Start early: Some stores are already offering discounts you can take advantage of.
Compare prices: You can use tools like Google Shopping, PriceGrabber, and Shopzilla to compare prices among retailers to find the best deals.
Use loyalty programs: Store loyalty programs often grant members early access to coupons, sales, and promotions, then let them earn rewards for what they buy.

Check store policies in advance: Most retailers have price-match policies, so be sure to check them in case you find a better deal elsewhere.
