It’s true! It doesn’t matter if Santa is on them, they can still be used well into the year, but stores will have them on sale because of how they look. Buy them up and use them! This may be a good time to use coupons too and get some freebies! Take your binder!

What clearance items do you buy ever year to save money for next year?
