Then we get to the money. Whether you’re buying presents, getting yourself a few gifts, or doing your regular shopping, there are tricks you can use to save a pretty penny.
2. Don’t forget about Lightning Deals
Unlike Prime Days, Lightning Deals happen all the time. Lightning Deals generally include products with limited stock or a set time limit. For example, a smart speaker could be on sale for 75% for the next three hours or until it sells out. If you see a deal you like, grab it before it’s gone.
3. Don’t forget to cut coupons
No scissors are necessary for these coupons. When you’re shopping, look for a checkbox near the item’s price. If you click, a virtual coupon will be applied. If you don’t click, you don’t get the discount. Check to make sure you’ve saved all you can before submitting your order.
4. Be patient
Do you need every item rushed to your door? Gifts you might need as soon as possible, but when you can wait, you’ll get a little something in return. Select a later shipping date to get credit towards future orders or media at checkout. When you select a delivery date, you’ll see any available incentives for no-rush delivery. These are often just small credits toward media like audiobooks, but it all adds up. Struggling with what to buy all your favorite people this holiday season?
