Budget Christmas Shopping in Lafayette, Indiana

Hoosier Holiday Shopping that Won't Leave You Broke

Susan Sosbe
Lafayette, Indiana is a great place to go if you're looking to do a little holiday budget Christmas shopping. But when Christmas shopping in Lafayette, it may be all too tempting to gravitate towards the mall where you can find a number of stores all in one place. With Barnes and Noble and Best Buy right next door, it makes it even harder to resist. But one-stop shopping may not necessarily mean a better deal. Sure, you may save some gas, but it can be even more worthwhile to look elsewhere to find some great deals for Christmas shopping on a budget.

Family Dollar and Dollar General (1400 Teal Rd and 2432 Teal Rd, respectively) - These two great stores are ideal for budget Christmas shopping for babies and young children. They have a large selection of toys at low prices. You can also find some great deals on stocking stuffers. Shopping here will allow you to really stuff those stocking full at a fraction of the cost.

Gordmans (100 South Creasy Lane) - At Gordmans, you'll find something for everyone on your shopping list. I absolutely love this store. There is so much to choose from like name brands at deeply discounted prices. If you're looking for clothing, footwear, household items, decorations, or toys, you'll find it at Gordmans. For additional savings, check online for Gordmans coupons.

Plato's Closet (3540 State Rd 38) - For the tween or teen in your life, Plato's Closet is a must see for clothing and accessories. Plato's Closet is chock full of name-brand, gently-used clothing like Abercrombie, Aeropostale, Gap and Lucky Brand at low prices. If you're not sure what to get, look into a Plato's Closet gift card.

Walmart Supercenter and Super Target ( 4205 Commerce Dr and 3630 State Rd 26E, respectively) - Both Walmart and Target are well-known for their great deals on just about everything. For your holiday decorating, food, gifts and wrapping supplies, check out these super stores for your budget Christmas shopping.

Meijer (State Rd 26E) - Similar to Walmart and Target, Meijer also has some great deals not only around Christmas time, but all year long. From electronics and computers to groceries and supplies, Meijer can help you find what you're looking for.

Kohl's (2415 Sagamore Pkwy South) - If you have to go to the mall anyway, be sure to stop in at Kohl's. They usually have great sales, especially early sales the day after Thanksgiving. But their sales don't end on Black Friday. Keep an eye on their website or flyers for sales straight through until Christmas.

If you're shopping for Christmas dinner, gifts, stocking stuffers or decorations on a budget, you can always find a deal in Lafayette. You just need to know where to look to find those deals.
