Countdown to a Frugal Holiday: 3 Last-Minute Savings Tips
Christmas may be four days away, but you still have time to save big. Check out these three last-minute savings tips, courtesy of CouponShack.com, a leading online coupon site, which has lots of other ideas on ways to save on holiday shopping this year:
1. Benefit from the price wars – Dell and HP are having a huge personal consumer battle, and you, the consumer, could come out the winner. For example, Dell just dropped its netbook price to $279. In addition, the ongoing war between Amazon and Walmart keeps getting better. Amazon just lowered the price on The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray to $14.95 from $35.99. Be sue you compare all prices between the two before buying games, movies and CDs.
2. Holiday Stacking – Stack coupons on one item if the store policy allows to save double, or stack coupons on the whole order. With already discounted items from price wars and the extension of holiday promotions, it’s a last-minute shoppers dream this holiday season. In addition, don’t forget to search for additional coupons you can use to bring your prices down even more. I just plugged in “coupon” and “1800petmeds” into Google (yeah, sexy present for my dog), and came across a 10% off coupon code I never would have known existed–or never would have known to apply to my order!
3. Free shippping – Free Shipping Day last Thursday wasn’t the last day for free shipping from all retailers. Target gives consumers until today, the 21st, and Macy’s and Zales’ free-shipping offers go all the way to the 23rd!
