Cyber Monday Deals Week Is Now On at Amazon.
Although Black Friday lands on November 23 this year, with Cyber Monday to follow on November 26, holiday deals have appeared on Amazon well before then. Early Black Friday deals are happening now!
Whatâs more, Amazon is holding week-long sale ahead of Black Friday that will begin on November 16, 2018.
Here are our top tips to getting the most out of your Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Experience
Tip 1- Set Up Online Accounts Now
Most online stores prefer you to create online accounts with them. If you want to save time when shopping for those bargains on Black Friday, sign up to the stores you wish to buy with now. LastPass is a great way to create and store all your passwords. LastPass also makes it super easy to log in to each of the accounts youâve created as it saves all the necessary details for you.
Tip 2 – Write Yourself A List
Youâve most likely got some items youâve wished for, that would be an excellent addition to your crafting experience. Black Friday deals and sales may mean that a new sewing machine or craft supplies are affordable. Put together a list of âmust haves,’ âwishesâ and gifts for family and friends that would mean giving at Christmas is entirely sorted.
Tip 3- Search Online For Those âGot To Havesâ
The beauty of online shopping is that it can be done from anywhere youâve got internet access! Sitting comfortably in the comfort of your home with your computer is much more preferable compared to the other option. Making a mad dash to a store and waiting in line with other enthusiastic shoppers Youâve also got your phone. Â So when you have some time, researching deals and shopping online is as simple as a few clicks.
Tip 4 – Stick To Your Budget
Letâs face it; we can get caught up in the sheer delight of finding bargains. Overspending could happen very quickly! Set yourself a budget of how much you can spend before you get carried away.
Tip 5 – Shop Online Securely
It is important to shop smart when doing so online. When arriving at any online checkout page, be sure that it is secure. You will know that the page is protected because it will have âhttpsâ in the address and there will be a little green padlock icon on the left-hand side of the address bar.
Tip 6 â Price Comparison
Check out different online price comparison sites such as ShopSavvy for the items on your wish list before you shop. Then you will know what the current prices arblie like. Then research the stores/online or offline to check who is offering the best discounts.
Tip 7 â Be Aware of Return Policies
Make sure you read the fine print of what a sale itemâs return policy is. Perhaps it is a short window for return or exchange only.
Tip 8 â Hunt for Bargains
Sign up for the retailersâ e-newsletters so that any awesome deals are delivered to your inbox.
See what your Credit Card Provider reward store has on offer. Then pay for your Black Friday shopping your credit card and top up your rewards.
Tip 9 â Be Social
Keep your eyes out on retailersâ social media pages, they often promote deals through twitter and facebook. Who knows, you might stumble on something you were looking for all that time.
Tip 10 â Expect to Start Early
Online stores never close so from the stroke of midnight in some cases, the super duper discounts may be offered. Be ready to snag a bargain.
