looking for a certain gift for holiday but want to stay in budget . you may be suprised at the ways to find the item for less .
So post what you are looking for and maybe someone can help or post any tips for getting items - even ones that never go on sale for less $ out of pocket .
IE Video Game consoles - IPods Ipads etc are often at a set price by Apple- Xbox - nintendo etc that the companies are not allowed to price them for less BUT you can watch for sales tha include free items - free GC to store with purchase that you can use for other gifts or if walmart even food shopping.
Free cases- covers games etc with cameras - ipods ipads etc , if you cant find a sale at least watch for a freebie with the item.
if you plan ahead you can use GC from points programs etc like swagbucks for amazon GC; to cut the costs down .
videogames
Toys r us often has buy one get one 50% off or Buy 2 get 1 free videogame sale that covers xbox - wii - DS etc
is also often good online ( although to be honet i find their shipping a bit high - but sometmes there is free shipping if a certain amt is spent)
look at out of the norm places.
Kid a thomas the tank engine fan ? or legos or knex etc craft kits use a craft store - the on sale price may be 1-2$ higher but if you can use a 50% off coupon and get one per week - you can do well.
