Welcome to Thrifty Sissy!
Since Christmas is over and most of us can't think about another minute of shopping I want to say I totally understand. My sentiments exactly but now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.
Do you remember just a week or so ago when you were running the streets trying to get your shopping done? Do you remember saying that you would not forget Christmas is coming again?
Well now is the time. In the next week or two those crazy retailers will be trying to make room for Valentine's day, St. Patrick's day and you guessed it...swim suits. Oh my word! It unnerves me. As soon as we are finished with one event they are wagging the next one in our face. But that's the retail business. If you ain't selling something you are outta business. LOL.
But as thrifty folks we can beat them at their own game. We can shop the after Christmas sales and be ready, set and go for next year. Now I realize you can't buy all your gifts off the clearance rack but what about those teacher's gifts, secret pals or friend's gifts? Yesterday I was at Joann's and I overheard one Mom saying she was getting a bunch of notepads of the clearance rack for her children's teacher's gifts next year. As she was grabbing all there was on the rack I heard her tell her friend they were only $.63. Oh goodness! Next year those puppies will be $3 or $4 dollars. What a savings!!
All those cute stocking stuffers are marked way down too. So we have to think outside the box and save some dollars. You will be so thankful next year when you are already prepared and you can take the money you were going to have to spend to get yourself a holiday mani/pedi. LOL!
Happy "clearance" shopping to you all! Have a wonderful, safe new year too!!
