Today has become known as tradition in some families, and meeting up on the day after Christmas (aka Boxing Day) is no different in 2011, in fact some families have been grabbing these discounted products for years this way. We’re not just talking about cut price gadgets and clothing, but also Christmas trees, decorations, cards and more bought today for Christmas 2012.

This article has taken a look at the many types of bargain hunters, and while these buyers know about the tricks retailers play, they’re glad to play the game and save at the same time. Popular items include winter clothing at more than half price thanks to stores underselling, and toys that were full price a couple of days ago are now drastically reduced, which can cause ill feeling for those that paid the full whack and other shoppers cannot spend enough on cheap toys that make good gifts next year.

Mainstream media will not only report how good the day after Christmas sales are this year, but also warn shoppers that retailers are not stupid. They know shoppers have been eating loads the last couple of days and the yearly New Years resolutions to lose weight will be catered for by the retailer with luring deals, which could include deals on exercise equipment starting today and in the New Years sales.

Another recommendation is to wait a little longer than today; this is due to people returning unwanted gifts, which can then be sold at dirt cheap prices, and we’re sure you’d want to snap these up.

You can see a news report below that explains a little about ways to save on December 26th. Have a watch and remember that the sales today are very repetitive every year, so learn the tricks retailers play and enjoy saving on new products for now and gifts in the future.

Have you ever visited the Day after Christmas sales to buy gifts and decorations for the following year?

According to Suzanne Choney at msnbc.msn.com, Alison Southwick from the Better Business Bureau has been speaking out about the holiday shopping season, and said that every year they hear from consumers who have paid for a supposed deal online, but got nothing in return.

Security software company McAfee has just released its “12 scams of Christmas” list, and it appears that offers of a free Apple iPad is right at the top. Scammers have cottoned on to the fact that the Apple device is one of the most wanted gifts this year, and are distributing bogus offers of a free iPad.

In at number 2 on the list is the “Help! I’ve Been Robbed” scam. This scam sends a bogus distress message to people’s family and friends, requesting that they wire or transfer money in order for them to get home. Another scam mentioned is fake gift cards.

This scam is found on social media site such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. People use sites such as these to promote fake gift cards, with the aim of stealing consumers’ money and information. Another popular scam is the charity one, asking you to donate funds to different charities via spam emails.

You can read more about this via msnbc.msn.com. What are you doing to prepare yourself against scams this Christmas?

Earlier today we looked at Best Buy’s not so good Labor Day Sale, although the site did work, which is less than we can say about Costco at the time of writing. Costco and Home Deport are both known for great deals on special occasions, and with today being Labor Day we expected to see something good.

Those that felt the same way might have been disappointed to get “The server at www.costco.com is taking too long to respond” or a server timeout message. It seems that Costco may be in big demand on Labor Day, so much so that their server cannot handle the load.

This has left people looking for Costco locations and store opening times, rather than seeing them on the “find a warehouse page” that normally works on the official site. Do you know of any good sites that offer Costco store opening times and locations? Are you having problems accessing the official site?

UPDATE: The site is back up now, love the HP dv7t laptop deal.
