RETAILERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
TOUTING BIG SAVINGS, HUGE
DEALS, BUT ARE THOSE YOUR BEST
DAYS TO SAVE CASH?
LET'S FIND OUT.
JOINING US TO OUTLINE SMART
HOLIDAY SHOPPING TACTIC IS
PERSONAL FINANCE EXPERT,
SHAWNEE CURRY.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
WELCOME BACK.
LET'S TALK ABOUT HOLIDAY
SHOPPING.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GET
STARTED?
BLACK FRIDAY OR CYBER MONDAY?
Reporter: HERE'S WAS FUNNY
AND SOME PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO
LIKE THIS.
BUT, I ACTUALLY DO MY SHOPPING
ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
NO.
YOU LEAD YOUR FAMILY AND YOU GO
TO THE STORE?
OH, COME ON!
YOU CAN DO CYBER SHOPPING.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO TO THE DEAL.
-- GO TO THE STORE.
HERE'S THE DEAL.
LOOK AT IT AS A WORKOUT.
AFTER THE TURKEY AND STUFFING,
GO GET YOURSELF SOME DISCOUNTED
STUFF.
IT TOTALLY WORKS.
TRADITIONALLY, HISTORICALLY --
YOU CAN EAT ALL DAY.
NO, NOT ALL DAY.
FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS WHEN IT
COMES TO GETTING SAVINGS,
THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO
SAVE THE MOST MONEY.
NOW, HERE IS THE KEY.
NOT EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY IS
KIND OF LOOKING AT YOU, LIKE,
YOU KNOW -- [ LAUGHTER ]
LOOK AT THIS VIDEO.
THIS IS FULL ON, FULL CONTACT
SHOPPING.
WHO NEEDS THAT?
SHOPPING ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
THINK OF IT AS YOUR CARDIO.
IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU.
SAVING ON YOUR BODY.
YOU DON'T CUT THE TURKEY, DO
YOU?
[ LAUGHTER ] NO WONDER YOU GO
SHOPPING ON THANKSGIVING.
NOW, THE SMART THING ABOUT
THIS, IF YOU ARE GOING TO JOIN
ME, THERE IS ONLY 20% OF US
THAT ACTUALLY DO IT.
BUT, 75 RETAILERS ARE ACTUALLY
CLOSED AND AREN'T GOING TO
PARTICIPATE IN OPENING ON
THANKSGIVING DAY BECAUSE THEY
SHARE YOUR SENTIMENT.
BUT FOR THOSE THAT DO SHARE MY
SENTIMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO GET
DOUBLE SAVINGS, 30% TO 40%
MORE THAN WHAT YOU WILL GET ON
CYBER MONDAY, ALSO ON BLACK
FRIDAY, YOU WILL SAVE MORE
MONEY AND THAT'S YOUR GOAL.
WHAT KIND OF GIFT?
WHAT KIND OF THINGS?
ELECTRONICS, LAPTOPS,
COMPUTERS, TABLETS, BEAUTY,
COSMETICS, YOU NAME IT.
I MEAN, FROM CATEGORY TO
CATEGORY.
YOU CAN SHOP ON THANKSGIVING.
BUT, YOU HAVE TO BE STRATEGIC
BECAUSE 75 RETAILERS HAVE SAID
WE AREN'T EVEN OPENING OUR
DOORS.
BEFORE YOU RUN OUT TO THE
STORE, GO ONLINE AND CHECK THE
STORE TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT
THEY ARE OPEN.
OKAY, SO I HAVE A QUESTION.
THANKSGIVING SEEMS TO BE THE
BEST DAY BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE
ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SHOPS
ON CYBER MONDAY BECAUSE YOU
DON'T WANT TO DO WITH BLACK
FRIDAY CROWDS, THERE ARE
SPECIFIC THINGS THAT ARE BEST
TO BUY ON BLACK MONDAY -- CYBER
MONDAY.
75% OF AMERICANS SHOP ON
EITHER BLACK FRIDAY OR CYBER
MONDAY.
BEFORE GOING TO THE STORE,
DECIDE WHAT IS IT THAT I'M
GOING TO BUY?
THAT'S GOING TO DICTATE WHETHER
YOU SHOULD SHOP ON BLACK FRIDAY
OR CYBER MONDAY.
SO FIRST, GENERATE A LIST AND
DECIDE WHAT IT IS YOU ARE GOING
TO BE BUYING.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE BUYING A
LAPTOP, DEFINITELY SHOP ON
CYBER MONDAY.
PRICING IS MORE -- THE LAST 4
YEARS, YOU WILL GET A MORE WELL-
EQUIPPED LAPTOP.
THERE ARE TONS OF
ADVERTISEMENT.
SO, YOU WILL SEE LOTS OF ADS
FOR BLACK FRIDAY.
LOADS OF DEALS BEING
ADVERTISED.
HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO
QUALITY, YOU'RE DEFINITELY
GOING TO DO BETTER WITH A LAPTOP
.
WITH ALL OF THESE DEALS, HOW
DO YOU ADVISE PEOPLE TO CONTROL
OVERSPENDING?
OKAY, CONTROLLING
OVERSPENDING.
YOU COULD GO WITH ME ON
THANKSGIVING, THAT'S ONE WAY.
IF YOU AREN'T DOING THAT, YOU
COULD GO WITH CASH.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND, WHILE
YOU ARE BARGAIN-HUNTING, YOU
ARE THE ONE THAT IS BEING
HUNTED.
THAT'S WHY THEY'S HAVE --
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THESE
SLASHING OF THE PRICES.
THEY ARE HOPING THAT YOU GET
THE LAPTOP FOR $400 BUT ALSO
PICK UP SOMETHING ELSE TO HIT
YOU OVER THE HEAD FOR $1200.
YOU ARE REALLY THE PERSON THAT
IS BEING HUNTED AS IT RELATES
TO THE BARGAIN.
SO, BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT AND
FIND OUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU
WANT TO GO FOR.
AND, LOOK AT THE LIST.
AND STICK TO IT.
WHEN IT COMES TO LAPTOPS, WHEN
IT COMES TO BEAUTY, WHEN IT
COMES TO COSMETICS, THERE ARE
SPECIFIC DATES THAT YOU WANT TO
SHOP.
IF YOU ARE SHOPPING ON BLACK
FRIDAY, YOU WANT TO GET TOYS,
TELEVISION, IPADS, TABLETS AND
CLOTHING.
BUT IF YOU ARE SHOPPING ON
CYBER MONDAY, LAPTOPS,
VACATIONS.
YES, VACATIONS.
WELL, WHILE WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING WE'VE BEEN PUTTING THAT
INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN
AND HEAVILY EVERYBODY WAS
TAKING NOTES.
THANKS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE
YOU ON THANKSGIVING.
THAT'S GREAT.
