Where to find the best post-holiday sales of the season

As 2019 comes to an end, shoppers can take advantage of the best deals.

The last days of 2019 are drawing near and that means that retailers are clearing their leftover holiday stock to make room for the hottest new products.

In fact, the day after Christmas is one of the best days of the year to find deep discounts in plenty of key categories — from winter clothing and holiday decor to jewelry and top-selling electronics.

To help us comb through the best deals, NBC's Stephanie Ruhle stopped by TODAY with tips for getting great bargains right now and the weeks following.

Best After Christmas Clothing Deals & Sales

Now is a great time to think about the clothing you'll need as you move into the colder winter months of the new year. Maybe you still need a pair of snow boots but forgot to add them to your holiday wish list. Thankfully, you can score those (plus tons of other winter essentials) with some deep discounts this week.

1. Macy's

There are a bunch of items on sale at Macy's for the holiday season including 50% off coats and 25% off shoes and dresses. We've also got our eyes on their giant activewear sale that runs through Jan. 31. Use promo code "JOY" for an additional 15% off select sale and clearance items.

These Nike sneakers have extra cushioning and are extremely breathable, making them perfect for everyday wear or going to the gym.

We love this puffer coat because it's water-resistant and has a cozy, faux fur-trimmed hood. It's warm (but not overly bulky) and perfect for snowy weather in the upcoming months.

2. Target

After Christmas, you can score up to 70% off clothing and shoes, including up to 50% off sweaters and jeans starting at $12. Don't wait — stock up on winter essentials before they sell out. The retailer is also offering up to 25% off home items.
