The holidays are a time of family and friends, good food and high debt. The only thing that seems to remain after the holidays are over is HIGH DEBT (and sometimes the weight gained depending on how much you eat). But one thing we can do to ease the wallet strain is to find great deals.

Here are some ideas for that perfect gift that everyone wants!

OPEN BOX – Open box items are those that are either low on stock, returned without problems, maybe they are missing something simple like a cable or part of the item has a small chip or crack. Most of the time open box items are perfectly fine to use and take some serious looking over before the flaw can be found. Best Buy, HHGREGG, Sears, Walmart, etc. all have open box and discount item deals. The key to finding these deal is to check the stores. These items are usually short lived and go fast because they are a great deal so make sure you’re prepared to buy if you find the right deal.

WINDOW SHOP THEN BUY ONLINE – Sorry local retailers but the truth is your service sucks and the deals you have, for the most part, are NOT deals. A great way to shop anytime, especially during the holiday season, is go shopping but make a list while out. Return home and check online for deals. Even if you want to purchase the item locally retailers such as Walmart and BestBuy have lower online prices and free shipping to the store. And if the purchase is big buying online will (in most cases) save you money no only on the initial price but by not paying sales tax which can be nearly 10%!

HAPPY SHOPPING AND MERRY….holiday season?!
