What to Buy in December 2021
A new month equals new deals! Are you ready to score some amazing December Strategic Shopping deals?
#1 - Gift Cards
December is definitely the month to find all kinds of amazing gift card deals.
I just received an email from both Dunkin Donuts and Texas Roadhouse advertising a gift card deal.
They have their annual buy $30.00 and $25.00 in gift cards, and get a $5.00 gift card free deal running this month.
Offers vary from restaurant to restaurant.
Check-in with your favorite restaurants.
Watch for sales at both the grocery stores and drug stores.
Grocery stores, including my local store, Price Chopper, will be offering extra store points when purchasing gift cards this month.
Of course, Amazon is another great place to score some gift cards during the holiday season.both
#2 - Toys, Toys, Toys
You don’t have to be a Strategic Shopping expert to realize that toys will be on sale in December!
Everywhere you look there are toy sales.
Don’t forget about the drug store toy sales.
Walgreens is running a lot of buy two get one free toy sales, and the toys are only $6.99!
You can use your drug store rewards to pay down the total too.
Of course, Amazon sells all of the trending toys that your children and grandchildren are asking for this Christmas.
Best of all, you can always find a great deal on Amazon!
Did you know that many small business owners run Amazon stores?
#3 - Personal Care Products
Most Strategic Shoppers don’t lack for personal care products!
All of the drugstores will be running all kinds of fabulous deals on things like razors, face masks, hairdryers, hair curlers, hair straighteners, and more in December.

December is definitely the month to get cookware at a great price.

I love the baking sales! I stock up on flour, sugar, chocolate chips, and so much more this time of year!
It seems like every store in town is running some kind of baking sale deal.
Don’t forget to check out stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar.
#7 - Tools and Hardware
Do you need tools?
Are you planning on buying any as gifts this year?
December always brings great tool deals.
#8 - Bicycles
My children were always asking for bicycles for Christmas.
I would tell them no since we live in the North Country and the ground is piled high with snow for months on end.
I didn’t want them to be disappointed to get a gift that they wouldn’t be able to use for many, many months.
They didn’t care. They just wanted a new bike.
I was surprised to see my local Walmart stocked back up on bicycles.
#9 -DVDs/Blu Rays
Movies always make the gift-giving list at the Foote house!
December runs some great deals on DVDs and Blu-rays.
Do you give movies as Christmas gifts?

I know, I have been telling you for the past three months that this is the best time to buy wedding dresses and supplies, but it is true.
Are you getting married in 2022?
Then, now is the time to buy!
#12 - Christmas
December equals Christmastime! Every store in town has some kind of great sale running!
Make sure you grab enough to fill up your gift closet for 2022.
You are most likely already spending money on gifts in December.
Think about all of those birthdays, anniversaries, showers, weddings, etc.

#13 - Hanukkah
Christmas isn’t the only thing being celebrated in December.
Hanukkah is a huge holiday!
Don’t forget to watch for sales in stores, including the grocery stores for kosher foods being marked down.
