According to a list of money-saving Walmart tips, compiled by Best Life, there is an ideal time to shop for holiday-themed items.

Walmart store employees know that the price of holiday items is automatically reduced after a holiday concludes.

The Krazy Coupon Lady also reveals why after-holiday shopping allows for less money spent.

The website explains: "After-holiday clearances offer more than enough reasons to keep the celebrations going.

"Because for the most part, stores like Walmart, Target, Macy’s, Walgreens, and Rite Aid drop deep discounts on whatever holiday items are left in stock.

"After-holiday clearances typically include decor, candy, gifts, and accessories for 50-70 percent off — and the discounts don’t stop there."

The best deals usually come immediately after annual holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and Valentine's Day.

According to the Krazy Coupon Lady, December 26 marks the in-store and online Christmas clearance for Walmart.

The first discount starts at 50 percent off, and the second, beginning at 75 percent off, occurs between December 31 and January 10.

For more money off items, the final discount takes place around January 11, with a Christmas clearance reaching up to 90 percent.

Walmart's markdown system

Walmart's markdown system is described by Best Life as "sneaky," but a breakdown of the method helps shoppers find the lowest prices.

Tiphero lists the meaning behind Walmart's codes, noting that items with prices ending in "7" - like "$__._7" - are the original price.

Items ending in "5" follow the first price markdown and items ending in "1" or "0" represent the final markdown.
