What's your strategy for day-after-Christmas shopping?
What are your plans for the day after Christmas?
Dec. 26 may be a Friday but it may not get retailers into the Black, despite desperately slashed prices.
Still, some people will definitely be out with an infusion of Christmas cash and gift cards.
I'm curious --- did anyone put off big purchases or even postpone gift exchanges in the hopes of taking advantage of post-Christmas discounts? It's a good strategy any year, but if you had the time and/or flexible gift recipients, it seemed especially wise.

I'm working today, but even if I wasn't, I have no money to spend on clothing. In fact, I'm embarking on a strict retail diet in 2009, in an attempt to beef up my bank account. Actually, in an attempt to actually open and put money into a bank account. Happy New Year!

My husband and I hit a couple of stores this morning looking for these "desperately slashed prices." To tell you the truth, we didn't find anything that was dramatically (or sometimes even marginally) reduced from where it was the final week before Christmas. Maybe that's why we also didn't see huge crowds out there. To get us to spend any discretionary income right now, stores are going to have to cut deeper than their usual post-Christmas markdowns. We bought very little.
