One of the most well kept secrets are the Day after Christmas Sale held by furniture and home furnishing stores like Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Container Store and Renovation Hardware. The sales generally run until the New Year and regular items are deep discounted, some greater than 50 percent off. We expect pretty sizable discounts given the poor state of the economy.
