If you are doing your Christmas gift shopping on the Internet, check to see if there is a Textbox asking for a coupon or promotional code before you click that “Buy” button. This is generally a tip-off that there are extra discount available for that product. If you find such a Textbox, write down the name of the merchant and the product code. Go to one of the coupon websites, like fatwallets.com or couponcabin.com, and enter the product information. If there is a special promotion for this item, it will give you the discount coupon code. Now you are ready to return to the merchant’s site and make your “discounted” purchase.
Try to save money while you do your Christmas shopping
If you do your shopping online, try websites which provides rebates on purchases made through their site. You can save anywhere from two to five percent of the purchase price. eBates.com offers members free shipping promotions and special offers from the more than 700 retail stores they represent.
Try shopping the night before the big sale
Ready for the big Christmas sale on Friday? The top secret is to shop the store the night before the sale starts, Thursday night in this case. Many retailers fill in their systems for the special sale discounts after 5:00 PM the day before the announced sale date. This allows you to take benefit of the lower sales price without fighting the crowds the next morning. Unfortunately, not all big retailers follow this practice, but it may be worth a special trip down to your favorite retailer to test it out.
Ask for unadvertised discounts
Don’t hesitate to ask your seller if there are any unadvertised discounts, special coupons, or sales going on that week. Many shoppers offer special sales for regular customers as part of their loyalty programs. You might have to sign up for the program, but the discounts usually make it well worth while.
