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."

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.
