Rossen Reports: Save big during these early holiday shopping sales
Hi. Yeah, it may seem early to start talking about holiday shopping, but the sales are already starting. Let me go through some of them with you that we've learned about first. If you haven't marked it on your calendar yet, Amazon's prime big deal days will be on October 10th and 11th. It used to just be prime days. Now it's Amazon Prime Big Deal days. It's basically like prime day on October with lots of sales and discounts on products. Target is also hosting its own sale called Target Circle. We from October 1st to October 7th. You just have to be *** member of Target's free loyalty program. You'll see up to 40% off on kitchen items and up to 40% off on other items and big brands like Beats and Dyson. Plus you get $10 off toy purchases totaling 50 bucks. And finally Best Buy is launching something pretty cool on its app. It's called Best Buy Drops. Products will go on major discount, but you have to act fast because there are limited quantities. For example, you can save 70 bucks on this Apple. Watch when the drop goes live, you'll save $250 on this Atari gaming console. 13 year old me is going crazy. I love my Atari. Just go on the Best Buy app and click this drops icon right over here and it's going to tell you which ones are live and which ones are coming up. Plus you can sign up for notifications when the discount goes live. Best Buy told us there will be multiple drops coming nearly every week through the holidays. And one other thing before I go, I want to tell you about some tools to help you holiday shop and keep track of prices. Honey. It's *** web browser extension that scans the internet for coupons on whatever item you're looking at. So that one and Camel, Camel Camel, another extension. This one tracks prices to let you know if the price on that product will go down soon and finally racket helps you make money while you're spending it. It gives you cash back on qualifying purchases.
