Each morning take 2 minutes, head to Amazon.com and scroll through the Lightning Deals. You can see what deals are starting at what times. If there is something on your Christmas list, and it is being featured as a lightning deal, set your phone alarm to be ready to go right before it starts!
An Important Change to Note this Year: Amazon is now giving Amazon Prime Members 30 minute early-access to certain deals. That means that some of those hotter deals might actually be gone before you even get a chance to grab them–IF you aren’t an Amazon Prime member. So how do we get around that??
If you haven’t already, you will want to get signed up for a FREE 30-Day Trial of Amazon Prime! Right now is the perfect time to do this. By starting now, you could potentially get all of your Holiday shopping done before and during Black Friday Week & Cyber Monday and have it all shipped to you FREE! Since deals have already started (even earlier than last year) it should be pretty easy to get all of your shopping done before your 30 days are up if you start right now.
I would HIGHLY recommend you have these special pages saved as a favorite or as a bookmark. Then you can quickly check throughout the day to see which deals you want to grab:
- Lightning Deals in Electronics
- Lightning Deals in Video Games
- Lightning Deals in Toys and Games
(This is one to watch!!!)
- Lightning Deals in Kitchen and Home
- Lightning Deals in Movies
Today, Nov 28th, there are a few good deals that I am seeing on things like Board Games, Lalaloopsy Baking Oven, Tons of Movies, Video Games, My Little Pony, Art Sets and more!
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, or Amazon Student Program. Or, just pad your order to hit $35 and it will ship free too!
