Top 5 Black Friday Shopping Strategies
Happy Thanksgiving! Back in the day, I posted Black Friday deals all weekend long on our site. I will post a few but these days, I spend most of the time with my family. That being said, I’ve been a pro Black Friday shopper for years so I do have a few tips for you.
Here are my Top 5 Black Friday Shopping Strategies:
1. Discounted Gift Cards: I’ve said this before but you don’t know until you try it. Visit GiftCardGranny.com right now and buy gift cards to use on Black Friday, Cyber Monday or any of the days in between. You can purchase conventional gift cards and online cards at a fraction of the cost and you can still add on your deals and coupons at checkout too!
2. Shop NOW: Many (if not all) of the Black Friday deals are live online right now. Many of these deals online are better than the Cyber Monday deals so, get to shopping! Quite honestly, there’s no reason to leave the house.
3. Stalk Amazon: Right now, there are amazing deals happening and they will continue to happen through Christmas. Be a stalker on Amazon.com, prices change all the time! My favorite deal is the Fire Kids Edition for only $84.99, looks like a great gift to me!
4. Search for Coupons: If you’re shopping in store, ask if there are any available, look through local coupon books, sign up for newsletters, etc. If you’re shopping online, use a discounted gift card as mentioned above AND (not or) search RetailMeNot.com and other similar sites for coupon codes.
5. Shop Local: Visit your local, small businesses and shop there too. Most are offering discounts and those of us with small businesses appreciate your business. 🙂
Enjoy Thanksgiving, no deal is worth missing time with your family. But, when you do have the time to go shopping, shop smart!
HOT: Black Friday Deals + Discounted Gift Cards
I have taught coupon classes for 8 years now and in every single class I talk about the importance of stacking discounts and deals. The whole point of couponing is to “stack” as many deals as allowed in order to get the retail price as low as possible.
Enter discounted gift cards.
I have posted about these in the past but I’m telling you, this is the new “stack” for retail shopping. When someone receives a gift card they do not want, they can sell the gift card to GiftCardGranny.com. You can then purchase that gift card at a discount!
Here’s a few:
- $69.21 JCPenney gift card – $60.54 ecode save 13%
- $397.02 Macy’s gift card – $353.35 save 11%
- $100 GAP gift card – $88.90 ecode save 11%
- $15.00 Payless Shoes gift card – $10.28 ecode save $31.5%
See how that works? You can purchase standard in store gift cards or digital gift cards. I have bought several and they’re amazing! I can save money right there with the gift card and then, I can still add on coupons, Black Friday discounts, etc.
It’s all about the stack! Visit GiftCardGranny.com and check out their Black Friday deals!
What’s Your Shopping State of Mind?
Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner and now is the time to start thinking about your Christmas list! Most people will agree, when it comes to gifts, a gift card can’t be beat! For the gift giver, it’s easy to purchase and for the recipient, it’s a great to be able to purchase exactly what you want at your favorite store.
Do you purchase gift cards for family or friends out of state? I do! Recently, GiftCardGranny.com released an amazing infographic outlining the most purchased gift cards by state. This is the best way to find out what your family and friends really enjoy!
For example, if you have family in California, a Home Depot gift card is the way to go! What about Colorado? Looks like Target for the win! Take the guesswork out of the gift giving this year and check out the graphic below to find out the best gift cards to give in every state. If you’re still in doubt well, it looks like you can’t go wrong with Home Depot! It is the most purchased gift card on GiftCardGranny.com.
The best part is not only do you now know the best gift cards to purchase, you also can purchase those gift cards at a discount! You’ll save money and the recipient will be thrilled, it’s a win-win!

Fall Into Savings with Discounted Gift Cards
Fall is finally here! The seasons are changing which means, our wardrobes are changing too. Looking at my closet, I have no idea what I wore last fall, I’m starting to think I skipped the season entirely! Needless to say, it is time for an upgrade.
When I start thinking about shopping, my mind instantly starts thinking about deals. I look for coupon codes, sales, flash deal sites and of course, discounted gift cards.
How do discounted gift cards work? Good question.
If you receive a gift card you don’t need, you can simply sell it to websites such as GiftCardGranny.com. Currently, the top sell percentage is 92.5%. Then, GiftCardGranny.com can resell the gift card (at a discount) to other consumers. It’s a great deal!
For example, If I a plan on buying shoes at Payless, I can actually buy a $150 Payless gift card for only $100 from Gift Card Granny right now! That’s a savings of $50 instantly! Plus, since it is a gift card, I can use my usual coupons too. See why I love discount gift cards?
