Today, most stores will be reducing their holiday items 50% or more. It’s a great time to buy cards for next year as well as hostess gifts and serving items for yourself. Ornaments, wrapping, ribbons, candy, nuts, cookies, and other holiday confections too. Be sure to take your coupons with you for paper products that you can use on items such as storage bags and containers with holiday themes on them (my left-overs and frozen food don’t mind if they are in Christmas bags and containers!!). Check for holiday-themed soaps, tissues, and bath supplies as well as pet gifts and some kids holiday games and toys. It’s a great way to start your 2013 Christmas shopping. Also, remember solid red paper products can be used for Valentine’s Day as well as throughout the year!
