Best of After-Christmas Shopping

After the stress of the holiday season, a little retail therapy might be in order. This is also the best time of year to stock up on Christmas décor and necessities for next year's holiday season. Many retailers offer great after Christmas sales on clothing and shoes too, especially if sales weren't fantastic before the holidays. For the best in after Christmas sales, just check out any of the stores in our list and make a little extra space in the garage for all the great stuff you'll bring home.

If that buttercup yellow sweater from your favorite aunt just isn't going to work out, then it may be time for a quick trip to Macy's to find something you'll really love. There are multiple stores throughout the Sacramento area where you can find great after Christmas sales. Make sure you read through the circulars for extra coupons and savings directly after the holidays.

Toys "R" Us
