Well, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials are about over. So what’s next?
Don’t expect the end of sales. Stores really want you to spend your money with them. Expect to see free shipping offers online continue, and more two and three day limited time sales in department stores.
I’d be interested to hear about your purchases online today – if you got the big ticket item you wanted, with free shipping – or will you get a sold out message later? The job of fulfilling such a large number of orders in such a short time is truly a test of a retailer who has it together.
There was no trouble today redeeming freebies from Amazon.com. Did you know that you can download music for free on Amazon? When record companies want to promote an album, they’ll give away a song. Find some really incredible freebies on Amazon for you to download to your mp3 player. Also, don’t forget to keep checking Amazon for their hourly deals.
Walmart is offering sales through Cyber WEEK, not just Cyber Monday. There’s a Nintendo Wii value bundle for $249, a Sony bravia 32″ LCD HTDV for $398, a $99 Magellan Roadmate, and a $98 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S930 Silver 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom, Bonus Case Included, + Sony 2GB Memory Stick Bundle. Walmart will ship for 97 cents to your home, or for free to a Walmart store.
Overstock continues to ship for free, and offer at least 10% off.
CVS.com will give you a progressive discount. Sign in, and save $10 off $50, $15 off $65, and $20 off $80. You’ll earn Extra Care Bucks for your online purchases as well. Free Shipping starts at $49 in purchases. Check the site for limited time deals.
“Limited time” seems to be the big push this year. It will pay to keep shopping, keep looking, keep checking back at your favorite stores and websites. Your persistence will be rewarded with savings.
