Well hopefully this finds you basking in the glow of the recent holidays! Either that or you are like me and pretty much exhausted due to all the activities! What I have found that is very fun and frugal as well is to look out for the best after Christmas sales! I save back some money each year to get things that either we did not get for Christmas that we wanted and needed or to find excellent sales on clothing and other items that I have been holding off on until now.

Case in point, my daughter has really been wanting an Aeropostale hoodie. They have been retailing for around $40-$50 each. I just found an excellent after Christmas sale and bought 3 hoodies for $12-$15 each. This way she gets 2 hoodies and I found one for myself that I could not resist buying. They have their T shirts on sale for $5 right now and jeans for $19.98! They also have a coupon you can get $10 off a $40 purchase in their stores at the present time.

Bath and Body Works is one of the only places I buy shower gel or bubble bath. I love their scents and after learning how to make my own bath products I am very picky on what I use here which is purchased retail. Right now they have their shower gel/body wash and other products in their Signature Collection on sale for $6.00 each or 3 for $15.00. Their tubes of lotions are $3.00 right now. You cannot beat that deal! I have a $25.00 gift certificate and I am definitely going to take advantage of that one! Join thier email list and you can be in the know as to when they have these great sales as well!

Those are two examples of ways that you can make your bucks go further! The key here is to not spend them all before Christmas so you can have some extra goodies in your hands by the time the New Year roles around! So check these out and I bet that you will agree they are two of the best Christmas sales around!
