After Christmas sales: FAQ
When will Christmas sales begin?
Look out, folks - the Christmas sales have already started. Holiday discounts are already well under way, and most retailers are getting in on the action right now. While better offers might appear in the immediate runup to Xmas, the current slate of deals are pretty good anyway.
In all likelihood, these will then be rebranded as Boxing Day sales for gamers once Christmas itself is out of the way. That'll be your last chance to save some cash ahead of the New Year.
Should you wait for Boxing Day or January sales instead?
While there are going to be some head-turning reductions in this year's Boxing Day sales and in January, they probably won't be much better than the current Christmas sales (in most cases, they're actually the same offers with a new banner pasted over the top). If you see something you like now, don't hesitate to pick it up as a result.
When do the after Christmas sales end?
Much like other traditional sales periods, the after Christmas sales don't really end - in a way. They just morph into the January sales with retailers keen to extend the value-busting opportunities for folk and to keep shifting items and products. While it seems a bit relentless, it does mean that there's an extensive sales period after Christmas, and so our chances for picking up bargains continue for a while as we head into the new year.
