Not many good buys after Christmas

With Black Friday starting early last year, and many stores having sales before the Christmas rush began, there wasn't much to chose from at stores after Christmas. Sure, there were Christmas cards, candy, ornaments, and other items that you probably could use for the next holiday, but for those waiting for 75% off instead of 50%, you likely missed out. That's what makes shopping fun (and sometimes disappointing) year-round. You never know when or where your next bargin will come!
