The day after Christmas is one of the best days of the year for bargain shoppers.  It can be a great day to pick up deals on Christmas items for next year, like wrapping paper and Christmas cards.  It’s also a great time to redeem gift certificates that you may have received as a gift.

If you are going to venture out on December 26th in search of bargains, you can save yourself some time by previewing the sales on the website of stores you like to shop at.  At the time of this post many stores such as Amazon, Best BuyBoston Store, and Kohls and do not have previews of their post Christmas sales, but its likely they’ll release previews soon.  However, some stores like JCPenney and Sears do have previews available.

JCPenney will be opening at 5am on Saturday for their after-Christmas Sale.  Visit their website to preview their ad for the store closest to you.  The online ad has coupons for $15 off a purchase over $75 or more, and $10 off a purchase of $50 or more.  Doorbuster sales include towels, hooded sweatshirts, women’s sweaters, and men’s and women’s cold weather accessories.  Their entire stock of holiday tablewear, decor, and trim is 75% off.

Sears is advertising doorbuster sales from 7am to Noon on Saturday.  Notable doorbusters at Sears include an extra 40% off clearance prices, $9.99 Canyon River Blues jeans for the family, and 70% off coats for the family.  Sears also is advertising 20% off all Kenmore appliances; however, before purchasing an appliance, make sure you have researched the Wisconsin “cash for clunker appliances” program that begins January 1, 2010.

December 25th Update – Check out today’s Journal Sentinel for after Christmas sale ads.  Offers include:

  • Boston Store and Macy’s – coupon for $10 off a purchase of $25 or more.  Valid Dec 26th until 1pm.

Get $20 Cash Back on Orders Over $100 at Best Buy When Paying With PayPal

Click here for the Best Buy HomepageThere are two exciting promotions going on at BestBuy.com right now.  If you use a PayPal account for purchases over $100 you will receive $20 cash back.  This promotion ends November 16th or when the Best Buy website indicates that the $20 cash back promotion is over.  The details for this offer are listed below.

Also, BestBuy.com is having an early-bird Thanksgiving Sale this Friday and Saturday, online only.

We tested out the PayPal promotion earlier this week with a purchase of a digital camera.  Unfortunately we missed out on the early bird Thanksgiving sale, but we still had a great experience.  After finding the camera online, we selected in-store pickup.  After the PayPal discount (which is credited to your PayPal account in 2-3 weeks), the camera was cheaper than Amazon.com.  As an added bonus, there were no shipping charges since we could just drive to the local Best Buy store in Milwaukee that we selected during the checkout process.  About 15 minutes after the order was placed, we received an email informing us the camera was available for pickup.  Once we got to Best Buy, we were in and out of the store within five minutes.  The whole process was simple and efficient.

Have you used BestBuy.com to shop online and then used the in-store pickup feature?  If so, please leave a comment and let us know about your experience! Read more
