CONSUMERS can get unbelievable discounts at several major retailers this month as part of post-Christmas promotions. The limited-time deals will be gone fast, and there are some special dates to watch out for before it's too late. It's no secret that the holiday season is the busiest shopping time of the year.
Americans were expected to spend between $900 and $2,100 on Christmas gifts and supplies in 2024, per CBS News . Black Friday always kicks off the sales, which typically continue through December 25. Even after, through New Year's Day , many retail giants continue to offer deals on Christmas decorations for the following year or a variety of merchandise.

For example, Amazon's typical return policy allows a 30-day window, but those who bought merchandise between November 1 and December 31, 2024, can make returns until January 31, 2025. There's only a special stipulation with Apple products for the e-commerce giant, which can only be brought back through January 15.
