A Small Trick for Catching Bargains on Amazon
I *think* I'm done with my Christmas shopping. I have to double check and make sure I didn't accidentally omit one of my cousins, but pretty sure I've covered everyone else. After comparing the price at stores, I finished up by ordering about $100 worth of stuff from Amazon. (I do my mom's and grandmother's shopping for them as well as my own.)
One feature I've found really helpful is the "save for later" option in the Amazon shopping cart. 1. Because I don't have to re-find wishlist items, and 2. Because Amazon will e-mail me automatically when the price changes.
While I make my purchase decision based on available spending money, it is a helpful feature when you're "stalking" a particular item that's just out of reach and waiting for it to drop price wise.
Another Shopping Tip: While this should not be your main determining factor for what and when you buy, many stores offer discounts for "bulk" orders. Buy X amount and get $10 or Free Shipping. If you only have $15 worth of stuff you want, it's a little silly to buy $50 just to get a discount. However, if the store has several items on your list, getting organized and bundling your purchases does have some rewards. (Also for physical stores, fewer trips means less gas spent.)
Oh and take the time to browse your junk mail. I got a $10 off $10 or more from JCP last week. Combining it with a good sale rack find allowed me to get a higher quality gift than I otherwise could with my limited budget.
