How to Get the Best Online Deals

Are you looking for to find out How to Get the Best Online Deals?  Every year it just creeps up on us!

With the “official” holiday season just about here and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday only just over a week away, we’re already beginning to see some awesome online holiday shopping deal ideas!

If you don’t want to fight the crowds this year, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some great online deals that can make fabulous holiday gifts.  We will be posting various online deals here at LRWC as we find them!

Here are some tips for shopping online this holiday season:

  • Take advantage of Ship to Store and Free Shipping Offers:  Many online retailers such as Walmart, Kmart, Lowes and many more offer free shipping when you have the product you purchased shipped to your local store.  This is a great feature because sometimes we can score a great price on a product but then shipping charges can make the deal not so good anymore.  Consider signing up for the following free shipping offers:
  • Amazon Prime: Free 2-day shipping with membership for any amount on participating products on Amazon.
  • ShopRunner : Free 2 day shipping with membership for any amount at stores like Toys R Us, American Eagle, Drugstore.com, PetSmart, Sports Authority, GNC and many more.
  • Always shop online through Cash Back sites:  ALWAYS shop through Ebates or ShopatHome before you start your online shopping to get actual cash back in your account, to save even more money!  If you are new to either of these sites, you will also get a bonus cash back when you make your first purchase of $25 or more.
  • Locate the best Internet price:  Even if an item seems like an awesome price, quickly take a minute to do a price comparison to make sure it’s not selling somewhere else cheaper.  Often times private sellers on Amazon will raise the “retail price” very high to make you believe you’re getting a spectacular deal because the % of saving is so high, however this might not always be 100% accurate so be sure to do your research!  I use the online extension PriceBlink which gives you prices at many different stores right in your toolbar.
  • Ship the item directly to recipient: If you’re online shopping for holiday gifts, consider shipping the item you’re buying directly to the recipient!  This will save you extra time and save you the added expense of shipping the item yourself once you receive it.
  • Remember to check LRWC for daily deals:  Be sure to bookmark the following pages to check the up-to-the minute deals for your holiday shopping
