Graduation Savings Hack Alert! Buy New Year’s Decor NOW for 2025 Grad Parties
Have a graduation coming up? This Happy Friday reader has a tip for you! 🎓
If you have a loved one graduating in the near future, you’ll want to pay attention to this brilliant hack from Happy Friday reader, Mary.
Instead of waiting for graduation week when stores charge full price for decorations, Mary buys her supplies in advance – right after New Year’s!
Check out this clever way Mary saves on graduation decorations:
“Just wanted to share a tip I used for both my kids’ graduations. Walgreens carries yearly balloons in the New Year selection. I was lucky enough to get them when they went on clearance. Made for a fun addition to [the] graduation decorations.”
What a smart way to score a deal on “graduation” decorations, Mary! 🙌
Shopping New Year’s clearance is such a genius way to find cheap “2025” dated decorations. In addition to balloons, shoppers can probably find discounts on apparel, picture frames, gifts, and more!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice! I’ll certainly be using your tip in the future and I’m sure many Hip2Save readers will too!
Hip Tip: In addition to Walgreens, you can find cheap New Year’s decorations at Hobby Lobby. Right now, they are up to 40% off! Consider scooping up items like discounted confetti or glitter picks. Don’t forget to check out other retailers too!
