Great idea to buy the 90% off cards for the envelopes. I make a ton of cards and envelopes can be pricey. Adding that to my post-Christmas shopping list!

Talking about uses for clearanced Christmas candy – I always stock up on the red/green/silver Hershey’s kisses. I separate out the red and silver ones to use for Valentines Day and the green ones for St. Patrick’s Day; or simply unwrap all of them for your baking needs for many months to come. You can freeze them also, but they stay fresh for months in the cupboard (I usually put them in a ziploc bag)

Something I learned a few years back…(speaking of buying Christmas cards at 90% off just for the envelopes) after the holidays, stores that have card departments, pull the holiday cards and get credit on them, the clerks in the stores just throw the envelopes in the trash and return the cards. If you make arrangements with a store ahead of time they will normally save them for their customers. Worth an ask for the crafters out there!! = o )

What is the approximate timing for the holiday clearance? How long after the holiday can I expect to find items marked down to 90% off?
