Making the Most of Holiday Sales

Do you think Santa has a Costco membership? 🎅🌭 Something tells us he’s a dollar-fifty hot dog enjoyer. In fact, we just saw him out back loading up a pallet of milk and cookies. Very merry indeed!

Shopping for everyone on your holiday gift list is a whole lot easier when you plan ahead. 💡 From big ticket items to everyday essentials, here’s how to make the most of this season’s sales. ⏬

 

Here’s Five Fast Facts on how to maximize your holiday sale experience:

  1. 📋 Makin’ a List - Sure it’s early November, but it’s not too early to finalize your shopping list. Look up all of the products you want online before the sales start. This will help you figure out the best deals and when to buy.
  2. 🔔 Checkin’ It Twice - Need help tracking prices? There’s an app for that. Check out CamelCamelCamel for Amazon or ShopSavvy - they’ll alert you of price drops. Don’t forget to sign up for loyalty programs at your favorite stores. You may score deeper discounts or perks like free shipping.
  1. 🛒 Stock Up Stuffers - While you’re tracking the price of TVs or appliances, don’t forget about the little things in life!  Tons of household essentials also go on sale this time of year, making it the perfect time to stock up on staples. 
  1. 🧘 Keep Calm - Retailers are pros at luring people in with flashy sales. However, they’re not always the best deals. Avoid getting caught in the trap by sticking to your list. The last thing you want to do is overspend or pile on more credit card debt.
  2. ⌚ Waiting Game - Each year, it feels like sales start earlier and earlier. Although some deals are worth snatching now, it still pays to wait until Black Friday for others. Appliances tend to be the most discounted then. Take advantage of those tracking apps to pounce at just the right time.

🔥Bottom line: The holiday season is fast approaching! Getting ahead of the game and finding those sweet deals will help you complete your list (without the stress). Are current economic conditions nice to some generations and naughty to others? Turns out your age might have something to do with it. In this article, we dive into juicy stats on our two-faced economy.
