A number of holiday gift and decor items were also on post-Christmas clearance already. Aren’t these Crofton baking pan gift sets cute? And, a much better bargain at $4.99 than at their original $9.99 price.

Most of the non-food items were located in the Aisle of Shame, and were starting to get pretty picked over already.

I may have felt compelled to grab one of these cat houses for the three bad kitties, in the vain hope that they’ll stop fighting over the cardboard cat scratching playhouse…
Clearance shopping tips

Let’s wind up with just a couple of ALDI clearance shopping tips — whether you’re looking at Christmas clearance, or throughout the year. First: Even if your store has a designated clearance section, always keep an eye out on the regular shelves. The seasonal beef biltong sticks pictured above, for instance, were in their normal seasonal home next to the beef jerky at my store.

Secondly: Always check your receipt. Sometimes the clearance prices don’t get entered in the system or get entered incorrectly, and you’ll want to try to catch that before leaving the store.

Lastly: Never assume, when it comes to clearance prices. While most of the pre-printed holiday clearance tags in my store were for 50% off original price, many of the toys were only 25% off. And, while many seasonal food items were on sale, some were still stubbornly hanging on at full price.
