Two Days Left to Shop Before Christmas

As of this writing, December 23rd is just a few hours away. I just returned from an afternoon of shopping. As I enjoy my salad from Lamberts and watch a few episodes of “Blue Eye Samurai,” I wonder what last-minute deals I can score from my favorite retailers.

Every retailer is having a sale. My family and I spent a few hours shopping at the South Shore Mall in Braintree, Mass. The mall was packed which wasn’t a surprise. As we walked around, many people passed by loaded with shopping bags. The stores were packed with customers all seeking rock-bottom Christmas bargains.

I was in search of bargains as well. I wanted to treat myself to a few items on my Christmas list. I managed to snag a pair of Nike high tops on sale for $68 at Macy’s as well as an Adidas shirt for $15 and a purple Levis sweatshirt for $40. I even managed to find a short checkout line near the front entrance of the store!

I went into Primark and H&M which also had a lot of deals (and a lot of customers). Lines were long at H&M as customers purchased markdowns in men's and women’s clothing. There were hats marked down to $5 and jewelry like rings and earrings selling for $3.

If you’re planning to shop on Saturday, December 23rd, be prepared for more crowds and even longer lines. Below are some deals from my favorite retailers for you to check out as you make a mad dash to the Christmas finish line:
