Cyber Monday Strategy

Cyber Monday is tomorrow (11/29) and it is going to be crazy. It’s the one day of the year that it is totally acceptable to sit in front of the computer all day (or at least that’s what I’m telling my husband!). I cordially request that each of you takes a moment today to prepare for the madness coming tomorrow:

1. Please, make your list. Know what you’re looking for. Know how much you have to spend. Know when to say no.

2. Sign up for Amazon Prime to ensure you have FREE two-day shipping on eligible items. I hate paying shipping, and I know you do, too. There are three ways to get a FREE trial membership of Amazon Prime:

• FREE one-month trial of Amazon Prime
• FREE two-month trial of Amazon Prime through Amazon Mom
• FREE one-year trial of Amazon Prime through Amazon Student

Of course, Amazon Prime-eligible items also qualify for Super Saver Shipping (SSS), but SSS requires a minimum $25 purchase, and it’s a pain to find an item to get you over $25 in a hurry.

3. Bookmark the Portland Save blog and check it often throughout the day.

Amazon is starting to roll out some Cyber Monday deals today (Sunday), so start checking...
