Last Minute Christmas Shopping Tips

As some of us are veteran Christmas Eve shoppers, we learned a few tricks on how to save big as the big day approaches.

1.) Smartphones – When a new generation of a phone is introduced, retailers begin discounting the previous generation. So, by staying on the trailing edge, you can save big bucks. Right now, both Apple & Google have introduced new versions of their smartphones, meaning you should be able to find bargains on the older version.

2.) Video Games – Believe it or not, video game consoles and the games themselves become cheaper the closer we get to Christmas. Beware, though, because this also means the particular model or game you want may be sold out or in short supply.

3.) Extended Warranties – Do we even have to remind you not to purchase an extended warranty on appliances and electronics? Often times, you already have an extended warranty by using a credit card (check your cards benefits) and most appliances and electronics are built to way out last any extended warranty.
