With Christmas just around the corner, now is one of the best time to buy the little toys and gadgets that adults love so much. Depending on where you live, Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) has some of the best deals whereas in the US the day after Thanksgiving has the best deals. Regardless of where you live though, now is the best time to ask Santa for a Garmin GPS!
A strole through any electronics store prove to you that at this time of year, great deals are to be had. Vast displays and flashy advertisements catch your eye everywhere you look. In a recent trip to Costco (ok, not an electronics store but any store that sells fun gadgets will do), I found row after row of various products on sale. One aisle in particular had a number of Garmin products on sale. Sadly, one of them was the one I have in my truck right now.. at a much better price.
On a side note… if you purchase something and find it later on sale somewhere else, quite often you can get a partial refund. Stores such as Best Buy have a 30 guarantee, but some are even longer. All you need to do is bring in proof of the sale or lower price, plus your original receipt, and more customer service departments will refund the difference (occassionally they will even give you an extra 10% of what the difference is). If you are like me and you purchased all your gifts weeks ago (ok maybe you aren’t…. most of the people I know are last minute shoppers), there are tons of sales going on, especially as Christmas gets closer. If you happen to see last minute sales you may or may not be able to get money refunded to you. Be sure to check what the return policies are from the place you shop at. Some stores won’t let you do returns until after Boxing Day (some even January 1).
Happy shopping and Merry Christmas
