- These are the top 10 things
you should be buying on clearance right now after Christmas.
And surprisingly, not a single one of my points
are Christmas decorations.
In the first spot,
designer and brand name clothing are one of the best
after Christmas purchases you can make.
And if you've held off on any winter clothing purchases,
now is your time.
And it's not just designer deals.
Big brand names like Levi's,
and even all of those puffer jackets that we saw reduced
for 40% off on Black Friday are now up to 80% off
depending on where you shop.
Most stores will divide and split
their sale and clearance sections.
And if the clothing item you're buying is not at a minimum
of 50 to 70% off, I would skip right over it.
Columbia is one of your top picks next to North Face,
which you will find heavily reduced at Kohl's.
And even JC Penny, where many new Columbia coats
and winter-related items have been added
to its clearance section.
And if you expand the video description box,
you'll find links to all of the top deals
that I have located for you from Nike to North Face,
all listed under the video screen.
In the number two spot, forget Christmas decor.
Almost any type of home decor is on clearance right now.
Home decor items from your favorite retailers,
including everything from standing floor lamps
to huge mirrors and rugs.
Even autumn-related items that you could hold onto
for next fall are a big bargain phenomenon at Target.
You'll also find other pieces of furniture widely reduced
at retailers like Home Goods,
where woven type of basket storage solutions
are all being closed out.
Wall decor tied to spring sports,
and even back-to-school-related items
from all the way back in September
are at least 50% off at Hobby Lobby,
including hooks, signs,
welcoming others to your home,
and huge pieces of canvas art,
popular clearance finds at Hobby Lobby,
in addition to large pieces of furniture.
And if you do have a New Year's resolution
that you wanna get rolling on with a calendar,
so you can bring it to life,
chalk and smart erase planners are reduced
by at least 50% right now.
Speaking of New Year's resolutions,
in the number three spot, if any of your 2022 plans
include fitness, this is the sweet spot
for savings right now.
And let's begin with two retailers
that you might not typically associate with fitness finds.
The first, Best Buy.
NordicTrack sale and some clearance displays
have launched at Best Buys across the country,
and I should mention, none of these products are sponsored.
No store is paying me to talk about them.
These deals typically run until the third week of January,
so do not feel overly pressured to buy a fitness item.
The only reason to consider a purchase right now
is the growing shipping delays.
Similarly, Lowe's, likely not your first stop for fitness
has Pro-Form treadmills and stationary bike sales
marked down right now after Christmas.
Walmart has just added sale items to its fitness selection,
from weight racks, to dumbbells and cowbells.
And Dick's Sporting Goods is re-running
many of the Black Friday promotions
they featured in November on adjustable weights,
medicine balls, and the heavily after Bosu Balls,
which went out of stock during Black Friday
are now available.
A wide variety of high-end ellipticals,
including Schwinn for under $650,
as well as commercial-grade treadmills,
also coming in with prices as low as 650
at Dick's Sporting Goods.
Before I get to my next point, which includes appliances,
I forgot to mention.
I hope you had a wonderful and merry Christmas
if you were celebrating.
We just had a small gathering at our home,
but as you can see from this quick clip of my daughter,
Mara, she is at an age right now
where she is really enjoying her themed pajamas,
which I actually found on sale for $2.
And she loves the excitement of opening presents
under the tree.
Oh, to be three years old again.
In the number four spot,
the appliance finds right now are not only on closeout,
but at many retailers,
these are the exact same deals that ran Black Friday,
except prices are 5 to 10% better,
and shipping delays are at least five times worse.
Just keep in mind if you have an appliance on the fritz,
or if you anticipate absolutely needing an appliance on-hand
by the spring, buy now, lock in the lowest price.
And if the appliance doesn't show up until March or April,
at least I've been able to warn you right now,
but I do have good news,
and that's tied to the number five spot.
If you've got a growing sweet tooth or a sweet tooth
like I do, I guess I just must be shrinking
all of my shirts, 'cause they're really tight here,
I have no idea why that's happening,
candy prices are at an all-time low,
and that is if it involves Christmas packaging.
But these don't need to be Christmas flavors.
These could be your favorite regular candy.
Whether it's at a warehouse club or a CVS,
the key is to look for Christmas-branded products
that are already your favorite flavors.
For example, green and red M&Ms,
or even those same regular Hershey Kisses
you'd enjoy any day of the year, they're up to 70% off
if you buy them, for example, inside candy cane packaging.
In the number of six spot, toys.
One of the single best purchases you can make
after Christmas at their guaranteed lowest prices
of the year.
So, if you need to stock up for birthdays,
or if you're like my mom planning ahead for Christmas 2023,
you already know the age groups that most of the kids
in your family will be next year,
so you could easily stock up and stow away.
At Target, certain Lego sets will be reduced
right until the end of the year.
Little Tikes deals are on clearance at Target,
as well as the LOL-branded products,
and some of the large bouncy backyard place sets
are all at their lowest prices of the year,
as are every conceivable board game.
A great grab if you can imagine being cooped up inside
with little to do.
Not just at Target,
but there's also a huge selection of board games at Walmart.
And speaking of board games,
is it just me or are there somehow 18,000
different editions of Monopoly,
all of a sudden on sale this year?
What is going on with Monopoly?
In the number seven spot, small appliances
equal big deals after Christmas,
if you know where to look.
And if you don't commonly associate small appliances
with Kohl's, a reminder that right beside
their cookware section, you will find some awesome
small appliance deals on clearance.
Huge small kitchen brand names like Dash, KitchenAid,
Cuisinart, as well as some of the air fryer-related brands
like Gourmia and PowerXL, all heavily reduced.
At Best Buy, you will see some blender promotions,
including some of the Vitamix products marked down
as part of their year-end schedule.
And at Target, the better blender deals are tied
to the NutriBullet and Ninja brands,
as well as Oster and Hamilton Beach.
In the number eight spot,
before I get to Uggs and some surprises,
outdoor tactical camping and hunting-related products
are an amazing grab after Christmas.
And for sporting goods, strangely enough,
kayaks and boat-related products are the one exception.
The prices I'm seeing right now locally
are not as good as Black Friday,
so I'd approach this category with caution.
At Dick's Sporting Goods, tailgating canopies
and camping chairs are all reduced,
and many of them at clearance pricing.
And camo equals clearance right now at Walmart,
with some incredible prices,
but unfortunately, limited stock.
Targets, holsters, carrying cases,
and big reductions from brands like Allen
are all at some of the lowest prices of the year.
And also for hunting or any outdoor enthusiast
in your family, tactical gears and clothing,
extremely well priced at Scheels.
If you have one of these stores in your state,
hiking boots are also a considerably strong clearance find
right now at almost any retailer.
And from hiking boots to Uggs,
a brand I don't quite understand,
but many of you are obsessed with it, including my wife,
so I've decided to include it and not interject
any personal opinions on style because
you guys love your Uggs.
The Ugg slippers,
the traditional Uggs that I've seen some women wear
in the month of May for no reason that I can quite grasp,
are all reduced across the board.
Even some of the Ugg rain boots,
those flat shoe slipper-type things, on sale.
And if you would like links to some of the great Ugg deals
that you can find after Christmas,
expand the video description box for your hookup.
A reminder, I do use affiliate links,
which means I benefit monetarily
if you are kind enough to use one of my links.
For the next spot on my list
for your four-legged family members,
before I get to those bonus buy surprises, pet beds.
One of the best purchases you can make after Christmas.
In fact, if you buy a pet bed after Christmas,
the price could be up to 60% better than what you saw
if you were purchasing it in October.
At PetSmart, right now,
you'll find pet beds of all types and sizes,
including some really well-made options for older dogs
or dogs with arthritis, at 10 to $12 per plush pet bed.
And at Home Goods,
which is a store that you might not commonly associate
with pet products, they are cranking out clearance deals
on some of the largest pet beds
that I've seen this store carry.
Of course, at Home Goods,
where it would appear things are on sale every day,
just make sure you are in fact
purchasing a product that's on clearance.
I do have a store secrets video dedicated to Home Goods,
and many of your other favorite retailers,
so you can always ensure you are getting the lowest price.
Now, for the bonus buys before I get to video games.
Fragrances from most major brands
are one of the best purchases you can make after Christmas.
Last year, I actually noticed
that some of the so-called Valentine's Day
perfume and cologne sales were actually markups.
So if you find a fragrance or scent or in particular,
there is a brand that you like that's being discontinued,
now is certainly a fantastic time to stock up.
And for all of the gamers out there,
or parents or grandparents of gaming enthusiasts,
while there are no console deals right now,
as most stores cranked out their Oculus Quest to X-Box
and PS5 promotions prior to Christmas,
the games to accompany your favorite system
are significantly marked down right now on clearance.
And more importantly,
thank you to all of you who have watched or subscribed
who've turned your notifications on,
or who've invited me to become a frugal member
of your family.
I love you guys.
You gave myself, my daughter, and my wife,
a 2021 beyond anything I could've ever anticipated.
I'm gonna take a very short break
and then I'll be back firing
on all cylinders for a 2022 beyond belief.
I love you. Thanks for watching. Bye bye.
