Today is December 27, and that means you’re headed into a weekend of year-end After Christmas deals and price drops.
Today is the last day for After Christmas sales is 2017, so we’ve updated our list of US deals from stores like Amazon, Walmart and Target.
Below, you’ll find that just because the holiday are over doesn’t mean American retailers aren’t desperate to inch up their profits in the remaining hours of 2017.
You can find deeply discounted After Christmas bargains at stores aiming to either profit off of your returns and make you of your Christmas gift cards.
Here’s how we can help: we’ve researched all of the deals and wound up with 30 individual rollback prices – and yes, we checked them twice. PSA: most deals will expire at the end of today, Sunday, December 31. Once January 1,2018 rolls around in a few hours, it’s back to the original MSRP for many of them.
We’ve also applied our expertise to finding the best over US stores where you can find the top After Christmas sales. That’s what we’ll begin with below on this newly updated page.
But first, who are After Christmas sales online shoppers exactly? Three specific types of people come to mind. First, anyone who just got gift cards (that’s a lot of people right now). Second, anyone who didn’t get what they wanted on Christmas Day yesterday (hands up – that’s a lot of you, too). And, third, anyone who is returning something today (again, that is a lot of people).
Pro tip: gift cards often can’t be returned to stores in most US states (Hawaii being an exception), and there’s usually an expiration date stamped on the fine print. So better use them now with these After Christmas sales before it’s too late or you forget about them completely.
Whether you’re returning something you didn’t want (and certainly didn’t ask for) or spending your gift cards, here are the best year-end price drops, based on our research of stores in the US. It spans sales from A to Z – Amazon and eBay to Target and Zappos.
The most frequent question we get is: where did I shop for After Christmas sales. The simple answer is online, but the more complex answer has forced us to research hundreds of retailers. We’ve boiled it down to the list below, naming the top ten of the most trusted stores in America, all with significant deals.
Here are links the best stores with After Christmas sales for 2017.

There are more After Christmas sales coming through, now that Christmas Day is over and done with. We’ll keep this page updated with more deals and our list fresh every chance we get.
We like to highlight After Christmas sales in our news coverage because it’s the last time you’ll find savings in 2017. Many items will return to their original price in 2018. That’s a problem if you procrastinate on buying that Amazon Echo, for example.
Yes, there may be price drops in 2018 here and there, but everything is on sale at once through these After Christmas Sales and Year-End Deals on Amazon, Walmart and so forth. There’s a better shot you’ll get what you want on December 30 than you will next month in January or February. Deals are rare in the New Year.
The other issues is, through our expertise, we know that CES 2018 is coming up and product refreshes will happen at the event (though many products won’t launch until March at the earliest). You’ll find many gadgets in stock today, but that same tech might be sold out after December. It’s happened to us before.
US stores with After Christmas sales are focusing on everyone returning gifts this week, as they’re already online on their site or in stores. It’s a great opportunity, and has continued into December 30.
You also have all of those consumers who just received gift cards and aren’t quite sure what to spend them on (sadly, you usually can only spend them at one place). It’s “money,” often with an expiration date. That makes these After Christmas deals extra tempting today.
Finally, you can’t always get what you want on Christmas, so it’s nice to see a few price drops lingering around today, so you can pick up what you really want.
After Christmas sales don’t have a refined end date like other online shopping holidays.
