ThriftyNWMom.com was founded by Jen Dotson, (photo, left), who launched the site as a way to share her love of a good deal & frugal ways with family & friends. Her partner in “cyber-finds and online values” is Sla Hills, the founder of Centsible in Seattle. Sla is passionate about sharing frugal tips and deals with others to take the stress off of making your dollars stretch.
For Cyber Monday 2012, the pair has featured as many of the best local (and Web-wide) deals as they could find. We excerpt a few herein, but we recommend you search their Cyber Monday category to find the most recent posts all week long.
Cyber Monday Week runs all week long on Amazon. The ThriftyNorthwestMoms advise that if you find a deal on another site, check out Amazon to see if it might also be on sale for the same price or whether Amazon will beat their deal with a better price.
Here is Amazon’s Lightning deals page for spur of the moment deals! Thrifty Mom’s advice: Since Amazon Lightning deals can go very quickly – if it says that it is sold out, make sure to get on the Wait List right away. The buyer then has 15 minutes to decide whether or not they want to purchase the item, if they choose not to, then they will go thru the wait list to give it to the next available person.
If you want to get free Amazon shipping for the holiday season (requires cancellation if you do not want to continue with paid membership), you can sign up for an Amazon Prime Free 30 day trial membership In order to make sure you’re not charged for the Amazon Prime free trial membership – just click on “Your Account” – Go to “Settings” – “Manage Prime Membership” – click on “Do not upgrade Prime Membership automatically.”
