   Are the DVDs usually the same price online or is that something that is store only?

   HOW does Amazon price match? Do you have to ask for it or does it happen automatically when the prices are low at other stores?
   Thanks,
   Emily

     I have done it before, however they don’t always price match everything and it takes a few days. They never seem to price match items not sold by Amazon, which makes sense, but that could be just a coincidence.
     What you do is pull up the item you want on Amazon and scroll to the product details and at the bottom you will see in blue bold “tell us about a lower price”
     Click on that and you just type the store you saw it at or give the link of another online store.
     They don’t have any way of contacting you (that I know of) to tell you if they lowered the price, so I always add the item in my cart, save it for later and check back once a day to see if it has been lowered.
     Hope that helps!
     Not sure how all of it works with black friday though. Maybe you could call/contact customer service?

    Thank you for the great list! I just noticed a couple things: The iTunes gift card from Target should be listed at $50 & Also for the Target 20% off coupon, you have to spend the $75 on Friday only.

    Does K-Mart open thursday at 6 am or friday at 6 am? The ad seemed to say Friday, but here it is listed as Thursday. I really want to get their Christmas tree, so I want to make sure I go at the right time 🙂

    I was also wondering about Amazon price matching so I went to their site and it said this, “With the exception of televisions and cell phones, Amazon.com doesn’t price-match with other retailers (including those who sell their items on our website).”
    So…a little confused here?

    Joey November 13, 2013, 1:53 pm

    I think what she meant by price matching is that Amazon themselves will watch what other retailers are doing and will make their items comparable. At least that is how I understand it.

    Alex November 13, 2013, 1:59 pm

    When we talk about amazon price matching, we’re referring to the fact that amazon is aware of the other store’s sales and will typically adjust their prices to match it (ever noticed how prices on amazon fluctuate?) You can set up an account on camelcamelcamel.com to alert you when a specific product has reached the price you are willing to pay. Hope that helps!

      Ya, Michelle, I heard this also. I was told by a Walmart manager that i asked the other day this question and he said that this is the first year that they will not be doing any ad price matching on either Thursday thanksgiving ads or Friday Black Friday ads– I was sad to hear this, I love to price match at stores, makes it so much easier and quicker to shop on these days!!

    Thanks for the list!!!
    **Just wanted to let you all know that if you are planning on buying a new 5th gen Ipod touch that 5th gen 16GB DOES NOT have a front facing camera!!! The only camera on it is for you to be able to facetime. Nuts! Feels like Apple went backwards on this one. Anyhow, had I bought the 16GB, I would have been unhappy Christmas morning to find out my kids couldn’t use their new ipods to take pictures and make lego movies. So if you are wanting one with both facing cameras, buy the 5th gen 32GB or the 5th gen 64GB!**

No crowds, I get what I want, can shop in the warmth of my own home, and I can go through ebates and always end up getting a good check back 🙂 I wish stores would stop opening so early on Thanksgiving day, and let their employees enjoy the day with their families.
