With Christmas in the rearview mirror, it’s time to breathe a sigh of relief. But if you didn’t get what you wanted or needed and you still have some money in your budget, after-Christmas sales are the perfect time to get yourself what you wanted or plan ahead by shopping for specific items. Here’s what to buy during after-Christmas sales.

Food and Drink Items

From pantry staples to special treats, there are plenty of grocery store bargains to be had after the holidays. You’ll find markdowns on many seasonal flavors and specialties. But even year-round pantry staples, like crackers and baking supplies, will be on clearance if they’re in holiday packaging. Just be sure to check expiration dates to ensure you’ll have plenty of lead time to enjoy your bargains.

Personal Care Packages

You may not think of deodorant or razor blades as gift items, but many manufacturers package special gift sets of personal care essentials especially for holiday giving. And once the holidays pass, these sets get marked down immediately — often as much as 50% off or more. Look for these special holiday packages to contain soap, body wash, lotion, and other everyday toiletries to save big on items you can use throughout the year.

Winter Clothing and Accessories

Sweaters, coats, boots, hats, scarves and gloves all start getting marked down right after the holiday shopping season, so it’s the perfect time to buy. Whether you need them right now or put them away for next year (for yourself or gifts), you’ll save a lot — especially if it’s a big-ticket item like a winter coat or cashmere sweater. If you’re buying for next year, just be sure to document your purchases and remember where you store them, so you don’t lose track of what you have.

Toys and Games

While it’s impossible to predict what next year’s hottest toy will be, you can find some great after-Christmas bargains on classic toys and games. Stock up on kids’ favorites to have on hand for young family and friends’ birthdays throughout the year. It will save you that mad dash of shopping and paying too much for gifts when you remember your little cousin’s special day or get a last-minute party invitation.

Holiday Decorations

The real superstars of after-Christmas sales are the holiday decorations. Now is the time to buy and put things away for next year if you need a new artificial tree, lights, outdoor decorations and more. Stores have limited floor and storage space and are very motivated to move out this merchandise to make room for other things. You’ll see immediate markdowns of at least 50% off, which will quickly move to 75% off in the coming days.
