Here's your strategy to get the most out of post-Christmas sales. (Dyson, Amazon, Walmart)
Just because Christmas 2023 is behind us doesn't mean the gifting is over. Now it's time to treat yourself! Plenty of retailers are still hosting massive after-Christmas sales, with some discounts that rival (and even surpass) those from Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The reason is simple. "You’ll notice major post-holiday sales roll in now through the end of the year, as retailers clear out their stock for the year ahead to make room for new inventory," shared Bella Gerard, Rakuten’s Shopping and Trend Advisor, with Yahoo Life.
There's no better time to use up some of those gift cards you found in your stocking. With so many sales across all your favorite retailers (including Amazon, Walmart, Target and more) there's plenty of saving to go around.
So what's the best approach to get the best savings?
"This is the time to stock up on winter gear for next winter season, or additions to your current winter wardrobe with a new jacket or coat, as retailers are getting rid of winter stock in preparation for spring arrivals," Gerard advises. "The post-holiday season is also a great time to refresh your home, as you can find bedding, linens and other home products typically more discounted than other times during the year."
Other can't-miss finds: "Starting now through the end of the year, you can score massive savings on exercise and wellness equipment."

We still have a good few months of winter ahead of us, and what better way to beat the frigid weather than by cooking up some of your favorite comfort meals? With that in mind, now might be a good time to upgrade some of those kitchen essentials that could use replacing. A new knife set, perhaps? Or maybe a powerful blender if yours is starting to conk out and you're eager to enjoy more smoothies in the new year. Whatever you're looking for, chances are we've found a quality option with a delectable discount.

"Finally sharp (and safe) knives," said one happy home cook. "I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen."

You know it’s time to replace your vacuum when you run it over a mess, but it just won’t pick it up. Well, if you're going to upgrade, you might as well go all out with this Dyson while it's on sale. This stick vacuum is cordless, so you can move it around the house without getting tangled up. And, it's actually a two-in-one device: It converts to a handheld vacuum for cleaning the car, stairs and furniture. Additionally, the bagless vacuum’s whole-machine filtration system traps 99.9% of particles, dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. (It’s also great for picking up pet hair.)
"This sleek and easy to assemble vacuum is up in running in one minute," said one Walmart shopper. "Because it is so powerful and portable it makes cleaning so much easier. Pulls up pet hair and fine dust and dirt. Attachments are super helpful for hard to reach spots and cleaning the car."
Bye bye, fast food crumbs and pet hair! With this No. 1 bestselling car vac, you'll actually feel good about giving friends a ride.

Been eyeing one of these bad boys? You'd be wise to pounce while you can save $80. At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time (though it won't take up too much room in your kitchen). This is the brand I use at home, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. Since it does all of the mixing for you, it'll give your arms a break, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients — a must when making large batches.
"I don't like to spend that much money on kitchen appliances, but [this] is worth it," promised a happy home cook. "I haven't used my handheld mixer since I got this. If you have aches and pains in your hands, shoulders or arms, it's worth the money. It's very good quality; heavy, so I keep mine out on the counter. Doesn't matter, because I use it a lot."

Featuring the brand's proprietary Thermakind (a long-lasting, nontoxic, ceramic nonstick coating), it's safe for all stove tops and oven-safe up to 450°F.
"Some of my favorite features are the dual spouts that make for easier pouring and straining, as well as the lid, which has a small opening on one side in case you need to let steam escape. It's clear that they really thought about the smaller details when designing this pan, which I appreciate," shared Yahoo's Britt Ross in her Always Pan review.

A TV for $70? Yes, indeed! This Yahoo fan-favorite is back at its incredible low, incredibly appealing price point.

The MacBook Air needs no introduction. With 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, Retina display, and the loads of other features it brings to bear, this laptop has more than earned its reputation.

"Great commuter laptop that's perfect for students," one fan said. "I bought the 2020 M1 MacBook this year to work on my assignments on the fly.
