I admit it. There are some deals that you just cannot get without physically walking into the door during the Black Friday shopping weekend. But, if you are patient enough and online-savvy enough, there are a number of deals that do not require you to step outside at all. And there are some online deals that are even better than actually going into the store. <\/p>\n
The trick to scoring online Black Friday Deals is timing<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n I used to think that I was missing out by not going into the stores at the crack of dawn to get my steal deals. <\/p>\n But with sluggish retail sales and growing online customer demand, your favorite brands and stores are increasingly coming to your home where you can shop in your warm pajamas and not have to brave the crowds.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to strategize your online Black Friday deals:<\/p>\n There are going to be a lot of great deals out there. I personally like having the actual ads in front of me. They help me prioritize which stores I need to \u201cclick\u201d into first and what price point I can expect to pay. It also helps me compare between stores.<\/p>\n Some Black Friday deals will rotate back in at another time in the next few weeks. If you miss a Black Friday deal, there\u2019s always another follow up deal that may be even better. Last year I thought I missed out on getting a flat pancake grill for $25.00 (normally $60) but two days later I saw the same grill for $19.99 and I didn\u2019t even have to use a mail-in rebate or coupon code!<\/p>\n This seems counter-intuitive to what I just wrote above but it\u2019s not. A good deal is a good deal. Don\u2019t wait for an even better deal to show up. They do have limited quantities of items and if it\u2019s something that you\u2019ve been waiting for, don\u2019t hesitate to get it right away. <\/p>\n For example, JC Penny is currently running a great coupon giveaway online and in-store during Thanksgiving and they are already letting their online friends in on the deal. Last year, the same door buster luggage sets that sold in-store for $79.99 were also available online for the same price with no shipping costs!<\/p>\n They\u2019ll have their own special \u201cweb busters\u201d that aren\u2019t available in stores. Macy\u2019s and Wal-Mart are especially famous for these web busters. You can also check out online coupons sites like RetailMeNot to score the very best Black Friday deals.<\/p>\n My mom is a big fan of online coupons. By providing an online email address to her favorite stores, she automatically receives coupons for $10 off of $25 and special 15-25% off coupons without having to clip anything from a print ad or search for a specific ad. <\/p>\n1.\tCollect Black Friday print ads.<\/h2>\n
2.\tCreate a list of the items you need from the Black Friday ads and note down the price point.<\/h2>\n
3.\tIf you do see a great deal online, GET IT!<\/h2>\n
4.\tCheck out the online websites before Friday to see if any sneaky deals have popped up.<\/h2>\n
5.\tIt pays to check out the online websites.<\/h2>\n
6.\tSign up for email promotions ahead of time.<\/h2>\n
