I havn't been to a store since before Christmas...anyone else?

Unless you count the grocery store for some basics and laundry detergent...I wouldn't know if there are any good after holiday deals out there or not! We only have a few returns so have not ventured out for that either. My friends think I am off my rocker...but I think I am just shopped out!

I know how you feel, but I did *venture* into the mall after New Year's. It wasn't pretty. The stores looked absolutely wiped out. In fact, in Marshall's, where they normally keep all the winter coats, they had it full of pillows?? I'm sure they are waiting for their late-January shipment of bikinis that none of us can wear until June.

I hate shopping at this time of year--no good merchandise. So save yourself a wasted trip.

Same here! The crowds before Christmas are bad enough - I really can't face it all again in the January sales...

I've just been to the grocery store as well.
I would like to go see if there are any holiday markdowns left on the shelves, I've had so much company over the holidays I haven't had time!

I hate shopping no matter what season...typically I don't venture into any store except the grocery until about March! Christmas shopping sends me over the edge!

Well, I've made up for all of you. We have hit EVERY store for deals...multiple Targets at 50% off AND 75% off. You name the store, we've been there. I even left work early to go to Grapevine Mills to see what Ann Taylor Loft had on sale. We buy virtually nothing at full price, so after holiday sales get lots of our money. Still waiting for our local Hallmarks to go more than 40% off!

I was at Target with DH last night picking up random things (laundry detergent, dog bones, face wash)...noticed that Target's christmas stuff was 75% off (I already bought my Christmas cards for next year at 50% off)...but I did notice last week that we were low on 'gift tags'...so I checked to see if they had any left last night.

heheh...a pack of 75 sticky gift tags for...24 cents!! love it! hehehe

I also "cleaned up" at sales at Gap, American Eagle, and Abercrombie...haven't hit DSW yet...but I have coupons so I have too soon!

I've been hitting the stores since the 26th. I've gotten alot of sale items, especially Target at 50% & 75%. I went back there yesterday and they are practically cleaned out. there won't be much when it hits 90% off.

I love shopping, crowds or no crowds!

I haven't been at any stores either. That's going to change this weekend, I have to take something back at Target and the JC Penney Home Store.

I think receiving our gas bill took any desire for shopping right out of me...$356! It has also been SO gloomy here...I have lost track of how many days without sun, so that has me in lockdown mode. Better for our budget, still hoping to take a WDW trip this summer, and DD sweet 16, want to finfish the basement, need a new car....MAYBE we will be able to swing ONE of those...(guess which one ) and then I can catch up on any shopping withdrawl there!

Aside from a trip to the ER with my granddaughter the day after Christmas, I hadn't even been out of the house until today.. I walked to Stewarts (about a block away) and then tonight I took a quick run over to Staples to get something I needed for my scrapbook projects..

I really have no interest in shopping - or the sales - at all..

 

[Sparx]

I was out shopping two days after the fact!

 

[grlpwrd]

No, I've been getting deals at retail stores and online.

I'm done now, though.

Really? Ours had everything Christmas related 50% off the day after Christmas, they really didn't have much though.

Pam , the stores are cleaned out around here! I went to Yankee Candle 1 week ago looking for tarts, holidays scents, and they had NOTHING left. A lot of the shelves were empty, nothing to buy.
