How to Make the Most of This Holiday Shopping Season!

November 28th, 2011 | News, Other | 0 Comments

A majority of Americans are dreading shopping this holiday season, and many are revealing their inner Grinch!

An Ebates.com survey of 2,429 American adults discovered that 96% of Americans are dreading some aspect of holiday shopping, and shoppers are engaging in some bad behavior, including:
· Cutting in line – 6%
· Fighting over a parking space – 6%
· Parking in a handicapped spot – 4%
· Taking an item from someone else’s shopping cart – 3%
· Physically or verbally fighting with someone for an item in a store – 3%
· Other type of “mean manners” – 4%

In the meantime, feel free to use these tips from Ebates:

1. Get Double Bang for your Buck

Sites like Ebates and FatWallet can help you get double bang for your buck when going to top stores like Target, Macy’s, GAP, Nordstrom, and Toys R Us. They send you money just for shopping through them in the form of a rebate check. If you want to buy your favorite Groupon deal, those sites will give you a rebate check; so you take advantage of the savings AND get a little something extra.

2. Click on Codes

Coupon sites like AnyCoupons and “cash back” sites have thousands of coupon codes and free shipping codes. Even if the online store you’re visiting isn’t offering free shipping, check with those sites for special shipping codes. Same goes with coupon codes.

3. Save Time by going Mobile

There are shopping apps that congregate all the holiday sales for you so you don’t have to visit a million different online stores, especially if you know what you’re looking for. For example, FatWallet’s Black Friday Deal Finder app helps shoppers find where to get the best deals as they happen. And make sure the app is free, like FatWallet’s!

Black Friday shopping tips

November 21st, 2011 | Holiday Shopping, Other, Shopping List | 0 Comments

Many retailers are offering pre-Black Friday deals online now  thur Wednesday.  Target, ToysRUs and Office Max are just a few if you want to start shopping early and avoid the crowds.

If you love in store shopping, Black Friday shopping sites make it easy to check store hours and preview the deals.  Check out BFads.net, BlackFriday.info, BlackFriday.net, and TheBlackFriday.com, BlackFriday2011.com as well as year-round sales aggregators such as FatWallet.com and GottaDeal.com.  Also try mobile apps such as Black Friday.

You may have already seen the ads, but I think Walmart has some of the best deals for Black Friday.  To avoid a stampede ( remember a few years ago?) Walmart will be spreading out the deals over two days. Starting today at 10pm, toys, bikes, game, video games starting at $10, clothing starting at $3 and other items will be on sale, then Friday at 12am the electronic deals will be the hot item. A few cant miss items include the Nikon Coolpix from $99, Ipod touch from $189, Compaq laptop for just $198, an HP Desktop for $298.  Then at 8am, you will find deals on car tires, hunting gear more.  Sale starts at 10pm on 11/24/2011 and ends at 11:59pm on 11/25/2011.

Would You Pay $18,000 for Flip-Flops?

September 14th, 2011 | Not really shopping, Other | 0 Comments

Can you imagine paying $18,000 for a pair of flip-flops? What if they supported a good cause?

These super expensive pair of shoes were created by artist David Palmer who partnered with Chipkos and L.A.-based company. This dynamic pair has partnered together in order to adopt 100,000 sq. feet of Costa Rican rainforest.

These are probably the most expensive flip-flops ever but it is nice to know that even flip-flops can be transformed into something that helps such a worthy cause.
