What Will Post Christmas Sales Offer?
As I did some last-minute shopping this week, I saw that many stores were already offering their holiday merchandise for 30%-50% off. Traditionally, the day AFTER Christmas is when you can count on Christmas merchandise hitting 50% off.
So, since most stores have already priced holiday things at a deep discount, what is in store for the day after Christmas? Consumer and retailing experts are saying that this year the day after Christmas could look like another Black Friday.
JC Penney will have jewelry at 70% off. Sears is going to offer Craftsman tool chests at 50% off and 75% off on electronics. I’m anxious to see how much more places like Target and Pier 1 discount their Christmas décor. Maybe I will even be able to find Black Friday-esque prices on MP3 players and flash drives. The ones I went after on the actual Black Friday sold out before I could get to them.
I’m not sure I will bother to venture out on Friday. I really don’t need anything. Of course, that is part of what is going on with retailers this year. Buyers are looking at want versus need, which is something I have always done. It’s just a more prevalent attitude now.
