To ensure you get the best savings, do a little research beforehand to determine the usual prices of the products you’re interested in, so you can compare them with the sales you’ll find. And don’t forget to check out the competition - you can never be too sure! Subscribe to your favourite retailers’ newsletters (and to ours) to get a sneak peek of their best deals. These newsletters are full of valuable information about the special promotions that will be available on November 24, or a little before! Make sure you understand the existing return policies, as well as the types of offers: 2-for-1 or discounts for the purchase of 3 copies can make all the difference in the world and make filling your Christmas stockings a breeze.

You should also consider which cards to use when making purchases to maximize your rewards points. Different cards offer more attractive programs and warranties, depending on the type of purchase you make. Find out how to best take advantage of these benefits and kill two birds with one stone.

Grab a bite to eat (or plan to arrive early to explore our restaurants) and get dressed in comfortable clothes to browse the aisles and shop hassle-free. Before you set off, finalize your plan by mapping out an itinerary that will avoid a lot of back and forth or having to drag heavy items over long distances. Grab your wallet, your list, and let’s go!
