Do you shop the day after Christmas?

The day after Christmas sales have never appealed to me. I'm not much of a shopper to begin with and it really is the last thing I want to do after celebrating Christmas. But I think I stand alone in that regard.
My cousin eagerly called me to see if I'd be back in town in time to go shopping today, saying she didn't get her after Christmas bargains last year and has regretted it ever since.
I declined, but did have to head out to buy a few essentials after being gone for the holiday: toothpaste, paper towels, you know. And while I was out...
what I saw astonished me. Groves of people were out and about, I suppose getting good deals, exchanging gifts and such. I'm wondering do you shop the day after Christmas? What do you look for? Let me know.....

Via Facebook: Tamara: I buy wrapping paper, Christmas party goods and napkins and stores them for next year in a big plastic tub in the garage. They are sometimes up to 75% off. We entertain a lot at the holidays with church groups and office parties, and those paper goods can really add up if you buy them in early December. (I actually do the same thing for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentines day and Fourth of July.)

I am a single father, and I love your cookbooks. I have cooked so many items from Desperation Dinners, I have them memorized, or can find the best ones due to the dirty pages.
