Sears Holiday Shopping Challenge

November 29, 2011 By Momstart 4 Comments

I almost finished my Holiday Shopping all in one stop on my couch shopping the Sears Cyber Monday deals, and guess what you still have time to get your shopping done too. By using the RealJoy promotional code you can save all kinds of money at Sears that’s what I did last night.

Ok, so I actually had no idea what I was going to buy. My husband took the kids shopping last weekend while I worked all day. Then I realized I needed to do some shopping of my own and getting me out of the house is hard. I prefer on-line shopping. People at the holiday season drive me nuts. Which is one of the reasons I LOVE shopping on-line. I don’t have to fight for the item I want on sale.

Ok, so! I went to Sears.com. I started looking at the Cyber Monday deals and still wasn’t sure what I wanted to get the kids or my husband. As I was looking I found some VTech video games under the Sears Gift Idea suggestions by price. I wanted to get the kids. So two gifts down. Then as I was looking I saw some pajamas on sale. Zoe said she wanted some new pajamas so there was another item. I kept looking and remembered what my husband wanted for Christmas. I found 8 different things for my husband on-line and when I used the REALJOY promo code at checkout, ALL OF THEM WERE ON SALE. I was jumping up and down because I saved over $35.00 using that promo code PLUS, I got free shipping on everything for spending over $99.00. Sears is AWESOME because it’s more than tools and appliances, you can find all your needs at Sears! It really was hard to not get something for myself too.

I had the option to pick up my gifts in store or have them delivered for free. I chose free shipping but as you get closer to the holidays you might want to pick it up in the store. It’s quite easy and once you have your e-mail confirmation and then go to the store it will be ready in five minutes or less, guaranteed.

Buy Online pick up in Store:

Click it. - Just look for items that are marked with “Store Pickup” when you search, browse or are on the Product Details page.
Find your nearest store. – Search by ZIP code.
Receive your confirmation. - Sears will email you when it’s ready.
Pick it up! - Bring your email confirmation, and receive your purchase in five minutes.

Don’t forget to enter on Sear’s Facebook Page for daily prizes like a $200.00 Sears Gift Card.

Six Online Shopping Tips With Black Friday Around the Corner

November 24, 2010 By Momstart Leave a Comment

I actually really enjoy shopping online because I hate crowds. I also hate how grumpy people are in stores from employees to costumers from now until after New Years. It’s a disaster out there people. So when 6pm.com contacted me with some online shopping tips I just had to share them. Yes I have worked with them on this blog in the past and I love them. They are quite a fun company for a blogger to work with.

6pm.com, the online retail site where brandaholics go for their daily fix of the brands they crave in men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel, footwear and accessories, offers SIX tips for successful online shopping:

Tip #1

Make a List. You will save a lot of time and energy if you make a list of exactly whom you are buying for and what they like. Simply jot down the names and personalities of your potential gift recipients, and leave it next to your computer.

Tip #2

Do your homework. Visit your favorite sites and understand the various promotions they will be offering on specific days. If you are looking for a specific product, check to see if they sell it first rather than waiting for the day of the sale. Also, it’s wise to comparison shop prior to making purchases so you aren’t wondering if you got the best deal.

Tip #3

Establish an Account! Make sure you have an account established and login before you start to add things to your cart! Believe it or not, some sites allow you to “shop” and add things to your cart, but when you go to check out, you realize you haven’t established an account with the site, and you’ll have to do so before you can make purchases.

Tip #4

Shop Early! Many promotions sell out in a matter of hours and some of the hottest selling items can disappear in minutes! Most online sales start at midnight – so if there is something you really want, set your alarm to ensure you’ll get it!

Tip #5

Shop Fast! Although shopping online is a more relaxing experience, products do sell out quickly. On many sites, putting an item in your cart doesn’t reserve it for you! If you put items in your cart, then save the order to finish later, when you go back to finalize, your cart may be empty. If someone else is shopping and put it in their cart and goes to purchase it, sites pull it from available inventory, and when you go back to purchase; it may be out of stock! As the saying goes “you snooze you lose!”

Tip #6

New Tabs make Browsing Easy! Many browsers now offer “Tabs.” To utilize tabs, find a category you are interested in, right-click that category, and select the option to open that link in a new tab. You will then have the ability to continue to browse the main results page, and when you’re ready to make your final selections, you can just click on all the open tabs and finalize your order.

ABOUT 6pm.com

6pm.com is the online site where brandaholics go to get their daily fix on the brands they crave in apparel, footwear and accessories for up to 75% off every single day! For more information visit www.6pm.com
