Last Minute Christmas Shopping Sales Abound
Yesterday I braved the rapids and actually headed to the mall for a few last minute gifts the weekend before Christmas. This is something I rarely do, since I typically have everything wrapped and am enjoying filling the house with the smell of Christmas baking. I was pleasantly surprised to find both stores that I planned to visit were offering great sales. At Godiva, everything I bought was on the 25% off table of Christmas gifts (they don’t want to be left with any Christmas decorated boxes after the holiday is over). I was able to buy more and larger gifts than I normally would, and still spend less. As an added bonus, I also received a $10 gift certificate to be used in January. At Bath and Body Works, the sales on gift baskets were great also perfect for my needs. I had two remaining gifts to buy and these were exactly what I needed at 30% off. I left the mall in far less than an hour, gifts in tow, and money saved.
