day after Christmas?

Who goes shopping the day after Xmas for wrapping paper, etc. for next year? What time do you head out?

Weird that I'm thinking about this now, but I love a bargain and am going to attempt Walmart and Target this year on the 26th...

If I do go, I don't go until later. The thought of being awake at 6 AM after Christmas is unthinkable for me!Chat Icon

Unless I'm looking for something specific that will sell fast (like a nice fake tree) I go whenever I wake up and get what I can. I value sleep more than wrapping paper and gift tags.

I go out around 9 or 10. It's rare for something to sell out. Target gfit wrap and tags hang around for that week after Christmas. As such I have TONS of gift tags in stock, but will buy more this year Chat Icon

My mom and I used to got to hallmark to buy ornaments when it opened, but it got too crazy. They also only reduce them 40% not 50% anymore Chat Icon

I don't go the DAY after Christmas. But if I'm in the stores that week and see stuff on Clearance, I pick it up.

I have loads of wrapping paper from last year!

the first store I go to after Christmas is Bath & Body Works. I stock up for the rest of the year on body lotions and bath gels. the prices are awesome!

last year I hit The Body Shop and got a bag full of stuff for $10! I am actually still using a toner that I bought last December, for $3 Chat Icon

eta: I also did quite well at VS. I got the body by victoria panties for $3 each! and I also got some other stuff like velour lounge pants for $10 or $15 each.
