If you are looking for a good way to stock up on various items, after Christmas sales are the way to go. Here are some things to keep in mind as you shop after Christmas sales.

Need some extra cash for the holidays? While it’s getting to be a little late to start the hunt (remember this for the summer seasonal job hunt), there are people looking to hire. According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, retailers will hire between 500,000 and 600,000 this season (ABC).

The U.S. auto industry is likely to see a bit of a sales rebound in September over poor numbers in August, with an uptick in retail sales to individual drivers, a Barclays Capital analyst said on Monday.

While the unemployment rate currently hovers around 10% the “underemployed” rate is reported to be around 17%. If you find yourself in either of these categories or are just looking for some extra money this holiday season there are, surprise, plenty of companies hiring part-time seasonal workers.
