Ryan Borzykowski addresses the mistakes we all make when we are out doing our Holiday shopping. He cites a number of tips provided by shopping guru Kendra Silvertson to counteract these. My favourite of which, and one I am always prone to look for myself, is “signing up to company email lists to get sales notices”… these often provide an immediate discount as well.
