Do you know about clearance stores? They offer end of series at unbeatable prices. I take this opportunity to find original gifts at prices ranging from 50 to 80% off.
X Price, Noz, Stockomanie,… The gifts that I will place this year under the Christmas tree will come, as every year, mostly from destocking brands. However, no one will see the difference and everyone will appreciate these presents to their fair measure!
To give you an example, I unearthed a wooden construction game at 4.99 €, a real Barbie (real real, huh, not the Chinese imitations that scare all little girls!) at 5.95 € or even a motorcycle helmet for my husband at €39.99. As for my mum, I opted for a lovely cardigan from a brand that I won't mention, which showed 14.50 € (where it is usually sold at 49 €) No mystery, the destocking allows to make real savings!
There is no mystery, all the products offered, which are new and branded most of the time, are discontinued, unsold or stock from stores that have gone bankrupt . That's why they have such low prices.
From games for children to decoration, including crockery, food products or clothing, these brands offer all types of products .
Note that the clothes are always from previous collections, and that food products often have a very close use-by date. Some stores even sell products whose best before date (the quality is not guaranteed at the top but there is no danger in consuming them) has passed. It's up to you to check what's going on before you start!
Most of these brands are located on the outskirts of cities, in industrial areas . There are many websites on which to find their addresses in all the cities of France. I like this one, which I find clear and accessible, but it's only an idea!

I admit that I could not buy so many gifts for Christmas if I had to buy everything in a traditional store. Thanks to destocking signs, I save an average of €250 on my Christmas expenses.
And I also go there regularly for “impulse” purchases. I usually stock up on my wine there when I come across good deals or buy birth gifts for my girlfriends’ little ones. In total, over the year, I think I saved around €400.
