I am the king of hitting Christmas clearance to get a deal on stuff to use in the future. I may not use it for a year or two but you had better believe I'll use it someday. I don't often buy much when it is only 50-70% off. I like to get it when it's 75% off or more. Here are a few steals I've gotten when I grab things that everyone else has left behind.
I got these sets from Target. They were still on the shelf at 90% off. I paid $0.50 a piece for them. I knew that I was going to use purple and light blue in 2011 so they were a steal. Plus, you can never have enough silver and gold to add to any other color scheme.. Ornaments this small are perfect for filling glassware and other containers.
I have seperated all the pieces by color so that I can take each color to the room that it's intended for. It saves me tons of times from sorting when I start to decorate. I don't need any silver in the room where I'm decorating with purple. Why add to the clutter by sorting it while using it?
I grabbed these at Dollar General for $0.20 each. Again...small ornaments make great filler. I used these little gold balls with the little purple as filler for my Wine/Tuscan scheme in the kitchen. Even better...the container I filled was a wine glass. It's the perfect accessory in the room!
