If you didn’t make your “Cheat Sheet” before Black Friday, you still can! I know a lot of people are just starting to shop. So whatever you are planning on buying, make sure you get it for the cheapest you can!
Steps to Make Your ChristmasCheat Sheet:
- First, you need to make a list of those Hot Ticket Items that you are trying to find a good deal on. It may be the Xbox, the new Nintendo Wii U, or one of the Top 25 Toys for 2012.
- Take a quick look around online and find the price on those items right now. I always check Walmart.com, Amazon.com, Target.com, Best Buy.com and ToysRus.com. You can write down those prices on a Spreadsheet or piece of paper and have it handy by your computer.
- Write down the BEST Black Friday price on that item right next to the price it is right now.(If you don’t know what the price was for that item, you can use the list I put together here.) This is your special Cheat Sheet. If you find a price online that is better than that Black Friday price, and the price you have on your Cheat Sheet, BUY IT! Dont wait. And honestly, you shouldnt.I can’t tell you how many times I have found deals cheaper than Black Fridayprices online. It happens more than you think! (One of the best places to find these cheaperbetter thanBlack Friday prices is Amazon.com. Plus, they offer FREE Shipping on any order that totals $25 or more!)
- Keep in mind that stores are doing whatever they can to get your business from now till Christmas. So, they will be dropping prices on everything on your list. If you have the Cheat Sheet ready to go, you will know when to strike!
If you are too busy to create your Cheat Sheet, or if you find it a little overwhelming, you are welcome to visit www.Freebies2Deals.com throughout the days from now till Christmas. I have my own Cheat Sheet for all of the hottest items and once I find great prices on those items, I post them for my readers.
Amazon Lightning Deals are one of the BEST Ways to Score your Christmas Items for Cheap! If you are confused, or have questions, you will want to read this little Lightning Deals Information Page. It will give you the tips you need to snag the deals you want when they drop to those super low prices!
Dont forget to have these Lightning Deals Pages Saved to Favorites or Bookmarked and check throughout the day:
- 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 doesnt 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 dont 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!
