Things To Buy After Christmas
After Christmas Sales And January - February Bargains
While most people shop for Christmas gifts, did you know that the bigger and more expensive things are actually sold after Christmas and after New Year at bargain prices?? So here are some of the things to buy after Christmas, ideas that have been gathered from people who are usually saving the most money during their after Christmas shopping.
But why would anyone buy expensive things after Christmas? The reason is because most shops start their big yearly sales right after Christmas. While the Christmas holidays are perfect for gifts (toys, books, jewelry, etc), the after Christmas sales are geared towards things people need at home (like TVs, furniture or floor heating systems), but can't afford until the prices have been thoroughly slashed.
Curious what things to buy with Christmas money? Enjoy browsing for some of the most popular and best things people buy after Christmas and New Year!
Snow Blowers
#1 Snow Blowers
Did you know that snow blowers are among the most popular things people buy during the after Christmas sales? They are by no means cheap, and they're always needed during winter to clean the area outside of the home. So what better time to invest in a new snow blower than when it's the cheapest to get in the year?
First of all, why would I recommend a snowblower for after Christmas? Well if you are living in an area similar to where I lived up till recently, it literally snows till March - or April! And that means snow being around the house and on the road several months in the year, well until after the winter holidays are over.
I haven't seen online the particular snowblower we used to have, but with technological advances of today, it's no wonder. These days all you need to do is start the machine and steer it in the right direction. Our machine was good, but the one I've been looking at on Amazon definitely takes the cake.
The Snow Joe Ultra Snow Thrower is a great alternative to those heavy gas-powered machines. It can easily clear 18 inches in one go up to a 20 feel length away.
If your home needs the snow ploed around it - say around the driveway or sidewalk - in winter in a hurry, this one will do it in a jiffy. It's easy to maneuver, it's quite cheap compared to those big expensive ones and basically it's a single stage thrower, meaning it works best when the snow around the house hasn't frozen yet, it's still relatively fresh. Then it's truly shining at work. However don't get me wrong, it still does a good job when the snow is heavy and has already set.
The name Snow Joe is a well known and reliable name when it comes to winter equipment and it will do its job even against the harshest of snowsorms.

Televisions
Popular TVs With Price Drops After Christmas
#2 TVs
Televisions are another expensive home accessory that many people simply can't afford until the sales are on. Sure, you can get some $100 TVs, but if you really want a huge screen with the best view for the family home entertaining, then you must wait until the Christmas shopping is over, and then hop on the bandwagon. Only then you will find the true bargain of the year!
I should know because that's when we bought our latest Samsung - after the last Christmas holidays. We bought it half price and it was well worth it. The TV has a big screen and when you're somewhat further away from it, gosh the screen is so clear, it's almost like you're right there. I remember the old TVs that we used to have back in the 60s, we've just switched from black and white TVs to color ones, you you know 14-16 inches big, and I can't keep thinking how lucky I am to be alive at a time when technological changes are so massive and so visible...these are fun and exciting times to be around!
One of the things I like to be is consistent in my shopping. That means for me sticking with a trusted brand is usually a given. And Samsung is a brand which I trust - have trusted for a long time in television, and not only. So I know that when I buy a Samsung, I will get quality. No question about it in my mind.
Now I'm not talking specifically about design here. I mean especially in LED TVs, the design is about the same with very tiny variations, if at all. The components, however, all talk about quality. There are no cheap pieces integrated anywhere inside or outside of this television.
The display is 1080p which is great, it has super clarity with an excellent refresh rate. Sound is great as well. We all know about Dolby Surrounded, and this TV has it, along with numerous options that allow customizing in so many ways.

Fitness Equipment
#3 Fitness Equipment
Fitness equipment is right up there between the top 5 things to buy after Christmas. Exercise equipment and home gyms are by no means cheap, and this is truly the best time to get geared for the next years fitness season. If your New Year resolution includes losing weight and shaping up, buy your own home gym equipment is the first step into actually keeping that resolution.
There are various things that one can have at their home gym, but for me an adjustable weight bench is right at the top. It usually has a ton of options for exercising pretty much every muscle in the body in an easy way. Also they have several attachments that can be used, including dumbbells, cages and whatever else one might need.
Office Supplies
#4 Office Tools And Supplies
Expensive office tools and supplies also seen great price cuts and increased sales after Christmas - actually around end of January, early February. Printers, scanners, office furniture, binders, shredders, they all sell like hotcakes during this period. Every business, be it for profit, schools or non-profit organizations need to stock up on office supplies, and what better time of the year when all is at it cheapest price!
Other Needed But Usually Expensive Office Equipment
Cameras
#5 Cameras
Cameras are not cheap. Sure, there are cheap cameras but GOOD cameras, with all the latest frills are definitely not cheap. So if you want to replace your old, worn out camera, wait until the serious sales start after the Christmas holidays. Then go really shopping for those bargains in digital cameras, video cameras, webcams and all the necessary accessories!

Power Tools
#6 Power Tools For Him
Power tools for the home (and for the hobbyist in the family) are again, not cheap. You can easily run up to a few thousand dollars if you need to buy some serious horse power tools. This is why the after Christmas sales are the best time to get your dad or husband that tool that he's been secretly craving for (and making you crazy about) throughout the entire year!
Here are just some of the powertools that are on sales after Christmas.
