Just a reminder to keep checking Amazon during the day… I see prices on items drop all of the time. And, since today is Cyber Monday, you can bet that they have already dropped a ton of prices.
Please keep checking the Amazon Lightning Deals Pages too! I can’t stress this enough.. and really feel like a broken record. But, there are amazing deals that pop up on those all day long. And, if you see something you want, set an alarm on your cell phone so you can be ready to go.
If you want easy access to the Lightning Deals, you can bookmark or save these pages as your favorites. Each time you get online, check them. That is what I do. That way, I don’t miss anything on my Christmas List:
- Black Friday in Electronics
- Black Friday in Video Games
- Black Friday in Toys and Games
(This is one to watch!!!)
- Black Friday in Kitchen and Home
Lightning Deals start every hour or every two hours… depending on the category. Think of them as mini daily deals. They have an allotted number to sell and the first people to add them to their cart and then checkout within 15 minutes will get them. If someone adds it to their cart and then doesn’t check out within 15 minutes, anyone who requested to be on the waitlist will get a message from Amazon letting them know they can claim it instead. **So, if you don’t get it, get on the waitlist, you still could!
On top of these great deals, you can get FREE Shipping with Amazon Prime. You can get Amazon Prime, by signing up for the Free 30-Day Trial of the Amazon Mom Program, or Amazon Student Program. Or, just pad your order to hit $25 and it will ship free too!

Amazon’s deal for Halo 4 is the best I’ve seen. The price isn’t much lower than the price anywhere else, but you get a $20 Amazon Gift Card (!!!) and $10 in Amazon Instant Video credited to your account. It’s such a new and widely desired game that the price won’t really drop so the gift card deals are what you should watch for.

Also, if you use Ebates, Amazon is giving up to 6% cash back on the following items, which they don’t always do: clothing, toys, watches, jewelry & personal care items. I just got 4% cash back on a toy item that is regularly $22, but was on a Lightning Deal for $12.99, then the 4% cash back. I <3 Amazon, especially because I don't pay tax and I get free shipping with Amazon (or $25 orders).

Will Walmart price match Amazon prices or no?

Megan, Target will for the next few days. Just take in your smart phone or a screenprint of the amazon.com price. You will get the new price at the customer service/return desk.
