It’s traditional for many to cap a long season of Christmas shopping with more shopping once the holiday has passed. They spend gift cards and cash and exchange clothes that were the wrong size, wrong color or just plain wrong.
However, people tend to treat gifts as “found money” and worry less about using the dollars wisely. But a little thought can make your after-Christmas dollars go a lot farther:

- KNOW WHAT A DEAL IS: Don’t blindly assume you’re getting a good deal just because you’re shopping on Dec. 26. Stores know people will be spending gift cards and are less likely to scrutinize prices.

You can find good discounts on items like coats, hats and snow shovels that get less likely to sell with each passing day, because stores know they have to unload them. But more evergreen items like video game systems are much less likely to be on sale.

- WHAT TO TARGET: You will probably find the best deals on clothing, says Dan de Grandpre, editor-in-chief of Dealnews.com, as clothing stores clear out what’s left of their inventory and get ready for new merchandise.However, retailers stocked up somewhat cautiously this year. You might find a great deal on, say, a coat, but it might not be the ideal color or style.

Wondering what stores are open on Christmas Day 2010? Hardly any.

Even though more stores than usual stayed open this Thanksgiving, and plenty of stores kept later hours this Christmas Eve, stores will widely be closed as typical on Christmas Day.
It's one of the few days every year in which nearly all businesses are closed across the country. Of course, this year Christmas falls on a Saturday, only solidifying the day off for many.
Walmart, Target, Kmart, Old Navy and Toys R Us were open on Christmas Eve, but will all be closed Christmas Day this year.
However, if you need to make a quick run to the store, Walgreens locations across the country will be open, and many CVS locations will also be open.
