Like me, you can't afford to buy heaps of new items during the holiday season?
Wait a few days, you'll save up to 50%!
The holiday season is always full of novelties and gadgets of all kinds coming out on the market:game consoles, kitchen utensils, clothing, food...
The problem is, these items come at a price, and most of the time that price is way over our budget.
The solution? If you really want to treat yourself without breaking the bank, wait ten days after Christmas . As if by magic (the magic of Christmas, ha ha), prices will have dropped by 20 to 50%! Here are some safe bets:
1 Toys and games. From January 2 or 3, take the test at Joué Club or Toy's R Us:all the shelves will be covered with labels announcing 20% discounts or "3 for the price of 2" , even on articles released the previous month.
I who am a big fan of board games, I always buy two or three at the beginning of January. Usually, by waiting for this time of year, I save the price of one of these games . There you go:3 for the price of 2!
2. Champagne . I told you about it in a previous article:champagne producers, overwhelmed with unsold items, cut the price of their bottles just after Christmas. It's now or never to get very good vineyards for less than 20€.
My advice:go for a walk in the champagne section of Leclerc, Monoprix and Super U at the beginning of the year. If you really want champagne at Christmas, buy it in January or February and wait until the following Christmas Eve:you'll save a lot of money.
3. Clothes. The sales start in mid-January, but from the very first days of the year, the shops cut the price of their unsold Christmas items, whether on sweaters, dresses, shoes...
Take a look at Celio, Zara, André and company. You will find there, without even looking too long, a whole series of unsold items whose price has been reduced by 50% . I don't know about you, but I'll be buying my new pair of sneakers in January.
And you? Are you planning to take advantage of this trick next year? Do you know of any other ways to save all year round? Comments are waiting for you!
Let's do the math together. Imagine that, during the holidays, you buy 3 bottles of champagne at 30€ each, a video game at 70€, a dress at 40€ and a tie at 20€. The total costs you €190 (€60+€70+€40+€20). In short, a nice sum of Christmas.
Now imagine all of these items being sold at a 20% discount in the month of January.You have a total savings of 38 € (190x20%). For me, this sum represents a week and a half of races. No more hesitation.
