One Clear Dot

I didn’t go in for too many of the sales the stores had the day after Christmas. Most of them already had the same sale prices before Christmas this year. I was surprised at how many stores were giving 30% to 50% off of Christmas merchandise before the holiday even hit.

My daughter and I did wander into Target and Dillard’s to return a couple of items, though. The crowds were horrific. The parking at the mall was worse than the days leading up to Christmas. I was flabbergasted to hear that most retail stores still don’t think they are going to meet their end-of-year sales goals. It seemed to me that half the county was out shopping on Friday.

We did find a lot of marked down pet items at one store, though. That was our big coup of the day. There were fancy collars, sweaters, pet beds, gourmet treats, and lots of cool grooming tools. I’m not sure what having pet items marked down on December 26 was supposed to accomplish, but it worked for us.
