Farmers Hit the Jackpot in Kansas Oil Boom
With so many post-holiday deals cropping up now that Christmas 2006 is over (see the "Top5ive Best Post Holiday Deals,"), does it make good financial sense to start shopping now? Unless you are very organized, I'd say no.
I tried advance Christmas shopping two years ago. I bought Santa-themed gifts for 50% off in the weeks after the holidays. Then I put them aside and promptly forgot all about them.
This year I finally managed to give away much of that loot. But the deals I had so excitedly snatched up had long since lost their allure. When I gave them to friends and family, I could hardly remember why or where I made the purchases. What good is giving someone a fancy hand-made Christmas tree ornament if their is no story behind it?
