5 Ways in 5 Days To Save BIG On Your

 

If the news is right most of you are planning on doing atleast a portion of your holiday shopping on-line.  This opens up a whole new world of coupon codes and opportunities to save!

1.  Never shop without a coupon- I ALWAYS check my Store and Coupon Codes database [1] before I buy anything online.  It is a well maintained database (don’t worry I don’t do it myself) with codes from percentages off to FREE shipping on thousands of websites.  (Click here [2]to watch my video on how to use it.)  Also check the social media pages for the store- occasionally they will have codes as well.

2.  Amazon Lightning Deals [3]– can be found on Amazon.com [4] and are available, one per customer, until either the promotion period for the deal expires or all the available promotional discounts are claimed.  They go live all day long and there is no way of knowing the price until the deal goes live.  Some people have said that if you put the item in your cart just a few minutes before the deal starts it gives you a slight advantage at getting it.

3.  Amazon Gold Box Deals [3]–  Amazon.com [4]  offers a great deal of the day next to its regular lightning bargains.  The deal generally lasts all day unless they run out of stock (which does happen occasionally).  When it does they load a new item.

4. Know the In-Store Price– I would say probably 99% of the time prices are cheaper online than in the store.  But that leaves 1%.  So make sure you know the in-store price of an item before you buy it online.  You might save some money going to the brick and mortar location.
