SHOP EARLY
Most sales start at 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM EST. Know the sale time beforehand and click through ASAP for the best sales.

ACT QUICKLY
There are usually limited quantities of each item, so if you see something you like, add it to your cart immediately. Most sites will let you hold on to it for 10 minutes or so while you continue shopping. When the time is up, you either buy it or release it so someone else can grab it.

DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Take note of the return policies as they differ from site to site and sale to sale. Also, study up on the shipping dates—your steals often take two-three weeks to arrive.
For travel always book a trip with firm reservations for fixed dates.
Watch for vouchers valid over a period of months, but “subject to availability”.
And always call the hotel directly too to see if you’re really getting the best deal.
